      If Flood thought Trump could win by winning in court or w/Exec tactics, he wouldn't have come on with this strategy already in motion.

      this whole argument about "winning in court" is absurd because trump will not end up in court. doj's position is that sitting president cannot be indicted and mueller is bound by that policy.

      Oh. 1) SOL even on some of Trump's known actions (say, 12/29/16 deferral of sanctions) runs out 5 years later, so in that case 12/29/21. 2) Trump's testimony will affect aides (POTUS and VPOTUS was crucial, eg, in Libby case), who will end up in court.

      3) Naming Trump a co-conspirator may lead him to end up in court, via any of several means.

      > 1) SOL even on some of Trump's known actions (say, 12/29/16 deferral of sanctions) runs out 5 years later, so in that case 12/29/21. what's the crime? under which law? flood, whom you base your arguments on, works for the white house, so anything after trump's...

      leaving office is obviously irrelevant. so are "exec tactics" then.

      so, your line of argument all seems a bit convoluted and inconsistent to me. trump won't end up in court while he's in the white house. flood works for the white house. so flood should be acting in accordance with those facts, no?

      Flood's speciality, of course, is keeping people from being impeached and if impeached (which is a "court" of sorts overseen by a judge), then not found guilty. In my experience that specialty in the past has been largely abt exec tactics, not PR, EVEN with Dick Cheney.

      and nothing flood did contradicts anything of the above. did i miss flood going on tv and yelling "something something deep state"?

      Is Flood on the same legal team as Rudy? Did Flood do something unprecedented and well outside the norm of exec tactics? Did Rudy go on TV and yell about the meeting Flood participated in? So yes, Flood did something that contradicts it.

          flood is, in fact, not on the same legal team as rudy, no?

          No. He is undoubtedly on the same team, just paid differently.

          i disagree. it makes a difference, and it's an important one. giuliani is trump's personal attorney, flood works for the white house.
