      I'd like to report a missing person. WH attorney Emmet Flood, whom taxpayers are paying to help Trump stay out of prison, has been missing for ~ month. Last seen negotiating Mueller interview everyone knows is not going to happen. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/08/donald-trump-nuts-rejects-war-council-intervention-goes-it-alone … https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/08/donald-trump-nuts-rejects-war-council-intervention-goes-it-alone …pic.twitter.com/hYmDjJzOfI

      Just because he’s not on TV doesn’t mean he’s missing. I’ve done some of my best lawyering without a camera in the room.

      When I suggest that's why he's missing, that will be an excellent response.

      Just wasn’t sure why you believe he’s missing.

      Because the report (that I screen capped) described a function that Flood was reportedly hired to fill, and instead is describing McGahn still filling it. That, plus his absence from a slew of other Mueller investigation stories in the last month. 1/2

      And, finally, the continued sheer incompetence of Trump's defense. I had thought it'd get better with the hiring of Flood but there's no sign of that. 2/2

      I expect Flood probably had something to do with pitching the legitimately good “I’ve-been-paying-hush-money-all-along” defense that Trump rejected out of hand because he’s scared of his wife.

      Can Flood get involved in campaign finance issues? Doesn't seem like something WHCO should be involved with.

          We’d all say the same thing about Rudy being involved with anything having to do with WH personnel and document production. But he keeps weighing in on that and other issues that were in the Cobb/Flood portfolio.

          Sure but Rudy is, just like Davis, abt PR. I doubt he's actually involved in production at all (such as it is still going on at the WH).

          He works for the WHOSC, which is different. I don’t think representing the office of the presidency would prevent him from weighing in on Trump’s personal legal issues. God knows they don’t observe that kind of firewall in reverse; Rudy regularly weighs in on both sides of it...

          To be clear, my comment had more to do with the defense being legitimate than the subject matter. I took it being a good idea legally as evidence of Flood’s influence. But the Raskins aren’t stupid, and McCarthy wrote a column laying out the defense in NRO. Not a secret at all.

          Yeah, I guess my comment reflected an underlying confusion abt WTF Flood is doing and why he's tolerating the charlatanism that is Trump's defense, unless he's there protecting the Office and Pence's future in it.

          This admittedly makes more sense than my theory.
