Trump's newest attorney, a lawyer who seems to be cut right out of a mobster movie, appears to have completely flip flopped on his views regarding whether Trump actually committed a crime related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. In the above clip from 2018, Joe Tacopino went on CNN and actually said:
"Everything is fair game...and it is hard to argue, you can't look at this, you can't look at that. So yes, if there is an issue with that payment to Stormy Daniels being that it was made behalf on the candidate and it was not declared, that's fair game, unfortunately, if that's the case.
Quite frankly, Michael Cohen has made statements that would give rise to suspicion for any prosecutor to say that doesn't make sense, that a lawyer took out a home equity loan with his own money, paid somebody he didn't know, on behalf of a client who, by the way, had the where-with-all and all the money to pay $130,000 and by the way, didn't tell the client about this settlement agreement.
It's an illegal agreement, it's fraud, if that's in fact the case."
OH REALLY?
Whoopsie. First there was question about whether Tacopino can even represent Trump since he had a consultation with Stormy Daniels about this exact case. Now there is this recorded interview where Trump's own lawyer had pretty strong views about the fact that this was a crime. How long until Trump has to fire him and find another mobbed up New York lawyer to represent him? Are we looking into Bob Loblaw? How about Jackie Chiles? Both are stellar TV lawyers. Just saying....I know Bob Loblaw is a big Trump fan too.
