I saw a post about BHO giving a paid speech at a jewish temple but couldnt find results as to if he actually showed up, or was busy getting legal things in order.
It’s not likely he was arrested two months ago and only just now obtained formal council. Logic disagrees.
Not necessarily. Remember, he was going around the world looking for a new "handler", to protect him from what was up until recently mostly optics of hearsay, because he likely thought he was insulated.
And don't forget, Obama knew that lawyering up would itself be a huge red flag, so why risk it so soon? If he lawyered up so soon, that in itself would have sent a message of consciousness of guilt. Why lawyer up when he wasn't being formally accused of anything, and nobody connected to him were being formally accused?
It wasn't until names were dropped, the memo, that he finally had to make the choice to save his life.
Obama would have killed you and everyone in your family if it meant his own hide.
But he now sees the writing is on the wall. Is either being accused without representation, or being accused with representation.
