Fair enough. I'm sticking to my initial points- it's more than we've seen probably ever, and the onus of why rests squarely on Pres Trump's shoulders.
He selected a staff that was only going to create one thing, a dumpster fire. But I suppose if we recall his campaign was full of political amateurs as well, and that dumpster fire won an election.
So the problem here is that he was woefully unprepared from the jump? I don't really like that as an answer.
Because Hillary wasn't a narcissist? The Senate seat was gifted off the Tammany hall machine. The Sec State position was patronage in which she did very poor at.
I'll concede that 100%.
True, though it does raise the difficulty in proving the case since the admission is likely to be thrown out. It also gives the defense room to maneuver for a better plea deal. Overall, it was sloppy of them to do that and jeopardize the case, based on the available information of course.
I don't think it is much of a jump. While a standard tactic by the defense, Miranda 101 (at least in the Florida academy system a decade ago) taught to make sure everyone understood what triggers Miranda and how not using it can appear. While Miranda is not necessary all of the time, if it isn't used, care must be taken to remove (as much as reasonable) the appearance of being in custody if questioned. Part of any investigation is to ensure its integrity and remove as many options as possible that are available to the defense. Hence the reason for yearly training and up to date policies.
