Powerline, of all maniacs, is starting to think the Trump legal team might not know what the hell they are doing. But here’s the line from their story that I want to address:

No, it is not hard to understand their motives, and no, why would these explosive claims, if false as we know them to be, be career destroying? One thing we have learned from Trump presidency, and the Iraq war before that, is, nobody pays consequences for anything. What happened to Trump as a result of promoting Obama birtherism?

You’re describing two different careers, though. The political career is entirely dependent on the electorate, and we’ve found out that the party of morality will toss all morals to get what they want. But their ability to continue as lawyers will be significantly strained by this stuff.
