Oh, Mr. Kellyanne!


...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:




Previously, on The Idiot in the White House...



UPDATE:


Such a lawsuit could have some serious issues, according to national security attorneys Mark Zaid and Brad Moss.

Zaid noted in a tweet that an NDA that is meant to apply to Sims after Trump’s inauguration would be “legally unenforceable,” except when it comes to classified information.

Moss, who is Zaid’s law partner, explained in an email to Law&Crime that while a campaign NDA could be fine if they were only looking to enforce it regarding Sims’ experiences before becoming a federal employee, they’d have trouble enforcing it when it comes to Sims’ work as a White House staffer.

“If the campaign is trying to impose their NDA upon Sims for disclosures tied to his time in the White House, they’re going to run into the brick wall of established precedent on the subject,” Moss said. “They would in effect be arguing that the court should allow a president’s campaign to censor a former federal employee in a way that the government is barred from doing. Good luck with that argument.”

Of course, Trump never cares whether a lawsuit is valid, only if it can hurt someone politically or financially and act as a deterrent to others who might have something negative to say about him. Sims can probably use the extra money he'll be getting for the sales of his book now that Trump has brought more attention to it, or maybe a GoFundMe, to pay any legal costs. Oh...wait...
Zaid and Moss have offered to represent Sims should he face a lawsuit, with Zaid saying they would do it pro bono.


UPDATE:




Well.
