You knew that signing up for it though.
I understand the idea that you're going to represent a former president of the USA and how good thats going to look on a CV. But all of them are ruining their reputation and legal careers, as well as likely death threats/attempts if they mess up. Trump is breaking the law in the open and in 8k. Its not even a legal excursive thats mentally stimulating to work any of his cases because he just admits everything hes doing while on trial or doubles down later.
There is just doing a job you were hired to do, but its not mandatory for these people to work with trump. Especially as he doesn't pay anyone. With all that known beforehand, I have 0 fucking simpy for any of them. You know hes going to abuse the legal system that you dedicated your life/profession to. When he starts lying, they all have the option to go "shit, hes insane. I'm out' Only few have. The rest must be drinking the fascism kool aid, i dont know how else to see it.
Its like defending a murderer who keeps murdering people in between your meetings. its just obscene the level of crimes this man is doing in real time. They are parroting his non-legal defenses. Its like he just rents lawyers as actors to say what he wants to say in court, there doesn't seem to be any legalness behind his lawyers.
I don't know how he and his lawyers can possibly stop this from being anything but the smoking gun.
Having Judge Aileen Cannon put on the case -- the same Trump appointee who was fucking with the FBI last year during the documents search -- makes me nervous. I hope it was worth it to move the case to Florida.
Also I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but Trump's valet was also indicted this morning.

I was always skeptical anything would come out of this but holy shit, lmao.
I'll say the thing:
"I'd Like to See Ol Donny Trump Wriggle His Way Out of THIS Jam!"
No biggie if she is temporarily put on the case. she can ruin her career in totality being overruled again. If she stays, its definitely going to delay everything. Perhaps thats why they also moved to florida, to iron out this nonsense with his own favorable judge for everyone to see.

In addition to Cannon, Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart's name also appeared on the summons sent to Trump on Thursday, the sources said.
Reinhart, who was sworn in as a magistrate judge in 2018, is also familiar with the proceedings against Trump: he signed off on the initial search warrant of Mar-a-Lago last year and later ruled to unseal the search affidavit – decisions that made him the target of antisemitic jabs on the internet.
Judges in most federal cases are assigned at random. But the apparent nods to Cannon and Reinhart on the summons for Trump might actually reflect the fact that both have already played roles in the proceedings, experts said."
Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, initially assigned to oversee his case: Sources
A federal grand jury voted to indict Trump on at least seven federal charges late Thursday as part of an investigation into his handling of classified documents.

You can almost smell the fear coming from this blow hard. They all know off camera he is done.
He hasn't denied anything because he claims he did nothing wrong, and that Hillary and Biden are the true criminals.
Have a lot of lawyers actually ruined their reputation or lost business by defending Trump?
I don't think the timing works out. This is the trial of the century, fierce legal resources will be at his disposal. This will take a while.
Dark Brandon strikes again
I just thought about all the delays, through the nomination/election. Whoo boy this wet farted fast.
If she isn't just there for the arrest then fucking off, this isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
You might be right, though I have no idea how a judge can recommend that guilty charges in this case *wouldn't* involve jail time.
I'll say this- If he's found guilty on any of these charges, I don't see how he escapes jail time.
Yeah bro, I love to be caught on tape confessing to federal offenses and simultaneously wiping out multiple lines of self-defense.
Sanctions and losing the ability to practice law, is enough for you to see(as a prospect lawyer) that its a pattern. As far as business, who knows what their financial books show but I doubt many people are lining up to hire guliani, sidney powell, or habba. As far as fascist donations and being booked on TV, sure its a net bonus. Thats why i said they are drinking the koolaid because they are effectively no longer real lawyers, but TV personalities that say fascist things.
on topic;
The Aileen Cannon thing is a wrench. Does anyone know if this means shes just there for the arrest or if this is now her case?
Indictment unsealed
You really have to put /s in these posts or people will think you're serious.
Pence: Only third world countries go after their predecessors.
Well, the fact that Trump has bastardized everything about the Presidency to get to this point speaks volumes as to why he needs to be held accountable for his actions to ensure it does not happen again.

i have this strange feeling hes going to have a kermit ass voice.
I think there's a difference between the kind of activities that win you the Republican primary and the kind that win you a plurality of independent voters and suburban moms.
Clearly his diehard supporters would vote for him even behind bars, but polling also suggest his criming doesn't play well with normal people who don't follow the Biden/Burisma expanded universe content. Going to be difficult to attack Biden on corruption, sexual assault allegations, or national security (all of which he did in 2020) with the receipts the Biden team has now.
Agreed. It's not the smart move to rely on Trump at all. Trump also has to has to win for that to even be possible. He should fold and let the government use him as a star witness to get the best deal possible.
Who amongst us hasn't read classified documents while on the shitter?
