      You always want to see people get good counsel, as it protects against the defendant claiming ineffective assistance of counsel later. But it really would be hilarious if this was the case

      He’ll never qualify. It would be hilarious if he ended up representing himself, though. I mean he’s had plenty of competent counsel, he just chooses not to listen to them. Quick, someone sell him on the wonders of Sovereign Citizenship!

    What an embarrassing day for this twice impeached, insurrectionist traitor and convicted rapist with two active indictments and more on the horizon.

      I do not want to minimize that he is, in fact, a rapist, but rather to highlight our legal system’s inadequacies: he has never been criminally convicted of sexual assault. He has been found civilly liable, which forces him to pay damages, but doesn’t put him in jail.

    Get norm pattis to do it he’s had so many wins for right wing guys lately, it’s not like he was part of the biggest defamation payout ever.
