In familiar predicament for famously challenging client, multiple Florida lawyers decline to take Trump’s case, people familiar with the matter say.
Thanks for gifting the WaPo article. Interesting stuff. Will he choose the scorched earth defense or the “flip one jurist” strategy. My guess is the former. He can’t help himself.
Coordinated delay tactic. His goal is to delay until he is President again and pardon himself.
Possibly joking, but I really do think this is just another delay tactic. It’s what he does, and it has worked so far.
That’s completely wild to me that a president can pardon himself. Wtf?
I don’t think the President can, but that won’t stop the orange one.
Trump should get one of those sovrin sitizin types to defend him.

I disagree with the trump trials. They are politically charged and set a precedent of arresting your political opponents. I’m not saying he’s innocent or guilty but we should consider the bias
Dude he stole highly, highly classified material, didn’t give it back when asked, lost some it, and had it stored in a bathroom.
That’s far beyond politically charged. Read the indictment. Not all charges brought to politicians are theater
1)Read the indictment. There is a tape where he breaks the law and then acknowledges that’s it’s illegal and proceeds to break the law more. That single law has a sentencing guideline of 10 years.

2)special council is insulated from AG and WH
3)the judge is a trump appointee
4)It doesn’t set a precedent for shit. He broke the law. He will have his day in court.
Anything around Trump is politically charged. That doesn’t give him carte blanche to flagrantly break the law.
If not a trial, then what should be done if he is suspected of a crime? Just ignore it?
He’s a former president. Obviously it’s going to be politically charged, that’s unavoidable. But what’s the alternative, you just get away with crimes because you ran a country once? It’s not as if Biden personally ordered his arrest…
Bias of? I’ve read the indictment and it seems pretty straightforward.
They feds gave him a massive amount of opportunity to remedy the issue and has not been charged at all in any way for anything that he gave back. It’s only the stuff that he retained after over a year of lying and refusing for which he’s being charged. They practically broke their backs twisting around and trying to be as accommodating as possible to give him every possible chance, vastly vastly more patience than if literally anybody else on the planet had done the same, and still he didn’t hand it back.
Imagine if he walked out of Target with a TV he didn’t pay for, but instead of tackling him or grabbing it they sat there watching as he loaded into is car. They sent him letters as he had people over and told everyone that he got it for free.
Seriously, Trump had classified marking envelopes on display at the bar in Mar-a-lago. We know for a fact he was showing documents to people like the Discord guy. He stole nuclear secrets. He stole national defense information. None of the crimes he’s been charged with even require the documents to be explicitly classified, it’s enough that the sensitive nature of the documents is sufficient to make possessing them a crime. And yet he kept them by the shitter.
What would unbiased accountability look like to you? If the roles were reversed, Trump would be shouting “Lock him up!” in front of crowds every day. No one is doing this to him now (except in jest), because it’s expected that his trial be fair.
Read the full indictment. It’s clear he understood what he was doing was illegal and he didn’t care, and it’s clear he was aware it was not in the country’s best interest. He was given many chances to make it right and failed to do so. He’s been treated more fairly than he’d have done to his political opponents.
He needs to be held accountable. He put himself above the country, and it can’t happen like this again. If a federal trial in front of a red state jury isn’t fair, I don’t know what would satisfy you.
Trump is neither Merrik Garland’s nor Jack Smith’s “political opponent”. The DOJ is supposed to be an independent entity that does not take direction from the president. Conservatives seem to forget that because of the way Donny Double Indictments and Bill Barr ran the DOJ. Donald did crimes, this one is catching up with him. Yall need to hang up your jersey’s eventually…
Oh god I wish there is a downvote button here.
So what your saying is presidents should be able to do whatever they want just because they’re politicians.
Well no but I am concerned that is will become a pattern. Trump has already stated that he will prosecute biden if he is reelected. I doubt he is going to be reelected but its possible a republican controlled Congress should decide to take biden to court.
I obviously don’t support policially charged trials but some conservatives do
