INDICTED

[mtrycrafts]

I respectfully submit this existing facility already owned by the US Government: Ft. Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park.

Could be an easy place to break him out by his guys unless well-fortified and declare it no .longer a National Park.

This is not exactly a ringing endorsement of Boris Epshteyn:

>>>Boris was the guy we only put on TV when we needed someone to say stupid things.”<<<

Trump reportedly has great confidence in Epshteyn, even though he has no experience in criminal law, let alone litigating criminal cases.

I was thinking Alcatraz.

Its a tourist attraction so that will not work in the state of CA.

That might be his only salvation. Case closed.

Salvation? If there is an afterlife, I doubt salvation will be in the cards...

Here's a link to the case.

The only attorneys of record for Trump are Todd Blanche (Pro hac vice) and Christopher Kise (permanent).

Blanche was just sued for malpractice:

>>>Todd Blanche and his former law firm, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, are being sued for malpractice by twin brothers Adam Kaplan and Daniel Kaplan, who allege Blanche and Cadwalader forged their signatures on a retainer agreement and “severely” overbilled them while they were the subject of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probe.<<<

Trump lawyer Todd Blanche sued for malpractice

A lawyer representing Donald Trump in multiple cases is facing legal troubles of his own, New York Law Journal reports.Todd Blanche and his former law firm, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, are being sued for malpractice by twin brothers Adam Kaplan and Daniel Kaplan, who allege Blanche and...

I'd take the malpractice claim against Blanche with a grain of salt. Clients who don't want to pay often assert malpractice in order to get leverage on their former lawyer to avoid paying. Also, the timing appears to be tailored to create maximum pressure on Blanche.

Cadwalader is a very well-respected firm and Blanche apparently quit in 2022 in order to represent Trump. I suspect Blanche may come to regret this career choice at some point.

Like Blanche, Kise also quit a prestigious law firm to represent Trump.

There have been numerous (unconfirmed) reports that Kise urged Trump late last year to find an off ramp to avoid an indictment, but Trump supposedly listened to Epshteyn instead and took a more defiant approach. If Trump is still listening to Epshteyn even though Epshteyn is not the one representing Trump in court, Kise is likely to be in an extremely difficult position going forward (not that it would be easy to represent Trump under any circumstances).

Trump's approach to legal issues reminds me of the "Thank you sir, may I have another?" scene from Animal House:

 

[Mr._Clark]

FWIW, reputable "white shoe" law firms do not want to be associated with Trump (especially in criminal matters), so lawyers at these types of firms are forced to make a choice between representing Trump and continuing their career at their firm.

Salvation by putting him out of his miseries?

Trump said "Food for everyone!" He didn't say it would be free (sarcasm alert).

Nevertheless, I'm willing to bet that his supporters all believed it was free as they were paying their tabs.

Salvation by putting him out of his miseries?

Salvation for the RNP. If there's any left for them.

Once again Republicans have an opportunity to distance themselves from Trump and yet again they are on the verge of squandering it.

Here we have GOP, the self-styled party of Law&Order, refusing to change the "loyalty pledge" even if the person winning the nomination is a convicted felon. Good grief.

>>>Despite at least one candidate expressing concerns about the Republican National Committee’s requirement that they support the eventual nominee in order to qualify for the debate stage this summer, the committee said there will be no changes to its protocols.<<<

The RNC walks a delicate line, post Trump indictment

The candidate complained about pledging to back a possible "convicted felon."

An interesting tidbit that Trump was not charged with something that was in the search warrant, and could have him disqualified from running for President.

>>>…There are other indications that Mr. Smith, who sat a few feet behind Mr. Harbach in the courtroom on Tuesday, intently following the back-and-forth with the judge, seems intent on avoiding unnecessary confrontation.
Conspicuously absent from the indictment was a potential charge that had been listed in the affidavit the Justice Department filed to obtain a search warrant
It was the only crime on the sheet that might have directly affected Mr. Trump’s 2024 presidential bid, requiring that anyone convicted of it “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”

Many legal scholars believe that the provision is unconstitutional and would have ultimately been struck down if it were imposed on Mr. Trump. But Mr. Smith’s team sidestepped the issue altogether, leaving it out of their 37-count indictment on a section of the Espionage Act that imposes a prison term but no restrictions on holding office. …<<<

In Trump Prosecution, Special Counsel Seeks to Avoid Distracting Fights

Jack Smith has taken an iron-fist-in-a-kid-glove approach, sidestepping secondary issues that could divert attention from the weight of the evidence he has assembled in his case against the former president.

The Oklahoma governor said on Fox he's supporting DeSantis, not Trump. Also Hugh Hewitt said 75% of the party doesn't want Trump but the other 25% do. Otherwise the only candidate I've heard recently is Christie. Overall though most are not willing to rub feathers with Trump's base.

On the other side, Newsom just endorsed Biden. The only other is Kennedy.

What the Trump apologist Hugh Hewitt thinks is just another example of the lows that GOP has sunk to, and that has been the case since Trump was president. Just go read his latest op-ed in Washington Post.
