Gee, imagine that.  Another lawyer throws in the towel.

LAST MONTH, WHEN Donald Trump parted ways with “Billion Dollar Lawyer” Drew Findling as his lead criminal defense attorney in the Fulton County, Georgia, case, the decision was then met with surprise and dismay, including among some of Trump’s closest advisers and lawyers. 

At first, the reasons behind the departure were opaque, with several high-ranking members of Team Trump asking one another why the ex-president would ditch someone who was internally viewed as perhaps Trump’s single most competent attorney. Findling was in the middle of leading the legal defense against the one prosecution that is likely the most perilous for Trump — and the lawyer was replaced just as the former president was about to have his historic mug shot taken in Georgia.

But as the dust settled, some of the reasons behind this shakeup became clearer. According to three sources with knowledge of the matter, the high-profile departure was largely driven by the same kind of power struggles that have long plagued Trump’s legal teams, even (or, especially) during times when Trump is trying his hardest to stay out of prison. Those problems only intensified when it became clear that Fulton County prosecutors were going to pursue a wide-ranging indictment of Trump and many of his confidants; it was the kind of nightmare scenario that Findling, well-known for his successful defenses of Cardi B and Offset, was hired to attempt to prevent.

The sources say that the problems stemmed in part from the tensions between Boris Epstheyn, a senior advisor to Trump who has also acted as an in-house counsel to the former president throughout the various criminal cases against him, and Findling.

One of these sources tells Rolling Stone that tensions arose over the fact that “Boris [Epshteyn] did not control him.” 

This source adds that the tense working relationship between Epshteyn and Findling was evident to many within MAGA circles. “It was pretty well known,” this person says. Findling’s impending departure became apparent to others weeks before his announced departure in August as Epstheyn began a search for another Atlanta criminal defense attorney, according to the sources.

A small group of Trump loyalists —  such as Epstheyn — would argue to the former president that Findling was not a team player, that he couldn’t be completely trusted to defend the ex-president, and that he was “anti-Trump,” according to those familiar with the matter.

internal displeasure with Findling’s work and style deepened. For instance, Trump, Epstheyn, and some others in the inner circle grew frustrated with Findling’s apparent unwillingness to wage on the kind of flamboyant, scorched-earth pre-trial strategy that Trump often demands of his lawyers and aides in these cases, sources recount.

Also, that Milley article that's been quoted for Luis Avila is a pretty good read.  https://www.textise.net/showText.aspx?strURL=https%3A//www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/general-mark-milley-trump-coup/675375/#main-content

I think this is my favorite quote showing what an epic, ignorant, unfit dumbshit Trump is:

  Quote

Kelly escorted Milley to the Oval Office. Milley saluted Trump and sat across from the president, who was seated at the Resolute Desk.

“You’re here because I’m interviewing you for the job of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” Trump said. “What do you think of that?”

Milley responded: “I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.” At which point, Trump turned to Kelly and said, “What’s that other job Mattis wants him to do? Something in Europe?”

Kelly answered, “That’s SACEUR, the supreme allied commander in Europe.”

Trump asked, “What does that guy do?”

“That’s the person who commands U.S. forces in Europe,” Kelly said.

“Which is the better job?” Trump asked.

Kelly answered that the chairmanship is the better job. Trump offered Milley the role. The business of the meeting done, the conversation then veered in many different directions. But at one point Trump returned to the job offer, saying to Milley, “Mattis says you’re soft on transgenders. Are you soft on transgenders?”

That's what this is all about.

Excuse me Kelly, what’s the SAUCE DE JOUR?

“It’s the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, Mr. President.”

Mmmm, that sounds good.  Let’s do that.

Is he only being prosecuted in the federal system?

In one post you discussed the disaster of a “failure to convict”, but also, where applicable (state cases) you discuss mot bargaining for anything less than prison. Prosecutors often have to weigh those two things. For DOTARD, and this question isn’t loaded at all, would you support the prosecution agreeing to a really light sentence, possibly without real confinement, if it meant a conviction of the offenses?

Personally, I’m not sure how I feel about it.

I think I might be ok with it, simply because the scenario of a long drawn out trial resulting in an acquittal makes blood lose from my ears.

I don't know.  I understand the point above that the motivation should be to keep him from retaking office, but that's not really something the legal system should be concerned with.  They should be trying to convict guilty parties and doing as much as possible to ensure a reasonable sentence.  My layman's opinion is that Trump has done plenty to warrant prison time, but I'm not an attorney or a legal historian.

I started counting how many pro-Trumpers I know that would watch that video and their first thought would be, "I bet that colored man has marijuana in his system when he disrespected authority like that" but I got tired and passed out.

Ugh, as a Palmetto State Armory customer, I'm aware of their politics and don't really mind them but hosting somebody under felony indictment really seems gross. 

Also check out Jamin McCallum's super terrible gun safety and handling on display in this video. @Brisketexan what would your father done if he had seen you do this? I know what mine would have done.

Dear lord: 

 

 

Sounds like his campaign was pretty adamant later to say dipshit didn't buy anything after all. Guess somebody in his team realized what was about to happen.

Sigh.  You mean the pointing of the gun at.....everyone on the left side of that room?  Sure, my dad would be livid.

But, when you realize that none of that matters, because "guns" are no longer "dangerous firearms, to be treated with appropriate caution, safety, and respect for their lethality," and are instead now talismans of a psychotic cult that waves them around as a symbol of the wielder's power and willingness to hurt people, that conduct makes perfect sense.

Guns are not tools that are treated with the proper respect.  They are symbols flaunted by a cult.

Did the campaign or someone working for him buy it for him? Did they leave with the gun? Seems like it’d be pretty easy to find out
