Jack Smith is playing a blinder here.  Preempting Trump’s lawyers, looking very reasonable, controlling (as best he can) the agenda.

Trump will bring in new/additional lawyers in early December and claim they need another five months for security clearance and to peruse the evidence.

 

And it will be denied, unless all his previously cleared lawyers have quit…

…and the judge does NOT have to allow an attorney to withdraw from a case.

Aye, Trusty and Rowley withdrew at the point before they could be forced to continue.  If that doesn’t send a signal to other potential lawyers for Trump then f**k knows what will.

Loved this bit in Smiths latest submission.

Basically he’s saying that whilst the subject matter is significant, the law relating to it is very straightforward and “does not present novel questions of facts or law”.  Boxes Trump’s defence into a corner and minimises any absurd rulings from the bench imo.

Trump’s history of not paying people is haunting him now.

There’s something surreal about MAGA supporters still spouting the lie about Trump winning in 2020 whilst across the USA Republican state politicians are gerrymandering and suppressing voting in a way that surpasses all previous attempts.

It's not suppression when they're doing it. It is however suppression when the other side aren't. Don't you know how all of this works?

You get the impression that saying "I bet Hillary wouldn't eat this last spoonful" will soon be a great way to get him to finish his pureed ketchup steak and mashed Big Mac.

I've just finished re-reading 'Fear' by Bob Woodward about the opening year and a bit of his presidency. It is terrifying stuff. Routinely talks of aides having to take stuff from his desk before he impulsively signs them. He was obsessed with trade deficits and could not have it explained to him how the ability for the American consumer to pay $250 dollars for a cheap Korean TV rather than $500 for an American one was good for the American economy because it gave the US consumer more money to spend on other goods and services in the US. It genuinely paints the picture of a guy in charge of the country with the intellect of a 12 year old.
