Only the best lawyers

Can work for Trumpy Bear!

Judge just sent back the paperwork for the $175mil bond in his last civil suit because the paperwork showing that the backer had the actual funds to pay the bond weren't properly completed.
Seems like this should have been a no-brainer for his legal team.

Then again, he did have a lawyer who didn't understand that she could have requested a jury trial, so there is that...

[Dave's Not Here Man]

He's exhausted almost as many lawyers as he did cabinet members. I imagine that the pool of high falutin city lawyers is getting pretty shallow. And even the couple of true believers he has managed to bring into the cult know they're going to be suing him for unpaid bills after they are dismissed.

They're going to just write them off. Either that or Trump will declare them as True Patriots and tell his followers to go after them if they ask for money.

[Dave's Not Here Man]

Literally no boutique law firm in the free world would take him as a client and risk losing knowing just how big that risk actually is, and how the death of their own little empire rides on it.... to go in knowing it's also a write off? I. Don't. Thin. Sew.

As for the ones already stacking the deck, you have to believe, even if only for your own sanity, that many, if not most, people might actually feel differently about how they are viewed now versus how they are viewed for all time.

Wall of Shame or Badge of Honor?

Wall of Shame? More like Wall of Scumbags.

Looks like it was ruled that Trump can't call classified documents his 'personal records'. Guess Judge Cannon is starting to realize that if she doesn't get her shit together, she might not be Judge Cannon much longer, but Citizen Cannon instead.

Yup. Smith got testy with her and told her to piss or get off the fucking pot already. Finally.

I hope this means the PRA is a dead issue and cannot be introduced before the jury. I haven’t read her ruling yet.

[k9krap]

As I feared, the PRA defense wasn’t killed. It can be brought up during trial, even though it absolutely does not apply in the espionage charges. So, yes, this case is still on shaky ground.  She can still dismiss due to the PRA after the jury is seated, leaving Smith no recourse due to double jeopardy.  

On a happy note, I see Letitia James says the bond holder isn’t licensed in NY, so she’s questioning the legitimacy of skidmark’s recently posted $174m bond. 🤣 You go, girl!
