Being a Trump lawyer must be an amazing experience. I think of it along the lines of being in a giant popcorn popper in Hell and you just keep jumping from side to side in the sizzling oil, hoping that you get thrown out of the pan before you explode. News broke earlier that
Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis is reportedly considering RICO charges against Donald Trump in her probe of his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, CNN reports. RICO charges are generally used when prosecuting organized crime cases.
“The reason that I am a fan of RICO is, I think jurors are very, very intelligent,” Willis had said last year about a different case. “They want to know what happened. They want to make an accurate decision about someone’s life. And so RICO is a tool that allows a prosecutor’s office and law enforcement to tell the whole story.”
The dead last thing that Donald Trump wants is a RICO investigation. That’s pretty clear from how quickly his lawyers jumped on this development.
In addition to requesting quashal of the report, Trump's team argues that the Fulton County District Attorney must be disqualified and that the jury pool has been tainted by comments made by the grand jury foreperson and the special grand jury's supervising judge. pic.twitter.com/3nIBkLW43z

All hells a poppin’ everywhere.
2/The special counsel is also investigating concealment of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago & Trump's role in the false certification the items had been returned. A fed'l judge has ordered a lawyer to testify, using the crime fraud exception to the attorney client privilege. https://t.co/XMxCngNa2N

4/ Some of the investigations could expand. Charges in NY are expected to involve false business records created to conceal Trump’s payment of hush money to Stormy Daniels but there are possible charges involving manipulating property values for tax, loan & insurance advantages.

6/That's just the criminal side of Trump's problems. He faces multiple serious civil matters including an April trial in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case & an upcoming NY AG matter that may put him out of business in New York.

And with all this going on, friends, the man is still running for the world’s most important office. Oh yes, a guy in his circumstances is exactly who you want to be the leader of the free world and helm our land’s highest office.
Once again, I feel like my head is doing 180s on my neck. Once again I ask, can the Republicans be serious about wanting this clown on their ticket? Again? After all this? And once again I say, “yes.”
From this point of view, they seem like idiots and fools to want him as the head of their ticket, but what do I know? I didn’t think he’d get elected in the first place.
Idiots and fools sounds about right. Just look at RWNJ media.
51 pages of motion and 430 pages of “exhibits”. I’d toss it on the grounds that state laws allow the special purpose grand jury, and there’s evidence to back up their charges.
In case the 2023 election isn’t already shit-show enough, Joe Exotic just announced that he’s running as a Libertarian.
It is a sad state of politics when that dumb-ass would do better in the W.H. than a former occupier.
I hope the judge fines them for contemp of court for filing the most frivilous motions in the history of this country. Of course (because Trump is a former President) it will drag out longer than it should. I hope I am wrong.
“Giant Popcorn Popper in Hell” Love the analogy!
