I wonder if Donald Trump’s lawyers talk to him before he goes on the air to incriminate himself further and make all the prosecutors’ cases easier? Do they even try? Or do they have a laissez-faire attitude that what will be will be and as long as I’m getting paid, let the client tap dance his way to the guillotine if he wants to? Trump was on Hugh Hewitt’s Salem Radio Network’s show Wednesday morning. He got a few laughs when he quipped that he won’t debate the other Republicans in the GOP primary race but he would debate the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, if given the opportunity.
That may have had some amusement factor momentarily but the remark that will come back to haunt Trump could be his arrogant crack in response to a question Hewitt asked him about moving boxes at Mar-a-Lago. This comment is virtually assured to backfire, and if we know anything, we know that Jack Smith is a stickler for details and you know where the Devil is found, right? In the details.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack Smith uses this statement against Trump at trial.
Trump thinks he is “allowed to do whatever I want.” The jury will receive instructions from the judge indicating that the law indicates otherwise. https://t.co/nYaFPgkY7y

There he is, swinging his balls, tiny though they may be (and we will certainly take Stormy Daniels’ expert opinion on these matters.) This is not the time for hubris, Donald, this is the time for humility. Not that you know what either of those words mean.
And the legal powers that be began tossing out opinions, naturally.
Also admissible in government's case in chief if they want, imo.

“Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” Surely some lawyer of Trump’s has explained this to him. You would never know it, to see how he behaves, but I am positive he’s heard this many times.
Watch this gif below. Trump says, “We have the right to do whatever we want.” Oh yeah? Including break the law? Uh uh.
He’s always felt like he is a king or something and somehow above the law. pic.twitter.com/QkcvXiNqdR

He dug his grave with this crack. Maybe he impressed the radio host for a nano second but at what cost?
Trump’s not only a raging narcissist, he’s got a very cavalier attitude towards his legal problems. It’s rare that anything Trump does shocks anybody, but his reason for not going to the arraignment in Georgia the other day managed to shock people. You want to know why he skipped the arraignment? He simply didn’t want to get out of bed at 6:00 a.m. Not to participate in a legal matter, which let’s face it, next to having surgery or taking final exams, is pretty much considered to be a life and death matter. By normal people, in any event.
No, Trump was thinking about having a news conference and making a media event out of it, naturally, but when he found out he was supposed to be there at 9:30 a.m., he simply couldn’t be bothered. Makes you wonder if whatever prison he would go to would accept his catering requests or if they actually would expect him to eat and sleep when the other inmates eat and sleep?
In all seriousness, I think it would do the man a world of good just to be incarcerated for 24 hours and realize the gravity of all this. Because so far, he’s viewing his legal jeopardy as entertainment and a chance to play victim and grift. It’s not real to him.
But what can you expect? Accountability is a foreign concept to him. He does “whatever he wants” and always has. And then he hires the lawyers and they clean up the mess and the scenario repeats in an endless loop. It must be incredible to learn that one’s actions have consequences near the end of the 8th decade of one’s life. I’m sure glad it’s him and not me, getting that kind of a wake up call.
He’s spent his whole life in the F.A. stage, he simply doesn’t realize that it’s ending, and he’s entering the F.O. stage.
He’s going to find it more than a little surprising-and uncomfortable.
I hope he doesn’t realize that,because every time he opens his mouth and voices his usual bs,he makes the judges and prosecutors’ job that much easier.
Nixon learned the hard way that p breaking the law IS illegal even if the president himself does. He resigned to avoid impeachment and criminal charges,,and I suspect that an agreement to resign with is why Ford pardoned him. I doubt Biden will get involved, but will stand back and let the trials play out with no possibility of a pardon.
Poor Trump. He’s torn up inside. Part of him would LOVE to have his shriveled & desiccated balls replaced by a pair of “bigly” hollow brass ones, complete with tiny microphones inside that he could turn on so people could hear them clang when he walks. On the other hand, he’s WAY too squeamish to countenance the thought of someone, even Dr. Ronny Jackson taking a scalpel or pair of surgical scissors to cut open his wrinkled scrotum, and having stiches in there while it heals up!
You should be ashamed. There is NOT enough brain bleach available to remove THAT image from my mind.
His grandiosity fits with his experience to date. It will continue until the law proves he is mistaken. At that point he will openly call for another attempt to violently overthrow the government. Given he’s been allowed to run amok for his entire life, he will be incapable of adjusting to any consequence that involves jail. He will either flee or kill himself.
I hope that, rather than sentencing Secret Service to prison, he is held in isolation, for his own protection, and that instead of a catered breakfast, his tray is slid under the bars to sit, getting cold, until such time as he deigns to arise.
Do his lawyers speak to him before he spews on T.V./Radio/twitter, etc.? Would it even matter?
Trump lawyer: Now Donald, you can’t say or type this, this, or this.
Trump: I can do whatever I want.
Trump lawyer: you’re giving ammunition to the prosecution Donald.
Trump: I can do whatever I want.
You just know this is how it goes if his attorneys even bother to tell him anything.
