    Charging a criminal is weaponization of the justice system? Hell, even Barr said it was an easy case to charge. Just quit with that bs

    I always thought that it was the role of the DOJ to hold persons who openly flaunt the law to account for their behavior. If you consider that "weaponization" then weaponization is a real positive. By the way will you feel the same way if Hunter Biden is indicted especially consider the crimes that Hunter may have committed pale into insignificance compared with the crimes to which Trump has actually admitted.

    will he be able to delay if he can't find an attorney willing to represent him?

    setting up an appeal due to ineffective counsel?

    "None of us want to work for the guy": "Nightmare client" Trump can't find a new Mar-a-Lago lawyer (msn.com)

    Former President Donald Trump is struggling to find a new Florida attorney to represent him ahead of his Tuesday arraignment in Miami in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation.

    Trump has been turned down by multiple attorneys, according to The Messenger, and NBC News' Ken Dilanian reported that if the former president cannot find someone by Tuesday, "the arraignment may have to be postponed." "The surrender and first appearance will happen regardless," he tweeted.

    The Guardian's Hugo Lowell reported that Trump will spend Monday meeting with potential attorneys but is currently expected to be represented by his New York lawyer Todd Blanche and Florida attorney Chris Kise, who was reportedly sidelined last year after urging Trump to calm tensions with Justice Department investigators.

    Trump is also represented by Linsdsey Halligan, an inexperienced Florida attorney he hired last year during another stretch when he struggled to find prominent attorneys to represent him. "No offense to Ms. Halligan but this is an Espionage Act prosecution of a former president," tweeted national security attorney Bradley Moss. "The idea an insurance lawyer will have to take point on this right now is simply unacceptable."

    Chris Kise has signed on to represent Trump - competent attorney, though I do not know if he has NatSec case experience and requisite clearances.

    On another note, I wholeheartedly approve of this tweet, not the least of which is because it is from a good friend. But is there any doubt that DT would open a casino in Havana under the current government? He would sell out in a second, even agree to more political repression.

    of particular note:

    “In recent weeks, the special counsel’s office has also shown interest in several members of Trump’s post-election legal team who promoted baseless claims of widespread voter fraud, including his former lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, as well as former Justice Department appointee Jeffrey Clark, who tried to help Trump’s push to use the Department of Justice to overturn the election.”

    So when will Trump be indicted in Georgia? That was the most egregious thing he's done, IMO.

    It’s possible. He’s probably lying (since this dude literally lies about everything), but it’s not outlandish like if he said he had 100 career holes in one.

    7 is definitely at least “doable” with how much golf he plays.

    The comments are comparing him to PGA tour record holders, but those are their official stats from events. Im sure those guys all have like 2x more of you count practice rounds and unofficial events.

    PGA pro McIlroy just got his first, because it's so easy. Of course the hack Trump has 7 :rolleyes:
