Trump's Troubles

he's consistent
“Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS. In fact, she would have been conflicted,”

So he can’t claim he relied on any legal advice from her at least.

 

Only suckers die for their country. Patriots profit.

 

Trump may be disqualified from the Colorado ballot on 14th amendment grounds. Normally, I would prefer to let the voters decide but I’m willing to make an exception in his case.

The flurry of rulings late Friday from Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace are a blow to Trump, who faces candidacy challenges in multiple states stemming from his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection. He still has a pending motion to throw out the Colorado lawsuit, but the case now appears on track for an unprecedented trial this month.

 

other than giving the NFT salesman something else to cry about, it is not relevant. He can't win CO. i guess it could affect other state rulings (?)

 

I'd think any state this passes is one he clearly wouldn't win anyway.

 

Nor would she be able to claim attorney-client privilege for not testifying.

 

the key point is that she was at the infamous overthrow planning meeting and was a direct witness.

 

The attorney client privilege applies if Trump consulted with her about the possibility of forming an attorney client relationship and revealed confidential information to her.

 

I'm seeing that the Powell outburst by Trump is less about 1/6 and more about the quid pro quo pardon of Michael Flynn.

 

While I think you raise a fair point generally (and I'm putting aside the crime/fraud exception to privilege for the sake of discussion), I'm not sure how much if anything what prosecutors want to get out of Powell will involve any communications which were arguably privileged. Let's take the December 18, 2020 meeting in the White House, for example, in which there was reportedly a group of people there, including aides and non lawyers, arguing about different theories and strategies. Anything Trump said or acknowledged in that meeting should be fair game IMO.

 

Was the reciprocity from Flynn that he just kept his mouth shut or was it something more. Honestly, there was so much blatant corruption and self-dealing in that administration I forget where one ends and another picks up.

 

I know the lawsuit is to prevent Trump from holding office by keeping him off the ballot list. But is it for the presidential race or does it include primaries as well. if primaries, then it does become a bigger issue for trump.

He may have a commanding lead in the Republican primary, but losing too many votes in states could impact who wins the Republican primary. Assuming primaries would be impacted.
