Republicans are scared witless of the court case being heard before the election. Scared of sunlight, they want everything hidden until it's too late. Normal people would want a swift hearing so Trump can prove his innocence. I guess that they don't believe he's innocent either. The BS about the deep state and hoax charges are just paranoid reactions.

Hoax? Delusional! He can run, what are you on about? The court cases aren't about stopping him from running. The RNC will do that, wait and see. Who ya gonna blame then?

That's right. I misunderstood you.

They see the alternative and would vote for a drover's dog before him.

Dems do want Trump to run. They also want him jailed. There is no conflict there. They can't stop him running so what's the "let him run" thing all about?

Several prosecutors have come up with herds of facts. What are you talking about? TDS isn't a lefty thing.

Yeah, nah. I just don't like people who commit crimes against democracy and love Putin.

They're more likely to flee to Ukraine and surrender before they are killed. They don't want to join the Russian army to get a huge pay cut and become the new cannon fodder.

Think train crash.

To what end? What's in it for Putin to keep him alive in secret? Occam's razor. He dead.

As if the party of racism is going to elect an Indian? Or a black guy? Or a woman? Or a Latino? Trump will win the nomination by default.

No, he's lying because he always lies. How many regular viewers did he have on Fox? 2 million is very much struggling to stay relevant.

It's bad enough for Donald Trump that one of his co-defendants has reportedly flipped on him, now it turns out his lawyers could be constrained when questioning him under oath. Taveras was sharing a lawyer with defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira before being moved over to a public defender. When the witness spoke with a lawyer from the public defender's office, he realized his peril because he had previously lied in the grand jury. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-documents-lawyers-witness-problem/

That's right. He's obviously decided not to sell his house to pay legal fees which would have been the result had he either retained Trump's assigned lawyer or hired his own. Trump would have stiffed him. He's clearly made a plea deal in exchange for the truth and accepted a prosecution assigned lawyer. .

But in July, after being warned by prosecutors that he was a target of the investigation and after being advised that his lawyer might have a conflict of interest because of his representation of others in the probe, the witness received a new attorney from the federal defender’s office and provided the Justice Department with information that helped form the basis of the revised indictment against Trump, his valet Walt Nauta and a third defendant, Carlos De Oliveira, the court filing says. Prosecutors described the witness interaction in a filing that seeks a hearing in Florida about potential conflicts of interest involving the defense lawyer, Stanley Woodward, who also represents Nauta. Woodward declined to comment Tuesday to The Associated Press. “The target letter to Trump Employee 4 crystallized a conflict of interest arising from Mr. Woodward’s concurrent representation of Trump Employee 4 and Nauta,” prosecutors wrote. https://apnews.com/article/trump-maralago-justice-department-classified-documents-f3f498ed952e50a33c7c68e2fb1936e9

Are you sure? Does it make sense to you that a lawyer can represent two people who are at odds in any case, civil or criminal?

It's not courageous. He was simply warned what would happen if he was found guilty of lying to prosecutors unless he flipped and made a deal. As I said, not a difficult choice. edit: And joined in the conspiracy to obstruct.

Not if those clients are or have ever been adversaries. Only if they are co-defendants or prosecution witnesses. https://scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1903&context=hlr https://masslawyersweekly.com/2023/05/26/a-lawyers-loyalty-to-a-former-client/

It isn't allowed. The court would have rejected him. As previously alluded to a lawyer can't just change sides for a new case. His duty to any client lasts forever.

He must be aware that Trump stiffed many others on legal fees already. Caveat Emptor.

It's totally unethical. If a lawyer has ever represented an adversary he must withdraw. He was obviously told this.

Sell his house to pay legals because Trump won't come good, not even for Guliani. Or tell the truth and make a plea deal since he's already lied to the prosecution. Not a hard choice.

Oh, yeah, I see the reversal LOL.

Inflation in the US is far lower than any European nation and the trend is down.

Apparently, merely acknowledging their existence.
