Correct. The State is laying out that no one would take the drat job because the pay sucks and the countless security issues.

Guess Team Trump is going to imply that Willis and Wade declined any "real" offer so they could enrich themselves?

When I hear about Wade making like 9k a month, that's chump change for any experienced attorney. First year associates at Big Law make that, and he'd be slotted in at a partner level in many firms. Everyone in that courtroom knows the compensation score, they're all attorneys so this line of attack is pretty laughable.

My son and I were just talking about how interesting it is that Navalny was assassinated now. Putin's had Navalny under his thumb for so many years now, a tacit example of crossing him but keeping him alive as a toothless threat. Killing Navalny now may indicate that things are worse due to the Ukraine War, maybe there are cracks in his leadership and he was afraid one of his ministers would start propping up Navalny and his opposition.

He almost died from that poisoning and must have had serious health complications afterwards.

He was living in absolutely horrible conditions.

And even if he was receiving medical attention, you can imagine the quality of care for anyone in a gulag is a sick joke.

He might just have died now from some combination of the above.

You'd be perfectly fair to still call that assassination too, just a slower one, Putin is still responsible. But the timing might be random.

gently caress yes. The State lawyer is asking Trump's lawyers questions for them because they know it would look super-bad to ask them of an elderly old man.

Why is that relevant? If the argument is he only made $9k a month and was paid a pittance—him making $325k a year in GA doesn’t track if that’s the argument.

That's for the entire business, which he had a partner. And the partners also did work for the DA. It's very muddied, which I think is intentional (by Team Trump). He also has an entire seperate client list which is still bringing in income. He also lost a ton of money from unbilled hours which Wade had to eat.

Do you think he's maybe wrong about other stuff?

Law firms aren't usually one person and even when they are just one or two people they still frequently sub out work, and they have expenses, so the notion that billed $ = 100% income is not likely to ever be true. What makes you think it's more than that?
