Just amazing that the dumbest case against Trump is the only one that is actually going to go to trial before the election (assuming there isn't some last minute legal Calvinball that gets ol' Trumpy out of this jam)

Ynglaur posted:You tell him "no.". If one of my customers asks me to do something illegal or unethical I say "no.". It's actually not hard. gently caress the lawyers representing Trump who are willfully and unethicallly filing frivolous lawsuits. Nobody is making them do it. They are choosing to act unethicallly. This is the quality of legal representation he can get. Still have splinters in their asses from the bottom of the barrel. Thhis. Hieronymous Alloy posted:That's the thing! Normally people dumb enough to pull this poo poo are also dumb enough to do that, but he isn't! And then he keeps finding lawyers who are dumb enough to work for him after all!

So Trump going for a hail Mary fire his lawyers just before the trial to create more delays. Would that work and would his lawyers suggest it?

Scapegoat posted:So Trump going for a hail Mary fire his lawyers just before the trial to create more delays. Would that work and would his lawyers suggest it? Pretty sure no. Judges don't like obvious stalling tatics like that. Plus he's has a whole bunch of lawyers working diffrent cases for him. Judge would probably point out he could of swapped out lawyers at any time if he was unhappy. He has moved lawyers from one case to another before, so he knows it's an avaliable option.

Don’t lawyers have to ask for leave of the court to stop representing clients, and the judge can (and do) refuse?

The Bible posted:Yeah, it sure would annoy the courts if Trump started constantly abusing obvious stall tactics. Not really. He's gotten some small delays out of basically waiting until the last second and then loving up. But doing stuff that is JUST a plain stalling tactics isn't going to be tolerated. Chances are if he dropped his lawyer he'd just be told to find one, but no delays. EDIT: This originally said "He's gotten away with it before, the judges just take it."

DTurtle posted:Well, the question is just how many people need to not want a democracy anymore in order to eliminate it. Is it 50% of the voters in a single election? 50% of the voting eligible population? 50% of the population? 66% of all of those? 75%? Maybe only over multiple election cycles? Majorities in all or a majority or a supermajority of states, districts, whatever? Not voting when eligible - barring factors like voter suppression - is not "None of the Above", it's "Oh I don't care, whatever you guys decide". It's annoying when it's deciding where to go to lunch, it's infuriating when it's elections. Not making a choice is still a choice.

State prosecutor to investigate Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in Trump case quote:State prosecutor Pete Skandalakis said Thursday that he will lead the investigation into Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ alleged role in trying to help former President Donald Trump overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. This is the guy that Fanni Willis was disqualified from prosecuting because she'd led a fundraiser for his opponent in the last election. There's more at the link with the full background.

Nah, he can’t prove what a perfect blameless angel he obviously is when every court in the land is a kangaroo banana republic run by deep state commie-nazi antifa judges (including those appointed by Trump). This is also why nothing he might admit to in court while under oath can change his supporters minds, because the courts are so corrupt and illegitimate and evil that defying them is the only decent thing to do.
