You just can’t make this stuff up
The title is “old hat[1]” at this point because outrageous events keep happening in the Trump sphere. Remember Christina Bobb?[2] You know, one of Trump’s attorneys. She’s the attorney that signed paperwork saying that there weren’t any more classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and represented him over the FBI taking the documents after serving a search warrant. Then she represented Trump in District Court. Well, she now says that she wasn’t his lawyer.[3] I kid you not.
Before joining the Trump Administration Bobb worked as a Marine Corp Judge Advocate. After she left the Administration, she was a talking head for rightwing OAN at one point and now she’s with the rightwing media outlet RSBN as a reporter/commentator/talking head. She was active in promoting the Big Lie and numerous attempts to overturn the election. Then she lawyered for Trump and was a fav on Fox News. Well, maybe not.
I’m going to hazard here that the DOJ is going to treat her like she was a lawyer and want to talk to her a LOT more about attesting to the fact that there were no more classified documents in Trump’s possession at Mar-a-Lago. Now if it turns out that she has just been impersonating being his lawyer all this time that really isn’t going to make things better for her. I do believe at this point that she can make a pretty good case for impersonating a lawyer.
Lucy! You got some ‘splainin to do!
Where are the lawyers?
Politics Girl[4] asked a good question in one of her videos.[5] She asked where Trump’s good lawyers were. It’s a fair question. The one lawyer in Florida that made Trump shell out a cool $3 mil up front to head up his legal team isn’t (so far) working the case before the Florida District Court of Aileen Cannon.[6] So far he’s a stealth lawyer. The other lawyers don’t make up what would normally be called a powerhouse team.[7] Why doesn’t the former President have one of those huge Ivy League firms with hundreds of lawyers at their disposal representing him? Perhaps he can’t afford them.
Some of the answer may reside in the reidentified acronym MAGA to mean Make Attorneys Get Attorneys. A number of Trump’s previous lawyers have had charges filed against them with various Bar Associations to be sanctioned for their worthless filings in court. Sidney Powell had one of my favorite excuses when she proffered that “No reasonable person would conclude that the statements were truly statements of fact,” in a court filing over one of her many fantasyland allegations.[8]
What will Trump do next?
