Those Appeals Won’t Pay For Themselves

WWJoeBidenDo? Or should JBD? Like this? Sunday was yesterday, right? So, what was the question again? And how many people are on Twitter following this, anyway?

In other news, Trump’s lawyers suck.
  There are procedural reasons why this is way too little, way too late.
In his letter, dated March 8, Merchan notes the deadline for motions in limine — or those seeking to ban specific evidence or arguments from being presented in court — had passed on Feb. 22. 
"Defendant does not explain the reason for the late filing," Merchan writes, "a mere two and a half weeks before jury selection is set to begin." 
He gives Bragg's office until March 13 to respond. 
Merchan then demands both sides ask permission before filing any more pretrial motions and those requests be no longer than a single page.
Again, this is how trials are conducted . Not by throwing shit at the wall. I still don’t think Trump’s lawyers are any good, or are going to reverse Trump’s losing streak.

And in other legal news:
You have to assume Trump’s lawyers are at least that competent. Well, so long as Habba isn’t cross-examining this witness. One can understand why Trump doesn’t want this case tried before the election, and it’s not just so he can pardon himself. Yeah, this is not going to end the way Trump thinks it will. Again: Trump can’t fund a Presidential campaign and four criminal cases/trials (there’s nothing says he can’t be in criminal court on the first Tuesday in November) and three appeals and a half-billion dollar appeal bond, making it four appeals. All while his company goes out of business waiting for that appeal to be heard and resolved. Not the flex he thinks it is. ETTReallyDoesD. 😎
