And promptly left a hole 🕳 in the ground.Two weeks later, Trump just filed a Motion for Judicial Review. No documents yet. https://t.co/tvesRg5fas

I would sggest Mr. Stedman's thread for more information. No, Trump is not acting pro se. Yes, he might as well be.Whew sure was good to get this week’s Serious Trouble with @jbarro and @sarafay recorded early. Took care of the backlog, nothing big on the horizon, I’ll just take a big sip of coffee and open Twitter to see https://t.co/amm1HGu0s8

Yeah, the problem is, Trump doesn’t have lawyers who understand what Kerr is talking about.Trump's motion argues that the Mar-A-Lago warrant was overbroad under the 4th Amendment. Putting aside the procedural problems with raising that issue now, he's wrong on the merits, as I explained here. https://t.co/Pmgq7FzEU1

Florida prosecutor: Trump's new lawsuit is a 'delay tactic' — and bound to fail https://t.co/9A44P4Vomq

This looks like a delay tactic, especially because they specifically request a pause in the investigation in this motion," said Aronberg. "I don't think they're going to get it. This is what happens when you have trouble finding experienced criminal defense lawyers to represent you. You end up litigating your case on right-wing media instead of the courtroom while the clock runs out."Here's a briefer analysis:
Also, if I DID take two weeks to file it, with the greatest respect, it wouldn't look like this. This is just bad.

Finally, I think it's fair to say I don't have a LOT of shame, but I have enough that I wouldn't file a motion arguing that my client took an official legal position the court should have noticed on Truth Social.

I mean this is shitty on every level. It's shitty strategy, shitty lawyering, shitty writing, shitty organization. It's even shitty as propaganda. It's just incompetent.

Tl;dr:Seriously tho if an associate drafted this motion I wouldn't fire them. That would be cruel. I would kill them and then dump their body in that service elevator lobby where we leave boxes sometimes

A few concrete examples to help us out:I know I am kind of obsessing about this but this is my area and this is historically and flamboyantly incompetent and surreal. Like imagine you love football and it's the Super Bowl and it's kickoff and the kicker whips out a javelin and kills the mascot and yells FOOT FAULT

This sentence is a confession to a violation of the Espionage Act.

I could really go on like this all night.BREAKING!!!

This is a bozo argument.
For one, Trump APPEARS to be ceding his attorney-client claim.
Instead, he's arguing Executive Privilege.
But ... know where EP docs belong? The Archives.
Another confession to a crime. pic.twitter.com/DHtwjoBMlX

This is gonna be fun.New Trump Florida filing opens a wide door for DOJ to walk through: AG Garland can now “speak in its filings” and address all the factual lies and misrepresentations.
