Can We Give Him Both? Too Dark?

Trump attacks prosecutors and judges on Thanksgiving: 'Give me freedom or give me death'https://t.co/Ec3ZCfUnHi

The Manhattan D.A. Case should never have been brought," Trump posted to his Truth Social website.

Although it sounds like one your lawyer (Alina Habba*) would use, (she’s an idiot): not a legal defense.

This case should be dismissed immediately, and the large, highly paid and 'prestigious' accounting firm that we relied on to do their job, but didn’t, should pay us a fortune in damages," Trump said.

Again, not a legal defense. You are free to sue Mazars, but that’s not a defense to the DA’s charges, either.

Two minutes later, he returned to Truth Social to post the quote, "Give me freedom or give me death."

Not technically a quote, since that’s not what Patrick Henry said. But also, Trump has freedom. He’s not going to lose it in the DA’s prosecution. That’s against Trump’s company, and his employee going back to when Trump’s father ran the business is the one likely to lose his freedom.

No concern for Mr. Weisselberg, though. Loyalty runs one way for you, huh?

*Exhibit A:

The words Trump lawyer Alina Habba uttered at the start of the day could be repeated by Trump’s legal team in every courtroom from here on out. 

“My client shouldn’t be in this position. We shouldn’t be in this court—and yet we are.”

Maybe your opening in a jury trial. Never before a judge in a hearing. It means you don’t have a legal argument.
