Behold the lawyer who has to make his case in court, not to a bunch of Trump supporters or legal pundits.

“The former president, your client, was lashing out against him," Bash said. "And the former president said that the judge hates him and was handpicked by the DA for this case for that reason. Are you going to ask for a different judge?" 

"We are going to take the indictment, evaluate all our legal options, and pursue everyone most vigorously," Tacopina stated. "This is a case of political persecution." 

"But let's talk about the judge," Bash pressed. "Will you ask for a different judge?" "You know, I have no issue with this judge whatsoever," the attorney replied. "Your client does," Bash observed. 

"Well, my client has a right to have an issue with everything," Tacopina snapped. "He's been politically persecuted. Make no mistake about that, Dana." 

"So you don't believe this judge is biased?" Bash asked. 

"I have no reason to believe this judge is biased," the attorney stated. "I've not been before him on this matter. So we have to let this process play out."

Now he’s going to court. Actions have serious consequences there.
