Trump Has Very Bad Lawyers

For some reason at the bottom of his presidential immunity appeal Trump's lawyers included an amicus from a sovereign citizen in Texas https://t.co/7wQ5KseLPQ pic.twitter.com/ABg2ZcoRxM

That’s just so I’m not accused of burying the lede.

From DC Circuit's opinion on the gag, here's a description of how radical Trump's stance is. https://t.co/CLxR0mXr8u pic.twitter.com/VEfq7dPhuI

As I’ve said, the quality of the legal argument matters.  (At least if you’re not stroking one of Alito’s erogenous zones.)

Maybe he needs to get James Comer to help him:

Comer: My concern is that he indicted Hunter Biden to protect him

Tapper: Ahh yes, he indicted him to protect him

Comer: This whole thing has been about a coverup

Tapper: He indicted him to cover it up? pic.twitter.com/ws5XIRwes1

No, I’m serious. Alina Habba couldn’t top that:

Let me be very clear: I discouraged the former president from getting on a stand with a gag order," she said. "I would never discourage the former president from testifying." 

She continued: "Because honestly, our plan up until now was to have him testify, and he should testify. He always wants to testify and he should testify and when he has nothing to hide it's the best thing you should do is to put this great witness on and he's going stand up and tell you the truth."

That makes as much sense as Comer:

So, according to Comer, the President indicted his own son on tax evasion charges to coverup a $5 million dollar payout to the President?

A payment that there is no evidence of?

And that somehow insulates Hunter from prosecution because he's being prosecuted? pic.twitter.com/n30M6x662w
