Offering good legal advice to Donald Trump is like offering MILF porn to Jared Fogle

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/06/14/trump-indictment-classified-documents-settlement/

Trump rejected lawyers’ efforts to avoid classified documents indictment

The former president was not interested in attempting to negotiate a settlement in the classified documents investigation, three people briefed on the matter said.

The Washington Post
@Popehat seems remiss for WaPo not to mention that Fitton is not a lawyer and otherwise has no legal training, he’s just a crank

@Techronic9876 In the course of negotiations over the return of the documents, President Trump told the lead DOJ official, ‘anything you need from us, just let us know.’ Sadly, the weaponized DOJ rejected this offer of cooperation and conducted an unnecessary and unconstitutional raid on the President’s home in order to inflict maximum political damage on the leading presidential candidate.

Just complete lies in the first section of the article. News still has no idea how to cover trump. Awful.

@NBAnthony2k @Techronic9876
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post but the quote you posted is a quote from Trump's crony. The crony is the one who is lying.

@Lonemind @Techronic9876

I know, and WaPo just brazenly repeats it in the opening section of their article. Absolute garbage reporting.

@Techronic9876 @Popehat What's the difference from Trump's hired lawyers?
@Popehat just learned that Fogle went full sovcit in prison, so yeah, the parallel holds surprisingly well
@gsuberland @Popehat Sovereign citizen? Oh dear
@MattFerrel @gsuberland @Popehat Sovcit’s are wonderful in courtrooms. It’s like watching a live production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.
@Popehat such a great simile, well done really
@Popehat This seems to be a standard GOP strategy: "It didn't work the first 60 times, let's keep doing more of the same, because this time it will work for sure!"
@cormac @Popehat
Repeat the lie often enough...
@Popehat oh that’s HARSH. Justifiable, mind you… but the target will need a burn ward. 👏🏻

@Popehat Not knowing anything about the law, I still think he’d be much better off with a public defender than the collection of deranged monkeys he usually “hires” (that’s a word that assumes they’re getting paid.) Of course, there’s always…

HEY KID, GOT YOUR DEGREE YET?

@pablor @Popehat

Remember this kid? He's now Trump's legal team.

"I NEED YOU TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL"

@Popehat
❝Trump’s unwillingness to give the documents back did not surprise those who knew him well. Former White House chief of staff John F. Kelly said that he was particularly unlikely to heed requests from people or agencies he disliked.

“He’s incapable of admitting wrongdoing. He wanted to keep it, and he says, ‘You’re not going to tell me what to do. I’m the smartest guy in the room,’” Kelly said Tuesday.❞

This is what I've been saying all along.
@Popehat Uh oh may be going to need a pornsplainer.
@darryl_ramm @Popehat MILF = Mom I'd Like (to) F****. Basically sexy housewives.

@RobinBobcat @darryl_ramm @Popehat

Fogle has been convicted of possession of child porn, so Ken is implying that the former Subway spokesman would reflexively reject porn depicting mature women in the same way the former president rejects legal expertise.

@Popehat Works as a Matt Gaetz joke as well.

@Popehat I too believe the best legal advice comes from people with no relevant legal knowledge:

@MattFerrel @Popehat
This makes a lot of sense.

Some 8 billion non-lawyers typing randomly are inevitably going to produce the best legal advice along with a lot of non-best-legal-advice.

@MattFerrel @Popehat "I'm not a lawyer but I play one on the internet."
@Popehat I just want to see his narcissistic collapse on trump social “I NEVER EVEN WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE!”
@Popehat
Me: Why would anyone agree to work for Trump? Surely they know he’s not going to pay them.
WaPo: “Kise, a former solicitor general of Florida who was paid $3 million upfront to join Trump’s team… “
Me: Ah.
@Popehat You owe me a coffee and a new white Oxford.
@Popehat that's... quite a metaphore
