Since people are talking about how Jack Smith is focusing on lawyers, reupping piece from [👀] January noting how--at that point--at least 25 lawyers were subjects or witnesses.

At every stage this has provably added time to the investigation.

@emptywheel I don't know who coined this phrase, but it's apt: "MAGA - Making Attorneys Get Attorneys."

And on a related note, a disproportionate number of Trump's lawyers have been prosecuted, disciplined by their state bars, or sanctioned by judges. The common theme is that they sell their souls and become as corrupt as their client.

@CarlG314 @emptywheel I believe it was @gtconway3d that coined the phrase. Not sure if that is really him over here. His ghost might know though! @gtconway3dg
@Ltrtab4447 @CarlG314 @emptywheel @gtconway3d also FYI: @gtconway3d is not George's account - if George joins mastodon, it will be on the corgis.social instance
