Trump replaces top Georgia lawyer ahead of surrender - Lemmy.world

Former President Donald Trump has replaced his top Georgia lawyer ahead of his surrender Thursday evening, sources tell CNN. Drew Findling, the lawyer who has led Trump’s defense in Georgia, is being replaced by Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based attorney whose website profile describes him as a “special counsel for white collar and high-profile defense.”

No sure what the other lawyer had said but it looks like Trump just went with someone who says what he wants to hear.

“I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case. The president should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him,” Sadow said in a statement. “We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open minded jury finding the president not guilty. Prosecutions intended to advance or serve the ambitions and careers of political opponents of the president have no place in our justice system.”

“hopefully the case just goes away. But I guess I could try to somehow get a not guilty for him if we can stack the jury the Right way.”
Putting in appropriate effort for a job where the pay is exposure.
That exposure is gonna backfire- this case is basically a slam dunk.
God damn, do I want to live in the reality where bad press exists. Or have you not watched these exact assholes fail upwards for the last seven years?

There's a reason it took 2.5 years to bring charges, and it's not that multiple prosecutors were sitting on their ass twiddling their thumbs.

The reason it’s going to back fire is you know trump is going to throw them under the bus when there’s nobody else to toss.

They’re going to fail, and trump is going to blame them. And he’s going to let the world know it.

Oh no, the condemnation of a narcissistic felon.
