No! Bad Lawyer! Bad!

Listen now (48 mins) | Jack Smith wants to know about Rudy Giuliani's drinking; Sidney Powell makes a few good points, alas; Judge Tanya Chutkan faces difficult choices if Trump tries to skip his own trial.

Court upholds Michael Avenatti's conviction for plotting to extort up to $25 million from Nike

A federal appeals court has upheld disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti’s conviction for plotting to extort up to $25 million from shoe giant Nike – one of several legal messes that have landed him behind bars

@Popehat this is good. Quite good. But now I can’t stop hearing “DasannnyyyBoyyy…”

Hey there Mastodonians,

For personal family reasons I'd rather not get into, I need help digging up dirt on three "buy gold/silver" companies.

They are 100% rightwing crazies. That isn't the issue. I am looking for dirt: scams, fraud, criminal histories, angry customers-- whatever you can dig up.

They are:
- ITM Trading (owner: Craig Griffin)
- GoldCo (Hannity affiliation)
- KirkElliottPhd dot com

I'm most concerned about Elliott "phd" because he claims 27 yrs experience, yet seems to have no real past beyond a certain point. He has SEO'd the fuck out of search engines. I think he might have changed his name at some point. Also, this Elliott is the one that a certain elderly, poor person is most eager to hand over all of her money to... SOON. Like, he has them hooked and excited and ancy. They can hardly wait to throw their money away.

PLEASE boost. I'm really racing the clock on this one.

@Popehat On the nose. This Holmes garbage is really a massive failure of editorial competence.
@Popehat You must have just finished recording an episode.....😂
@Popehat This brings me a special sort of joy. I can imagine the joy for you when you hit send. Just sublime
Watching all the folks who signed up for Mastodon accounts, and then ran back to Twitter suddenly showing up here again to talk about how Twitter is down. 😂
@MDaware he's fumbling about, but I think he might be listening.
@Popehat What a thread. holy smokes. I wish I could respond to all of those folks who don't personally know MAGA hat wearing folk. I know lots. they are basic. they are tribal. they are not deep. they are not racist or hateful. they are SIMPLE. church-going. they are unaware of all that we see in trump and trumpism. TOTALLY UNAWARE.
