Devising Trump's Legal Strategy
WHEN ONE IS INVOLVED in as many lawsuits as Donald Trump is and always has been, you need at leaat one good lawyer, and more likely, several dozen or hundred. Trmp is paying millions of dollars in legal fees, probably using money sent to him for his righteous defense by his god fearing, Trump loving, pentecostal evangelical Christian MAGA cult members. He seems to be getting every penny's worth. His legal team has announced its "strategy" for defending Trump in his forthcoming trial for stealing and hiding classified documents. It has a familiar ring to it, for those with strong enough stomachs to follow Trmp and to pay atention to what he says, utters, and spews. He will play the victim! His lawyers will argue that this whole unseemly business about classified doceuments is nothing but a horrible conspiracy between President Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and special prosecutor Jack Smith, a conspiracy to "get Trump" by people who hate Trump. Amazing. Trump is paying these clowns millions of dollars, and that, it seems, is the best they can do. Play the victim card, with an outlandish conspiracy theory, of the type which only extreme rigt wing Trump supprters can. You'd think, with all that legal talent, they'd be able to concoct someething at least reasonably plausable...The same stratigy is being employed in one of the other numerous trials in which Trump is the defandant; the defamation lawsuit by the lady, or rather one of he many ladies, who claims Trump raped her.This is Doanld's second go around in this case; he was already found guilty of defamation once, and now, apparently will be a second time, since he brilliantly went right back to defaming her immediately after his first conviction. Go figure. (Trump describes himself as a "stable genius", remember?). His claim is that he never defamed anyone, and that the lady's entire story about first being raped by Trump and then defamed by him is bogus, a hoax, a lie. Trump will be tried for ninety one separate felonies while running for president, and the Americna people, may, just may, if a perfect storm of insanity ensues, elect him president in November. God, what a thought. Trump's defense, in all of these crimes with which he is justifiably accused, is that a vast left wing conspiracy, headed by Joe Biden and including the FBI, the diplomatic community, the deep state, and the Internal Revene Service is trying to bring him down simply because he is running for president. Good luck with that! The truth, obviously, is the opposite; Trump is running for president hoping desperately that he will win, and thereby be able to avoid further prosecution by some presumed, magical, "executive immunity". If he wins, Trump will pardon himself, issue an executive order declaring the president above the law, declare himself president for life, sign an executive order banning abortion, making Christianity mandatory, banning race studies, and prohibiting use of the term "socialism" in public. It will be that bad, if not worse. Fortunately, such a scenario remains highly unlikely. More likely is that Trump will do time, unless some idiot right wing president pardons him.
