WATCH: Why did fmr. Pres. Trump threaten Georgia Sec. of State Raffensperger with a criminal charge? @chucktodd asks. Trump lawyer John Lauro: "That wasn't a threat at all. ... He was asking for [him] to get the truth. ... That was an aspirational ask."
@MeetThePress @chucktodd I actually heard Andrew Weissman say in @MSNBC that Lauro is “a good lawyer.” Sorry Andrew, this guy is anything but a good lawyer. He’s a bottom-feeding boor perfectly suited to defending tfg. They’re basically the same guy - they both lie and talk over everyone. 🙄
@SnowFairyToo @MeetThePress @chucktodd @MSNBC I agree he doesn't seem like a good lawyer, but there really is no defense for Trump's actions. I suspect when Lauro gets in court, he won't be so wild in his theories of free speech. He's testifying in the court of public opinion right now.
@SnowFairyToo @MeetThePress @chucktodd @MSNBC You must remember who he is representing.
@SnowFairyToo @MeetThePress @chucktodd @MSNBC Actually @NormOrnstein said the same thing I think. They practiced law together. Just shows as @TheRickWilson said Every Thing Trump Touches Dies. #ETTD Volume 2 may need to be written soon
@SnowFairyToo @MeetThePress @chucktodd @MSNBC He's had a long and credible reputation as a defense attorney with a major law firm, as compared to, say trump's traffic-court or parking-garage lawyers. He must think that tainting the jury pool is a worthwhile effort.
@SnowFairyToo @MeetThePress @chucktodd @MSNBC He actually was a good lawyer with a pretty good reputation. His biggest mistake so far is taking on Trump as a client. The greatest lawyers out there have trouble defending the indefensible. He’s not there to improve his reputation, he’s there for the payday.
@SnowFairyToo @MeetThePress @chucktodd @MSNBC You know what they say: #ETTD
