It’s startling the degree to which Trump’s lawyers have adopted whole hog his thuggish and dictatorial view of the presidency.
Trump’s lawyer starts off basically offering Trump’s threat to prosecute Biden if the case doesn’t go his way.
@chrislhayes He’s just a mob boss through and through….
@chrislhayes And how comfortable the court seems to be with hearing it.
@chrislhayes They wouldn't be his lawyers if they weren't willing to do exactly that.
@chrislhayes @bannerite But y'all knew about his track record. New Yorkers were screaming this to the country all along. But the sensationalism of a dogwhistling reality celebrity in the White House and the ratings distracted the networks.
@chrislhayes They have too in order to be able to sell it convincingly to the jury.
@chrislhayes His lawyers are "paid" to accept him and his faults and try to make them palatable to the public; it's his followers who amaze me. They never got anything from him and never will. Yet they follow him unquestioningly. 🤷🤷♀️
@chrislhayes In hopes of being paid. ETTD
