And it’s based on his “advice of counsel” defense

I hate the terminology of ‘prosecutor set a trap’ or ‘perjury trap’ if you remember when Mueller wanted to get Trump to testify under oath. It might be a trap in the sense of catching someone, but it gives off this sense of plotting and scheming to unjustly nab an unknowing innocent being that was just going about its business, like when you trap a rabbit or something.
It’s not a trap. Trump doesn’t have a good defense because he did do the thing he is accused of. A horseback cavalry charge against a machine gun isn’t “a clever trap by the machine gunner” one side just has the tools to win, and the other side doesn’t.
You’re right, the term dilemma would be better used here.
You’re right, but ambush would be better
Just came to the comments to say the same lol I love that aside from it being a checker piece, he’s somehow already down to just one even though smith only moved one pawn one space lol
Are you allowed to move a pawn just one space for its first move?
It’s extra funny if you view it with 4D glasses on

I was in civil court before and almost fucked up by submitting previous emails from a former lawyer of mine. Glad my attorney caught it and mentioned the shitstorm it would start.
What I don’t understand is how someone who has been dealing with lawsuits his whole life could be so stupid?

He has $40 million worth of legal advice, it’s not being stupid or uninformed. They’re giving the best possible defense, and it’s a very bad one.
Eh, he’s not exactly hiring the best lawyers. In any other situation the best law firms would be jumping at the chance to defend a former president, but due to past behaviour (not paying, not following advice, committing additional crimes, asking lawyers to commit crimes for him), he’s only hiring rubes and crazies.
If we could lock him up before election season really kicks in that would be great… otherwise I’m scared for our democracy.
Plot twist: he can still run (and be elected) from prison.

Won’t happen.
First Republican debate is 8/23. We won’t even have a trial date for the Jan. 6 stuff until 8/28.
Primary calendar is here:

Trump has 2 trial dates set so far, New York in March and Florida in May.
1st trial is 15 days after Super Tuesday.
2nd trial is before just a handful of states.
If you weren’t scared before, you haven’t been paying enough attention.

Just going to point out that convicting and jailing him does not disqualify him from holding office, and would likely just embolden his base.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA Trump knowing how to play checkers hahahahaha
His opponent playing chess, Trump has a single checker piece in play on his side. This thumbnail goes hard tbh.
Trick that I expect Trump to pull that the article doesn’t talk about:
Trump will pull presidential privilege, national security, or the ever popular “I don’t remember” when asked to explain details.
“I plead Covfefe”
