Donald Trump’s legal team gets shakeup as two top attorneys resign after indictment
New York Post ^ | Friday, June 9, 2023 | Emily Crane and Josh Christenson

Posted on 06/09/2023 10:27:04 PM PDT by linMcHlp

However, former Trump attorney Tim Parlatore told The Post Friday that [Todd] Blanche’s hiring may present “a conflict,” given that the lawyer is also representing Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn, who was reportedly grilled by prosecutors from special counsel Jack Smith’s office in April.

One Trump attorney was threatened with denial of a judgeship. I don’t know what deal or threat was made with these two.

LOL. He was talking about “your current antagonist” - that would be the guy you were fighting with, in plain English.

We need completely new representation in our federal government.
A clean house and then a pruning to rid us of this onerous dead wood effect killing our tree of liberty.

From the Conservative Treehouse article:

The granular news.  You might have heard that two of Trump’s lawyers, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, quit today.  The media wants to use their exit as a point to indicate Trump is in legal jeopardy; however, that’s not the case.

As soon as Trusty and Rowley saw their forced testimony was used in the indictment, they had no option except to exit the case.  Despite the lawyers providing no damaging information against Trump, the DOJ used language in the indictment to turn Trump’s lawyers into material witnesses. Weissmann’s Lawfare tactic create a conflict, forcing the two Trump lawyers to depart.

WASHINGTON DC – Two of Donald Trump’s top lawyers abruptly resigned from his defense team on Friday, just hours after news broke that he and a close aide were indicted on charges related to their handling of classified documents.

Jim Trusty and John Rowley, who helmed Trump’s Washington, D.C.-based legal team for months and were seen frequently at the federal courthouse, indicated they would no longer represent Trump in matters being investigated and prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith, who is probing both the documents matter and efforts by Trump to subvert the 2020 election.

The resignations were shortly followed by an announcement from Trump himself confirming that a close aide, Walt Nauta, had also been indicted by federal prosecutors. Nauta, a Navy veteran, had served as the former president’s personal aide and was a ubiquitous presence during his post White House days.

In their place, Trump indicated that Todd Blanche — an attorney he recently retained to help fight unrelated felony charges brought by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg in April — would lead his legal team, along with a firm to be named later. Trump and his team have liked Blanche, who is expected to play a more elevated, central role. (more)

Weissmann, Eisen and Smith are using lawfare in the indictment to put the interests of Trump and his aide Walt Nauta against each other.   Obviously, Nauta would not turn on Trump, so the prosecution made Nauta a target for a federal 1001 charge of lying to investigators and will pressure him throughout the case to take a plea in exchange for testimony against Trump.   Nauta is the baseline of the “Conspiracy Elements” which require two or more people.  Again, pure Lawfare.

Did they actually resign or are they not permitted to practice in Florida because they’re not licensed in Florida?

That came up last night on some streaming I was doing.

The lawyers for 2020 election stuff were all doxxed and threatened and their families too so they quit.

We’re well into a communist takeover and commies don’t play nice.

Now isn't this just quite the doom and gloom thread.

Donald Trump's legal team gets shakeup as two top attorneys resign after indictment
New York Post ^ | Friday, June 9, 2023

Good timing. The Chumash began with the 85-letter "misplaced" passage about the Ark of the Covenent. Famous. It's bookended by the reversed nuns ["נו"ן הפוכה"]*

Same that was on President Trump's birthday in 1946.

Eze 37.11 Then he said to me, son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off:

"______, thy name is ______" is a snowclone used to indicate the completeness with which something or somebody (indicated by the second part) embodies a particular quality (indicated by the first part), usually a negative one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thy_name_is

"Venahafoch hu", thy name is Trump.

Redemption by Reversal

The history of history repeating:

History Repeating

Variations on the repeating-history theme appear alongside debates about attribution. Irish statesman Edmund Burke is often misquoted as having said, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” Spanish philosopher George Santayana is credited with the aphorism, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” while British statesman Winston Churchill wrote, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Lessons from the past may not always ward off doom, but they can provide insights into the present and even the future.

"Yeah, well history's gonna change." ~ Marty McFly

Who knew that not learning from history can cause it to repeat. Everybody knows that. Handy!

Exo 14

10. And when Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were very afraid; and the people of Israel cried out to the Lord:
11. And they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? why have you dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt:
12. Is not this the word that we did tell you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness:
13. And Moses said to the people, Do not fear, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will show to you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again:

Then Moses... cut the Red Tape and led everyone right across. EZ

Cruising through dictionaries for a long while now (it's a lonely road paradoxically filled with words), I learned some time back that the Hebrew word for a key [מַפְתֵחַ] is spelled the same way as a developer (of film, software, real estate) [מְפַתֵּחַ], and pronounced rather similarly (vowels included for comparison).

The root is patach, meaning to open, in case anyone might be interested. It's an informative list, running right down to:

פִּתֵּֽחַ adj. PBH possessing the faculty of sight, not blind. [From פתח ᴵ. For the form cp. פִּקֵּחַ.]

Completing a construction project can take years of in-depth planning and execution, and when finished, the question remains: how do you celebrate new architecture? Ribbon cuttings are ceremonies used by many around the world to inaugurate the opening of a brand new or newly renovated building or business.

They are most often used for the following:

https://perlo.biz/the-history-and-importance-of-ribbon-cutting-ceremonies

Because ceremonial events [are] managed by the owner, there are no set rules. Your remarks may be very short to extravagant and utilizing multiple speakers.

Below is a basic basic script for an owner:

Welcome to ________! Today we celebrate the grand opening of our _______ business. We are so thankful to so many of you, who have been with us every step of the way, so that this day would finally come. My name is __________, and I am the owner of ___________.

I would like to introduce a few special persons to you (may include anyone you want like family members, employees, dignitaries, elected officials, etc.).

Next on our agenda is the ribbon cutting ceremony, which will be followed by a tour or opening of our facility (which can be either guided by a member of your staff, or self-guided if your time is limited.)

Instructions:
Assemble the persons you want in the photo. Two persons will hold the stretched ribbon, the owner or other persons will then pose for a picture behind the ribbon. Make sure the scissors are open, to make it appear the ribbon is about to be cut. This is your opportunity to take several pictures (before cutting the ribbon). Then simply cut the ribbon after all the pictures are taken.

Let us now cut the ribbon.

On behalf of __________ we would like to thank each of you for taking time out of your busy schedule today. Thank You.

Can you believe it? The name "EGYPT" comes from "the house of the ka (= koach, force/power) of Ptah" [פתח], which was Egypt's 'creator' god.

Then as the natural order goes, one of those letters does not get along (rhyme) with all the others. The "ka" glyph is represented by the same form, the "Y". D28 to be exact, with the added vertical line indicating use as a logogram

It's axiomatic that to remove the "Y" (ka, power) from EGYPT causes it to die. Yet nobody wonders Y?

D28 (koach כח = 28) is "two upraised arms". It's hard not to notice that it's the same as the meaning of Yehuda, to praise i.e. lift up the hands. What Leah said. Hand: yad [יד].

* Now for those who do not understand what a reversed nun is, Willie Nelson already explained it, but you'll have to make it to the end of his song, which is about change.

(Oh I forgot -- you don't think I'm funny anymore.)

The KEY to winning in Washington is unity. Something that is missing from the right side of the aisle. You can’t be RINO hunting every other day and expect to win anything.

Those days are long one. Reagan's Republican Party is a thing of the past. Why? Greed for one - a lot of politicians realized they could make bank even more so than politicians in the past.

Second is "the party must be purified". Look around - there are plenty of people that believe in addition by subtraction - and that such a party can attract voters. Look at the stupid comment that Lake made telling past McCain supporters to "get the hell out" of a campaign rally DAYS BEFORE the election. Like I said - stupid.

The Republican Party needs core principles going forward - because they have really lost their way in many respects. And one of those core principles is party unity.

...

Maybe they should have thought about that before they peddled Bush,Dole,Bush,McCain,Romney pre Trump

Trump exposed your Swamp party as co owners..

The only Core principal and campaign promise that needs to be center of the R team:
Drain the swamp
Obliterate the Deep State

Then everything else takes care of itself.,

The R team has ownership within both of those..

I can’t wait to see the R team Swamp and Deep State take their dirt naps.. I enjoyed Bush Sr and McCains.. I see them as traitors.

Unity within the co owned swamp is what birthed the likes of Trump..

Trump upset that unity of Swamp..

That’s been the core principal of your R party.
Good cop con to the D teams bad cop con..
Swamp first is a core principal in your R team thanks to the people your team peddled as Presidential timber pre Trump.

The Con is over..
Trump ruined it for your R team..

Your R team did it to itself..

That’s the price of having the core principal of ‘Swamp First’ vs America First

It took a former Democrat billionaire celebrity to ruin your swamp party..

All it took was the core principal of ‘America First’ and then actually following through with it...

Why didn’t the R team think of that?
