Yet another example of Trump burying himself. I guarantee that the prosecution will use this exchange against Trump.

His attorneys must be irked. One of the worst kind of clients to have is one with a little knowledge but a lot of arrogance.

And he wonders why top lawyers won’t take him as a client.

At least he is being honest about what he was thinking at the time.

Trump told the truth. Not supposed to do that.

At what point does this cross the line to narcissism? Asking for a friend.

“At least he is being honest about what he was thinking at the time.”

Exactly. But later on, as the evidence mounted of election fraud he changed his mind on the matter.

Right.

I thought his entire defense rested on the idea that he was acting on the advice of counsel?

For many people that line will never be crossed.

You don’t what’s true and what isn’t, but some of his aides will be used to testify against Trump, from what I’ve read, they told him before the election and election when he was still in the lead that he was going to lose.

Other aides and Trump developed a strategy to claim victory while he was ahead and before the results were announced, in order to create chaos and then fight in court to get declared the winner.

Oh, bull. Trump didn’t respect the people telling him he lost. Instead, he followed the advice of people he did respect, lawyers who agreed the election was stolen. Anyone who lists Lawrence Tribe as a legal source is too stupid to make an argument.

I believe the following:

1. Every charge against Trump is nonsense. I'm not saying he didn't do these things, but to be indicted is ridiculous. Democrats do the same things and are never indicted. All charges should be dropped.

2. If Trump is convicted of any of these charges it will be his own fault. He's literally destroying his own defense by doing these interviews and talking about ongoing cases.

3. This man should never be allowed near the White House again.

Interesting statement. How did you arrive at this conclusion?

Come on. He accepted the lawyers counsel from the lawyers who agreed with him.

Give me a break.

If I’m innocent, I seek out an attorney who will help me, not one who thinks I should plea bargain.

Steve Bannon for one said that was the plan.

The premise that Trump lost in a fair & honest election is total BS, and any consultant, lawyer that stated otherwise is FOS.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Trump restating the facts of the day. And anyone that threatens his Constitutional Right to say so should be criminally prosecuted.
