Trump’s lawyers should have raised the issue of Smith’s illegal appointment from the absolute beginning. Why didn’t they? Is it because they want to milk Trump’s pocketbook for ungodly hourly attorney fees or are they in on a scheme covertly with Jack Smith to screw Trump over?
What does it say about Trump that he chose the lawyers to represent him? He is his own worst enemy.
Never did a team of lawyers represent such a precisely targeted man of such a lofty prior federal political position under such constant and multifarious legal and political attack, so thoroughly baseless each one, in such an unjust, banana-republic atmosphere that seemingly swirled into such an oppressive existence so suddenly and so overwhelmingly.
You might want to consider cutting them a little slack if they failed to spot an issue or two.
I’m concerned. This one issue could stop this.
Or, raise it too early and the Dems have time to cure the defect. That may be why. In other words, sandbagging.
Timing is everything. [Possibility?] If they had raised the issue last year, Biden/Garland could have changed horses early on and the trial would have been able to be scheduled in 2024. Now if they raise the issue, its too late to get a new special prosecutor in there and have the trial this year.
I hope it isn't as simple as Trump's lawyers are incompetent.
Thank goodness we have your superior thinking to sort out the problem with the weaponized law
I mean Trump *always* picks the brightest/best there is, no? /s
They have brought it up. If you read closely they say that they hadn’t at the time this case went to appeal. That’s different than them saying they hadn’t ever.
