Cross-exam today!
What we learned from the Fani Willis / Nathan Wade case is that retainers to lawyers are put in an IOLTA account, essentially an escrow account where the client's money is held until the lawyer invoices the client for performed work. The lawyer is then permitted to transfer the invoiced amount from the IOLTA into their personal account as earned income.
We also learned from Nathan Wade that he routinely billed Fani Willis a monthly amount of $35,000 (his monthly cap), which was supported by a minimally detailed set of invoices.
The point is that the client, when writing the check for the retainer as "legal expenses," does not know at the time what those legal expenses will be; a retainer is for future work, not work previously performed.

Yes.
Bryon Donalds, R Congressman Fla. ... Needs to be in Trumps Administration.
Press Secretary? Make him the face of the Trump administration to the press every day.

An excellent choice, and first black male press secretary.

Would be perfect!
Or, Chief of Staff
Any chance of those two actions amounting to anything different than the judge rejecting both those motions?
If he had more experience not a bad choice for VP.
Bottom line...Cohen, more likely than not, expected one check for almost half a mil. Trump's protectors said that's not gonna happen. Take care of it.
Cohen said retainer...not Trump.
Isn’t it strange that both Wade and Cohen used the $35,000 amount?? Coincidence?? Or is there something that we don’t know. Kinda like the banks if you have a transaction over $10,000??
Cohen could have been on a retainer for years...and he probably was.
Fox has Biden on. He is blattering about the economy. Someone better put some periods in those sentences or he is going to black out for lack of oxygen.
This is a 20 minute speech done in 10.
It’s a throw everything at the wall and see what sticks kind of case. Problem is, spaghetti doesn’t stick.
Gut tells me the same. I’m now 50-50, either hung jury or conviction. I don’t think outright acquittal is in the cards, not with a Manhattan jury.
It always does. She’s right.
LOLOLOL Love LeoTerrell!
And offers no proof, just the word of a convicted liar vs President Trump’s
Thanks!
