Trump's attorney just stared at Trump while he blabbed his entire defense to the cameras

After court, Trump is out there bloviating to his own detriment. His attorney just watched him violate the gag order in his defamation of Cohen and as he laid out his entire defense. What a fucking idiot.

His lawyer’s expression reminded me of Dr. Birx when Trump talked about injecting bleach and shining lights up asses.

He's been violating that order from day 1. He should be in jail.

Oh, and he even defamed E. Jean Carroll again in his rant! He again claimed he never heard of her until she filed her lawsuit in Judge Kaplan's courtroom.

Trump cannot control his emotions

Personally, I do not think Trump will take the stand.

He does not like the gag order because he is trying to influence voters and the jury without cross examination.

word salad, and disconnected thoughts too.

He is mental.

They just get a lot of billable hours in. I think I saw where he was capping them at $750/hour, which is laughable for a defense attorney.

Top shelf attorneys get $7500 an hour and have hundreds of lawyers in their firms. These guys have a few at best, and a few legal assistants.

Habba seems to be the exception since she is getting pac money in addition to legal money. She must be getting a pr fee as well. or a future ex wife fee. something like that.

I was representing a woman, victim of domestic violence. We were set for a final hearing for a permanent restraining order.

But . . . . . she was terrified to be in the same room with her husband and refused to attend. She cried and shook.

My partner and I spent half a week, trying to get her prepared. She was finally ready. We had her repeat to us that she wasn't scared to be in the same courtroom with her husband.

So, we're in the courtroom. The judge asks our client the mandatory question of whether she was still scared of her husband. And to our horror and dismay, she answered clearly and boldly, "No, I'm not afraid of him!"

So the judge said, "Fine, the restraining order is not necessary. Adjourned!"

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

He’s stupid. He has no sense of protecting his own sensitive information or that of others. Anything he hears he can’t wait to bleat it out to the first stranger he sees. Better yet, into a microphone.

Has he never observed Trump? Does he not own a television?

I wonder if he watches Fox news and believed the propaganda.
