Column: Jack Smith's latest push to get Donald Trump's Jan. 6 trial moving before the election
The special counsel urged the Supreme Court to let the case proceed as soon as possible rather than delaying it for theoretical questions about presidential immunity.
"Given the importance of the trial schedule, the key practical question is whether the court focuses solely on Trump’s case or endorses immunity in other instances. Smith’s gambit is a fallback that would let the court order the trial to proceed even if its opinion extends to broader principles of immunity."

That would be some serious abracadabra shit if he pulls this off.
David Blaine, watch out!
I wanna know: How the ever living fuck does Trump get the apparently best, dirtiest lawyers that get him out of everything when he’s famous for never paying his lawyers? Wtf?
Ghouliani is about to not only be homeless, but get strung up and do hard time because if Trump. And he has multiple teams of new lawyers doing horrible things again for him now. HOW??
In this case the answer to your question is a crooked judge is helping trump
That’s also happening, but that’s a separate issue.
They're working for something better than money. Exposure! Don't you know working for such a big name will do better things for their career than money! At least, that's what they tell artists.
They are getting paid just not by this client.

I hear people die of exposure.

Maybe that's why people keep complaining about me exposing myself.
Before they’re swallowed up into the flaming pits of The Inferno, they’ll get a sweet gig as a talking head on Fox News and Newsmax for 9 months or so.
They're not the best, they are just flinging shit at the wall and the corruption is deep enough that the shit penetrates it and sticks. 'Like dissolves like' and all that, but with stickiness. I also seem to remember something about the recent ones have all been paid in advance.
Truthfully, his lawyers at this point are legitimately not good. Look at his defamation damages. These are not the best lawyers by a long way - those lawyers are keyed into his scheme to not pay them and also usually don't want to be associated with a completely unreliable client.
The last time he had good lawyers was probably the first impeachment. Now he's just coasting on delay tactics. It's working because it's worked for 70 years to threaten and delay. That actually does make people defensive, deferentially overcautious, and usually diminishes his liability. It will be a great day when that's no longer enough to hold back justice, but we're not there yet.
