HUH? Trump’s Lawyer Accuses Special Counsel Jack Smith of ‘Scaring’ Mark Meadows Into Testifying

Posted by on June 8, 2023 at 11:59 am. 3 Comments :

As the walls close in around serial crime boss, Donald Trump, he and his lawyers are becoming ever more desperate and downright deranged in their response to the legal peril that he faces. Many analysts are predicting that the Grand Jury investigations are winding up and that indictments against Trump are imminent.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

For his part, Trump is exhibiting acute anxiety in the increasingly hysterical comments he’s posting on his floundering Twitter scam, Truth Social. He knows what he did, and he knows that special counsel Jack Smith and other prosecutors know as well. So he’s lashing out viciously as if that sort of impotent rage will frighten prosecutors into abandoning their lawful duty.

On Wednesday one of Trump’s remaining lawyers, Alina Habba, appeared on Newsmax to continue trying his case in the right-wing media. But her arguments were not only pitifully weak, they actually complimented Smith and the special counsel team. Newsmax host Carl Higbie began by raising the subject of Trump’s former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, potentially flipping on Trump…

Higbie: It comes out that Mark Meadows is actually working with the prosecution to essentially get a plea deal, to plead guilty to certain things that help the prosecution against Donald Trump. What?
Habba: Yes, That he has immunity. That’s what we’re hearing. It’s obviously news to me. I just learned it with you. But yeah, that’s what we’re hearing. He was granted immunity. So effectively, he would be a key witness against the president and give testimony in opposition of him. As we’ve seen time and time again. This is what they did to Allen Weisselberg in the D.A. case in New York. This is what they do time and again to anybody that is close to the Trump world, to president Trump. Because they have nothing. So they have to squeeze people, scare people, and intimidate them into testifying in the direction that they want. It’s very disturbing.

I’m sure that it is indeed “very disturbing” to the Trump team to have Trump’s closest aide testifying for the prosecution. However, there is nothing unusual or untoward about prosecutors employing legal tactics to persuaded witnesses to reveal what they know about criminal activity. In fact, it is rather common. The best witnesses are often those who are close to, or conspiring with, the accused criminals.

Offering immunity is an appropriate way of eliciting honest and candid testimony. It is not done when prosecutors have nothing. To the contrary, they must have something in order to trade leniency for testimony. And that testimony must be truthful or the whole immunity deal is canceled. So it would do no good for the witness to lie just to tell the prosecutor what he wants to hear.

What Habba is mischaracterizing as “squeezing and scaring people” is standard operating procedure for prosecutors. So in effect, she is complimenting the special counsel team for their effectiveness and fealty to the law, and to the American people who they serve.

For the record, the assertions by both Higbie and Habba that Meadows was offered and took a plea deal are the product of their imaginations. Meadows’ lawyer has adamantly denied that he took any plea deal. However he didn’t deny that Meadows was granted “limited immunity” in exchange for his testimony. But that alone was enough to terrify Trump, who raged that…

“No one has told me I’m being indicted … but I have assumed for years that I am a Target of the WEAPONIZED DOJ & FBI.” [and that it is] “A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE & ELECTION INTERFERENCE AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE. REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS MUST MAKE THIS THEIR # 1 ISSUE!!!”

That’s a pretty astute assumption on Trump’s part. However, it is preposterous to think that Republicans in Congress should make his legal tribulations their #1 issue. After all, they haven’t exhausted the “woke mind virus” yet. Trump later added that the “DOJ, FBI, NEW YORK A.G., NEW YORK D.A., ATLANTA D.A. FASCISTS ALL!” It’s amazing how many fascists Trump thinks have infiltrated the halls of justice in America. On the other hand, it may be time to increase the dosages of his meds.

Judge Trashes Trump’s Attorneys for ‘Deliberate Disregard for the Truth’ in Kooky Clinton Lawsuit

Posted by on November 11, 2022 at 10:24 am. 3 Comments :

The lunatic litigiousness of Donald Trump continues to provide unending hours of entertainment for court watchers who enjoy a good farce. Trump’s lawyers seem to be alumni of Barnum and Bailey’s Clown School of Law and Laughs. They are expert practitioners of the “Pie in the Face” doctrine of jurisprudence.

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton

Earlier this year Trump filed a spectacularly ludicrous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and nearly fifty other people who the suit describes as “her cohorts.” The suit alleged a conspiracy against Trump aimed at “destroying his life.” The list of defendants is itself a comedic exercise in extremist overreaching that includes Clinton, along with numerous Democratic operatives and FBI officials.

That lawsuit was pure paranoid bullpucky that any reputable lawyer – or fiction author – would be embarrassed to be associated with. And it was summarily was dismissed with the Judge ruling that Trump was “seeking to flaunt a two-hundred-page political manifesto outlining his grievances against those that have opposed him.”

On Thursday Team Trump suffered yet another legal humiliation. The judge presiding over the lawsuit sternly scolded Trump’s attorneys for presenting a case that was “either knowingly false or made in reckless disregard for the truth.” But the judge was just getting started. As reported by CNN the judged elaborated saying that the suit was…

“’Not just initiated by a shotgun pleading, this was a shotgun lawsuit. Thirty-one individuals and organizations were summoned to court, forced to hire lawyers to defend against frivolous claims,’ the judge wrote. ‘The only common thread against them was Mr. Trump’s animus.’

“Middlebrooks added: ‘Plaintiff deliberately misrepresented public documents by selectively using some portions while omitting other information including findings and conclusions that contradicted his narrative. … It was too frequent to be accidental. Every claim was frivolous, most barred by settled, well-established existing law. These were political grievances masquerading as legal claims.’

“‘This cannot be attributed to incompetent lawyering,’ he wrote. ‘It was a deliberate use of the judicial system to pursue a political agenda.'”

The judge concluded by ordering the attorneys, including, Trump’s TV camera-seeking counsel, Alina Habba, to pay $50,000 to the court and more than $16,000 in legal fees to just one of the defendants. So now Trump’s lawyers not only have to worry about never getting paid by Trump, they also have to budget for financial sanctions due to their incompetent representation of him. Will they ever learn?
