It is not uncommon for defense attorneys to meet with federal prosecutors prior to them seeking an indictment, in the hopes of convincing them not to bring charges against their client.

Citing the doctrine of "C'mon, dude, I said I was sorry."

Edit: Also Trump: "I'M NOT SORRY AND I'LL FUCKIN DO IT AGAIN AND SOME BRAVE PATRIOT NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO YOUR LOVELY FAMILY"

Will be wild, what’s going to happen to your family!

[-] Wiz@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

*( True, as long as your family is attempting a coup, like his family.)

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago

40 of 'em in one tiny car.

[-] insomniac@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Are there really 40 lawyers left that will work for him?

[-] girlfreddy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Maybe this set are real lawyers instead of blatant lieyers.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

We will do a megathread for the next indictment if it happens today or tomorrow.

[-] stringere@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

After that, though, fuck it.

[-] PeleSpirit@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I didn't know you could do megathreads, Lemmy is growing up. 😥

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

We almost have all the same tools we had at reddit now.

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

He found lawyers? Last time I checked on him nobody wanted to work for him, because he didn’t pay and was hard to work with and dragged all his former lawyers into the dirt and he is, you know, guilty af.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

How many of them will quit mid-meeting?

[-] Granite@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

Hope they got paid upfront!

Round 2, *** ding ***

It is not uncommon for defense attorneys to meet with federal prosecutors prior to them seeking an indictment, in the hopes of convincing them not to bring charges against their client.

[-] Spacebar@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

These charges will be in Washington DC.

In DC, the rules are for a speedy trial, no courtroom cameras and they highly frown on Trump type bad-mouthing of judges and prosecutors in the media.

The coup monger will finally be held accountable!

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

As much as I want this to be true, I’ll believe it when I see it.

[-] Iwasondigg@lemmy.one 8 points 11 months ago

Do these lawyers have TV commercials with phone numbers that are just a single digit repeated seven times?

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I believe the number to the firm is 877-CASH-NOW

[-] Default_Defect@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Has there been a more successful ad campaign for something you'll likely never use? The songs from these commercials were stuck in my head just about a week ago.

[-] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

I'm frequently amazed that Trump still has lawyers.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

At this point I assume it’s just a rotating door tag team system. Lawyers come in, make some money and then yeah out to the next. Although this all hinges on trump paying invoices which is sus at best

[-] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

But Trump doesn't pay his lawyers...

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Jaws theme quietly starts

[-] girlfreddy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I would thoroughly enjoy it if someone/anyone would play that the next time the orange kumquat is filmed walking. I mean what a gif that would make!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I can't wait to see what Trump ~~tweets~~ ~~Xes~~ truths[?] about this?

[-] Acronymesis@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A paradox: It is correct that posts on the Orange One's social media are called "truths". At the same time, to call anything the Orange One posts "truths" is incorrect.

Hmm... 🤔

ETA (It's more an oxymoron, but you get the idea.)

[-] Openmindedskeptic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

A "paradoxymoron" if you will, emphasis on the moron.

[-] Acronymesis@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Anybody else miss the Fantasy Indictment League from Mueller She Wrote?
