It's all well and good to sanction/disbar these attorneys who supported tRump, but what about all the attorneys (and non-attorneys) who are still seated in the US Congress? They should also be subject to the 14th Amendment and be disqualified as insurrectionists from serving in any federal office. The extremists in the GOP and their sycophants are doing their damnedest to destroy this country after taking an oath to protect it. We need to clean house.
As someone who has honorable lawyers in his family, and whose parents wanted him to go to law school and didn't have the wisdom to follow their advice, I would suggest adding the word "some" to your first sentence, I know the fishermen in my family, and there are a lot of us, would whole heartedly concur, we like fish and honor them, I can't say the same about the lawyers that the word "some" applies too. 🤷🏻
I'm waiting for the clanging of jail doors, one after the other in rapid succession. And Lin Wood is so way out there in outer space, he's like an astronaut who's left the ship and is wandering forever in space. I don't know what his mental problems are but they seem way high out there.
Wood and all the other legal morons working on behalf of the Orange Dumpster definitely drank the kool aid the Dumpster was serving. Disbarment and a little jail time are what they all deserve.
It’s difficult to know just how to feel about the fact that Fanni Willis just acknowledged to great acclaim that Lin Wood has turned on Trump and is going to be testifying against him. That should be good news except the man’s deranged. And in other news a former White House aide claims Giuliani groped her. What ia sorry bunch, especially their dear leader.
If they can document his testimony it may not matter. It's possible all they need is for him to provide a foundation for evidence he has in his possession. If so the defense can impeach his credibility all they want but the evidence remains the evidence.
I saw somewhere today that Lin Wood was going to be called as a witness and that he’d flipped. I can’t imagine why they’d put that loon on the witness stand.
Can’t differentiate between them anymore. Self incriminating must be exhausting. Once I thought it must be relaxing to be stupid; that theory is up in smoke now.
Wood is now going to testify for the prosecution against Kraken Powell in her early GA trial. He will be a hostile witness, appearing only because he was subpoenaed. Sine he is, himself an indicted conspirator, I image his testimony will consist of repeated Fifth Amendment assertions.
“It is not a good time to be a lawyer for Donald Trump, or even a lawyer for a lawyer for Donald Trump. There is always the issue of whether you will get paid, of course, and on top of that, there is the issue of whether you will continue to be permitted to practice law and earn a living as a lawyer.”
Still scratch me-noggin over all the attorneys (Team Kraken et al) who claimed voter fraud and malfeasance at the local/county levels all without a single legal predicate, none, nada, zilch. Then made the grand jete to extra-constitutional and extra-legal methods to overturn the certified results after being rejected by state and federal courts (0 for 60).
Which leads me to wonder how the current Trump attorneys plan on mounting a defense predicated on a lie told by their own client, over and over again. As Trump just admitted to, it was all his idea. Makes it next to impossible to claim the advice of counsel defense which waives attorney-client privilege. Who wouldn't want to see any and all work product from meetings w/Trump and others as well as their own interactions w/one another?
Finally, still can't understand how the acting AG and his deputy along with WHC attorneys can live with themselves for not blowing the whistle of the plot that was unfolding right in front of them. Each and every time the media and Jan6 committee members label them heroes all I see are cowards. Heroes take action well beyond their words.
Lucian, thanks for reminding us of the USA as seen through the tortured psyche of Lin Wood. If you ("you" means me) are carless in Los Angeles, you spend a LOT of time waiting at bus stops, and at subway and light rail stations, and you hear mentally ill people spouting a LOT of deranged shit (that's a psychological term). I ("you" in the preceding sentence) swear that the litany of Lin Wood's deranged shit in your piece, Julian, would fit right in with the madness I see and hear on streets and in moderately rapid transit vehicles all over sluburban Los Angeles. Chlorpromazine (we know the brand name, Thorazine) comes in liquid form. How difficult would it be to produce it so that it could be (gently) misted into meetings of any two or more of these Trumpoid "attorneys"?
This is great news! The first and most important thing that lawyers learn is that you can never lie in Court, which includes any filings or discovery proceedings. Judges take this very seriously and its the quickest and most certain way to get disbarred. Now why any lawyer would ever agree to represent Trump is the big mystery to me.

Clean house, indeed!
Does anyone else think this whole thing has been scripted by Monty Python?
Too far out for even the Flying Circus! 😂
Reminds me of the joke: what’s the difference between a lawyer and a catfish? Answer: one is a bottom feeder and the other one is a fish.

Tell that to Marc Elias, Joyce Vance, Jack Smith, Fani Willis, et al., next time you see them.
Fair enough

Not a credible person let alone witness!
Except for the gropee...Cassidy Hutchinson!

Dude flipped a long time ago, and it had nothing to do with testimony.
That just came out today. It's being reported by the New Republic.

Being around stupid people is exhausting!

Lin Wood has come a long way since his defense of accused Olympic Park bomber Richard Jewell...a long way down.
Maybe they all wind up bunkmates in the same prison cell block
From your lips to the FSM’s ears!!
As I read somewhere recently, maga = make attorneys get attorneys

I LOVE that paragraph, Lucian.
