A Trump employee who monitored security cameras at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate abruptly retracted his earlier grand jury testimony and implicated Trump and others in obstruction of justice just after switching from an attorney paid for by a Trump political action committee to a lawyer from the federal defender’s office in Washington, prosecutors said in a court filing Tuesday.
So let me get this straight, the lawyer Trump gave him turned out to only be looking out for Trump? And he turned state’s witness when he got a real lawyer and figured out how effed he was? Wow, what a crazy world.
What’s even better is that the same lawyer, Stanley Woodward, is also representing another key witness and Trump lackey Walt Nauta. Which could mean that if Taveras testifies that Woodward mislead or coerced him into falsifying parts of his testimony in order to protect Trump, it could also call into question the legitimacy of Nauta’s testimony. It’s bad news for Trump on multiple levels.
Ohhhhh that’s why Jack Smith was making it so very very clear to Nauta that he has a right to an independent attorney.
Let the record show that the first person to become a cooperating witness was the IT guy. Remember kids, it is Black Friday rules – he who flips first gets the best deals.
Oh to be a fly on the wall when the defence team were informed.
Lmao - federal PD was probably like ‘you fucking moron, fix it. NOW.’
Edit: If the Trump attorney’s advice was bad enough, wonder if it’ll have repercussions for his bar card? Golly, that’d sure be unfortunate.
If you think this is fun, just watch what happens when his Fulton County codefendants realize nobody’s going to be paying their legal bills; the only question is whether Fani Willis decides Rudy’s testimony is more valuable than the satisfaction of watching him go down.
Georgia Republicans are working on passing a law to let the legislature get rid of any DA they disapprove of.
They already passed it, but it’s designed to target DAs who don’t prosecute abortion cases, not to stop Willis; it works through a panel of former DAs/judges and a number of them are appointed by the governor, who has no great love for Trump.
No it’s for both, if a loophole exists they will exploit it, you cannot give these people the benefit of doubt, if they don’t go after Willis using this they will just go after some other legitimate case’s prosecutor down the line.
