Special counsel Jack Smith took a meeting with attorneys representing former President Donald Trump earlier this year and reportedly sat in stone-cold silence while they pleaded with him not to indict their client.
Politico reports that ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl’s new book on Trump’s post-presidential life claims that Trump lawyers Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro met with Smith’s team over the summer and gave them a list of reasons why charging Trump with crimes related to his efforts to illegally remain in power would be a mistake.
According to Karl, Smith sat through through the presentation without saying a word.
I’d love to see this list of “reasons” published. What do they think they are? Way above the law, or what?
Reason 1: He didn’t do anything!
Reason 2: It wasn’t that bad!
Reason 3: You’re making such a big deal about it!
Reason 4: It wasn’t his fault!
Reason 5: He didn’t mean it!
Reason 6: You all deserved it!
Ah yes, the narcissist’s legal defense
If you’ve paid attention to the civil trial, this is the exact defense they’re using.
