What’s the up front retainer fee to take on POOTWH as a client? Any comments from POOTWH’s way off spring? Ivanka Darlink or Jared Dear Boy release statements yet? How embarrassing to be associated, even remotely.
Trump said he was turning to different lawyers to fight the charges against him and suggested that two of his top attorneys would be departing the case.
“For purposes of fighting the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time, now moving to the Florida Courts, I will be represented by Todd Blanche, Esq., and a firm to be named later,” Trump said on social media.
“I want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work, but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and ‘sick’ group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before. We will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days,” Trump wrote.
i did not see him snub her. the camera panned to the left. how do we know he did not wave to her off camera when it was panned left? i mean she walked towards him at the end of the video.

Fears that Republicans’ rhetoric after Trump indictment could spark violence
‘An eye for an eye’, said Arizona congressman, while another representative from Louisiana gave militaristic instructions
Belligerent and conspiracy-laden rhetoric from high-profile Republican backers of Donald Trump has heightened fears that the former US president’s campaign against his legal troubles could trigger political violence.
Fewer
than 24 hours after Donald Trump was indicted, Arizona congressman Andy
Biggs went on Twitter and used violent language to call for
retribution. “We have now reached a war phase,” he said. “An eye for an eye.”
Clay
Higgins, another Republican congressman from Louisiana, gave
militaristic instructions to his followers. “This is a perimeter probe
from the oppressors. Hold. rPOTUS has this,” he tweeted, using an abbreviation to refer to Trump as the real president.
Higgins added: “Buckle up. 1/50K know your bridges. Rock steady calm. That is all,” he added, using an apparent reference to military-scale maps. (Two days later Higgins tweeted: “Let Trump handle Trump, he’s got this. We use the Constitution as our only weapon. Peace. Hold.”)
The
statements from the two far-right congressmen – both of whom voted to
overturn the 2020 election – underscore the alarming way that violent
rhetoric has seeped into mainstream US political discourse in the
Republican party especially in the wake of Trump’s indictment.
An estimated 12 million adults
– 4.4% of the US population – believe violence is justified to return
Trump to power, according to a recent survey by the University of
Chicago’s Project on Security & Threats (CPOST).
“I’ve
been reporting on rightwing movements for 20 years. The ‘heat’ is
hotter, the blast stronger. And the source more pungent,” said Jeffrey
Sharlet, a professor at Dartmouth College and author of The Undertow,
a book studying the far right. “The ‘rhetoric’ is specific: while
Twitter giggled at what it took to be the ‘word salad’ of Higgins’
statement, those who study militias read it as the call to arms it is.”
It
is language that has been encouraged by Trump himself since before he
was elected but that perhaps peaked around the January 6 attack on the
US Capitol as his supporters invaded the building to try and prevent the
certification of Joe Biden’s election win.
As a
candidate in 2016, Trump pledged to cover the legal fees of supporters
who assaulted protesters at his rallies. “I’d like to punch him in the
face,” he said of one protester at a 2016 rally.
On 6 January 2021, Trump used violent language as
he encouraged his supporters to descend on the US Capitol to block the
certification of the electoral college vote. “We fight like hell and if
you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,”
he said. What followed was the deadliest assault on the US capitol in
American history with five people dying in connection with the attack.
There
was evidence that Trump’s violent language was inspiring his
supporters. On The Donald, a pro-Trump forum, users called for violence
in order to restore Trump to the presidency, Rolling Stone reported.
“The only way this country ever becomes anything like the Constitution
says this country should be is if thousands of traitorous rats are
publicly executed,” one user wrote, according to the magazine.
A 2020 survey by ABC News found at least 54 criminal cases in which Trump was invoked in connection with violent acts or threats of violence.
“What’s
happening in the United States is political violence is going from the
fringe to the mainstream,” Robert Pape, a professor at the University of
Chicago who leads CPOST, told the Guardian earlier this month.
Trump
allies outside of Washington have also relied on violent language to
defend the former president since his most recent indictment for his
handling of classified documents after he left the White House.
“If
you want to get to President Trump, you’re going to have to go through
me, and you’re going to have to go through 75 million Americans just
like me,” Kari Lake, the failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate, said
in a speech on Friday to applause. “And I’m going to tell you, most of
us are card-carrying members of the NRA. That’s not a threat, that’s a
public service announcement.”
Pete Santilli, a
far-right talk show host, called on the military to use zip-ties to
detain Biden, put him in the back of a pickup truck and get him out of
the White House, according to the New York Times.
Another
guest on the show said he would “probably shoot” Mark Milley, the
chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, if it were legal, the Times
reported. Santilli also previously called for the execution of former
president Barack Obama and other officials if Trump was indicted.
Sharlet, the Dartmouth professor, said the violent rhetoric got worse each day that it persisted.
“Every
day it corrodes the hope of democracy. Every day it encourages
so-called ‘lone wolves’ – the real militia to whom such not-so-coded
signals are broadcast – to take action,” he said.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

I think there's a real threat, and certain loons like Kari Lake are trying to incite violence. I also think that that 12 million number is overblown.
I definitely believe that there are 12 million internet tough guys who like to talk big about how much a$$ they would kick, if only they could; a lot of them wildly overestimate their own abilities. A lot of them also seem to think that video games are real life.
That said, I think there are enough people capable of committing violence in the name of this guy and his cult that we should be -- alert? concerned? wary?
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

The legal team for Donald Trump, a famously fickle and combative client, on Friday was in tumult again as the former president faces federal charges for allegedly mishandling classified documentsat his Florida home.
Trump said he was turning to different lawyers to fight the charges against him and suggested that two of his top attorneys would be departing the case.
