Former President Donald Trump has replaced his top Georgia lawyer ahead of his surrender Thursday evening, sources tell CNN.
Drew Findling, the lawyer who has led Trump’s defense in Georgia, is being replaced by Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based attorney whose website profile describes him as a “special counsel for white collar and high-profile defense.”
“Sorry, I need more time now to bring my new counsel up to speed, can I get a delay pweeese?”
No sure what the other lawyer had said but it looks like Trump just went with someone who says what he wants to hear.
“I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case. The president should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him,” Sadow said in a statement. “We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open minded jury finding the president not guilty. Prosecutions intended to advance or serve the ambitions and careers of political opponents of the president have no place in our justice system.”
“hopefully the case just goes away. But I guess I could try to somehow get a not guilty for him if we can stack the jury the Right way.”
"I just want some of that sweet Trump train money.
What do you mean, get the invoice later?"

Findling is a self-proclaimed liberal whose prior social media posts criticizing Trump quickly drew media attention.
The former guy didn’t like the optics of being represented by a liberal. Optics is everything for him.

I doubt he cares about politics, but he does care about his image so it’s plausible. I personally think it’s because he wants yes men, someone pitched an idea to him and his lawyer probably told him it’s a bad idea and he had to be replaced.
Putting in appropriate effort for a job where the pay is exposure.
That exposure is gonna backfire- this case is basically a slam dunk.
A slam dunk unless someone in the audience (a single juror) decides that nothing the prosecution can do will make it a slam dunk so nobody gets any points (not guilty). Metaphor got away from me but all it takes is one juror to lie his way into the box and refuse to vote guilty no matter what.
Actually, that would be a mistrial.
Which results in a second trial- in this case it would be with a new jury. There would be no reason to dismiss the case if only one hold out was present.
And if it’s demonstrable that the juror lied- maybe by looking at social media- then they’re gonna get his with perjury.
God damn, do I want to live in the reality where bad press exists. Or have you not watched these exact assholes fail upwards for the last seven years?
The reason it’s going to back fire is you know trump is going to throw them under the bus when there’s nobody else to toss.
They’re going to fail, and trump is going to blame them. And he’s going to let the world know it.
Oh no, the condemnation of a narcissistic felon.
And someone who won’t be paid anyway
Oh this is the “lawyer of the stars” guy Trump had previously retained:

Kind of a shame it’s just weird lighting on a normal-looking dude, versus being the sign that this is all a fever dream you can wake up from. I say you because my coma delirium wouldn’t involve this many false starts. Comey’s gonna charge him, whoops, nevermind. Mueller’s gonna charge him, whoops, nevermind. We’re going to war with Iran, whoops, nevermind. We’re holding cops accountable, whoops, nevermind. The plague means UBI, whoops, nevermind. Roger Stone’s going to jail, whoops, nevermind. A mob invaded the capitol, whoops, nevermind. Russia’s seizing Ukraine, whoops, nevermind. Ukraine’s expelling Russia, whoops, nevermind. Wagner’s conquering Moscow, whoops, nevermind. The last seven years have been like a story told by a toddler. “And then… and then… but nuh-uh… and then…”
Seeing the figure of highest ridicule - whom I remember reading about in Bloom County collections when they were far from new - fail his way into the clumsiest autocracy imaginable, would not be followed up by this much inaction. Hallucinations don’t start with “Carrot Top became the Pope!” and then level out. He’s declaring a crusade on Gallagher, the Swiss Guard develop laser-pikes, and your childhood dog kills the emperor of Australia. So whichever one of you is having this nightmare, I want you to know your subconscious is fucking boring.
“Reality is stranger than fiction,” is not merely pith, but as grim and perverse a promise as “May you live in interesting times,” is.
PANIC MODE
