All Things Trump: the story continues...

2 Trump supporters die and go to Heaven and God meets them at the pearly gates. "Tell us" they say "what were the real results of the 2020 election and who was behind the fraud?"
God answers "My children, there was no fraud."
After a few seconds stunned silence, one turns to the other and whispers "This goes up higher than we thought."

Either he or his boss must have attended the meeting at which the company lawyers gave them a serious talking to. They're hoping to avoid getting sued for a daunting number of simoleons.

They actually had a story, his being banned from twitter. Not going into detail or repeating stolen election claims.

Fuzzy McDipshit, Esq. (one of the twice-impeached former president's impeachment trial lawyers) would prefer that no video of the sacking of the US Capitol be played at the trial. Video at the link.

Trump's impeachment lawyer doesn't want videos of the insurrection shown at the trial. He says "This has nothing to do with President Trump"

McDipshit's predecessors thought that they should get paid for their work.

Many people are saying they got out while the getting was good.

'Fees -- not just strategy -- blew up Trump's legal team'

Disagreements over legal strategy weren't the only reason Donald Trump's defense team collapsed just days before his second impeachment trial, Axios has learned.

What we're hearing: The notoriously stingy former president and his lead lawyer, Butch Bowers, wrangled over compensation during a series of tense phone calls, sources familiar with their conversations said. The argument came even though Trump has raised over $170 million from the public that could be used on his legal defenses.

• The two initially agreed Bowers would be paid $250,000 for his individual services, a figure that "delighted" Trump, one of the sources said.
• However, Trump didn't realize Bowers hadn't included additional expenses — including more lawyers, researchers and other legal fees that would be accrued on the job.
• He was said to be livid when Bowers came back to him with a total budget of $3 million. Trump called the South Carolina attorney and eventually negotiated him down to $1 million.
• All of this infuriated Trump and his political team, who think the case will be straightforward, given 45 Republican senators already voted to dismiss the trial on the basis it's unconstitutional to convict a former president on impeachment charges.
• Trump's political arm also was planning to pay separately for audiovisuals, a rapid-response team and legislative liaison.

In the end, the money dispute added to frustrations Bowers and the other lawyers felt about whether the former president's claims of election fraud should be central to their arguments.

Given the current position of most Republican senators, he knows he's going to get off, he should just get the work-experience kid in a small town legal firm to do his defence for $100 and a signed MAGA cap...
