Today's Tiedrich rant: Donald Trump's lawyers shit the bed - and then set it on fire
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/donald-trumps-lawyers-shit-the-bed
it’s always fun to watch a Trump lawyer at work, because you know that supreme clownfuckery can break out at any moment.
you see, Trump lawyers don’t get make their own decisions about how to do their job. nope, they have an abject moron for a client — one who believes that he knows more about lawyering than all the lawyers. so they have to sit and listen as their addle-brained client rants and raves about you fucking idiots, you need to be attacking the judge and witnesses more. here, let me tell you what to say — and also here, put the guy on the stand, he’s going to win it for us.
all this has resulted in one courtroom disaster after another, and sure enough, late yesterday afternoon, Trump’s lawyers pointed guns at their own feet — and pulled the trigger until it went click. it all happened because Trump ordered his lawyers to call Robert Costello to the stand.
Screenshot:
Costello — a Trump hanger-on who had served as a legal advisor to both Michael Cohen and Rudy Colludy — was there to testify that Michael Cohen is a poopy-head who sucks all ass, and also is a lying liar who lies about everything. what Costello did instead was to pour gasoline all over own his credibility and set a match to it.

In case you missed the fireworks yesterday, the Chump defense called their first witness - Robert Costello - and he turned out to be a disaster. Tiedrich's rant today is all about that, AND about badass Judge Merchan's reaction to Costello's behavior on the witness stand.
Some great sarcasm here along with Tiedrich's usual collection of Xwitter comments. Meanwhile the latest Chump posse was standing outside the Manhattan courthouse (continuing from last week) and they were jeered at by regular New Yorkers who screamed “No one cares what you want, bro” and “you’re shilling for a rapist.”
