You don't do this unless you think indictments are imminent.

1. You can't charge me for my crimes, I was President.

[Ocelot II]

2. Does TFG write his lawyers' material for them?

Lawyers don't normally write those sorts of hysterical, angry screeds.

[anciano]

9. My thoughts exactly!

For goodness sake.....

[agingdem]

20. Trump's victim bullshit cleaned up ... pathetic..

I wonder who's calling the shots..Trump or his third tier lawyer..hmmm??...I suspect Garland will respond in the same way he responded to Jordan and McCarthy when they demanded he turn over all investigation files relating to January 6/documents...a polite 'fuck you and the MAGA horse you rode in on"..

[StarryNite]

24. Yes, it is very childish.

[Rhiannon12866]

40. U.S. laws, when applied to TFG, are "unfair??"

[rsdsharp]

61. This guy doesn't have a law degree.

He has an SD: Stenographic Doctorate.

[Maru Kitteh]

73. He wrote his weirdo first doctor's note for him. Remember the "positive"

test results?

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/02/607638733/doctor-trump-dictated-letter-attesting-to-his-extraordinary-health

In December 2015, Donald Trump's personal physician released a letter describing his patient's health in language that sounded more like it was written by the patient himself than the doctor — and it turns out that might be exactly what happened.

"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Dr. Harold Bornstein, a gastroenterologist from Lenox Hospital in New York, wrote at the time.

The letter said that a recent medical exam showed "only positive results" for the then-candidate and that "his physical strength and stamina are extraordinary."

[madaboutharry]

3. Surprised the letter didn't contain the following:

WITCH HUNT! HOAX! MOST VICIOUS TREATMENT EVER!!!!

[mopinko]

4. the depths 1 must sink to to be a trump lawyer.

that is the stupidest letter i can imagine.

[captain queeg]

5. Seems like a stupid idea under most any circumstance.

[Tetrachloride]

6. So, Trump wants a face to face with Garland.

Garland need not reply. Its a political move.

If Trump has a legal move, he can plead guilty or turn over evidence or blame Jared.

[Ocelot II]

18. He won't get one. The case is being handled by the Special Counsel

and Garland has no involvement in it at this time. If he writes back at all, the letter will probably be something like:

Dear Mr. Rowley:

This matter is currently being handled in its entirety by the Special Counsel, Mr. Jack Smith. Any concerns you or your client may have with respect to it should be directed to Mr. Smith's office.

Eat Shit And Die,

Merrick Garland
Attorney General

[Irish_Dem]

45. So what happens when Trump sends a letter to Jack Smith?

[Ocelot II]

49. Nothing.

[Irish_Dem]

52. Why do you think Trump wants to meet with Garland and Smith?

I don't think he has requested meetings with prosecutors before?

[Ocelot II]

62. According to Joyce Vance it's not unusual for people under criminal investigation

to want to hold discussions with prosecutors if indictments seem imminent (and it's even possible that some discussions have already occurred). But this looks like they are trying to do an end run around the Special Counsel to try to negotiate with Garland directly (which would render the Special Counsel appointment pointless, so that's not likely to happen). I think the letter isn't so much a demand for a meeting, which they must know probably won't happen, but - since lawyers don't write to other lawyers in that puerile, combative manner - instead it's a public message to the MAGAts, warning them that an indictment is coming and setting them up for more grifting.

[Irish_Dem]

70. Yes this makes sense.

It is not a legal letter, it is a marketing letter to raise money.

And to stir up anger and hatred. Maybe Trump's violent army in the wings
will start threatening the DOJ and future jury members etc.

And the attorneys let Trump write the letter quite badly, so that the legal
community knows they didn't write it.

[lastlib]

75. Jack Smith gives the same response, but....

...without the first paragraph.

"Dear tRump lawyer,

ESAD.

With all due respect,
Jack Smith"

[Playingmantis]

56. Ha ha ha

I love your ending!!!

[ShazzieB]

80. I got to the sign-off and exploded with laughter!

Good job!

[Irish_Dem]

92. Ocelot should handle all DOJ correspondence to Trump.

[C_U_L8R]

7. Take a number, JP III

So tiresome and transparent. They treat every communication like propaganda.

[malaise]

8. STFU Slobfather

Consequences are finally coming.

Buckle up folks. Looks like Walt Nauta was very naughty.😀😀

[EarlG]

10. Jeez, that's from his lawyers?

“Blah blah blah Hunter Biden blah blah blah.”

Guess they went to Fox News law school.

[Walleye]

16. I noticed that. Hunter is their slander buzzword

[Nevilledog]

22. Same lawyer 👇

[LudwigPastorius]

41. Lionel Hutz had more integrity in his pint of Colonel Kwik-E-Mart's Bourbon than Trump's...

lawyers have in their entire bodies.

[Nevilledog]

91. Best defense of a cartoon lawyer in many moons.

[Cha]

26. Hunter is their Red Flag they're

Not Serious.

[ancianita]

38. Right? If both firms were worth the name they'd have indicted Hunter by now rather than "blah blah."

[lpbk2713]

11. Reply: Don't call us. We'll call you.

That's absolutely silly.

[liberal N proud]

12. It's so unfair

He had his thugs send letter saying it's not fair.

How second grade!

[BlueCheeseAgain]

13. Even his lawyers talk like he does.

Anyone in legal circles know anything about this law firm?

[ancianita]

42. Has he even paid them yet to sound like him,

or are they applying for the job. Not in a legal circle, but both firms are on the same block of Pennsylvania Avenue.

[electric_blue68]

14. Baahahahaaaaaaaaa! .... STFU, drumphf & Co.

[Tetrachloride]

15. Offer me money. Wait, I'll offer you money. Wait, that's unfair. You should offer me money

[Takket]

17. that can't possibly be real, can it?

[FoxNewsSucks]

21. I can't imagine any legitimate attorney debasing themselves publicly like that.

Especially for a client known to be a deadbeat.

[Ocelot II]

28. TFG can't hire legitimate lawyers any more.

Everybody he hires ends up unpaid, humiliated and/or disbarred. If these guys aren't MAGAM true believers they must be desperate for business; either way they are making monumental asses of themselves.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

96. Oh, he can hire them

He only has to pay a massive retainer up front.

Lawyers will represent anyone if they're paid enough for it. They're not stupid, though. Especially not trial (criminal defense) lawyers, who spend their lives dealing with criminals. That's why trial lawyers typically have a policy requiring a retainer, up front, to secure representation. With some criminals, they'll let them put up a house as collateral, but most put down cold, hard cash. Any legit lawyer will demand from a known deadbeat like TFG to pay a cash retainer, up front. And it will start at around $10million. If he refuses to pay, well, thanks for your interest in our business, but we won't represent you without the retainer. Have a nice day.

[Takket]

31. apparently drumpf posted that image himself on truth social.

I googled the law firm and the lawyer and they are very much real. I cannot fathom that being real though, i mean, what kind of lawyer would write something like that? How in the world could any lawyer actually think their client's situation will IMPROVE based on a letter like that?

[Ocelot II]

43. Maybe TFG got ahold of some of the firm's letterhead.

I can't imagine a lawyer with a remaining shred of professional self-respect writing something like that.

[Marthe48]

53. They got hold of letterheads to make letters for the fake elector scheme

I must be punchy. I'm getting giggly reading this thread

[FoxNewsSucks]

51. I went to the website too,

probably getting more traffic tonight than the rest of their existence.

Must be real, it's on Lawrence O'Donnell now.

The mockery they will get. . .

[ecstatic]

64. Maybe this is the reincarnation of John Barron. lol. nt

[blm]

19. Trump dictated that letter.

At least 90% of it.

[Joinfortmill]

23. Oh, goody. TickTock.

[BOSSHOG]

25. Injustices perpetrated?? Rich indeed

Do these guys write for SNL?

And always gratuitously toss in HUNTER BIDEN.

[RussBLib]

27. WTF is so outrageous and unlawful?

The DOJ has followed rules to the hilt.

A letter from Garland politely telling them to stuff it would be nice.

SMDH

[Ocelot II]

30. If Garland responds at all, chances are he'll tell them

he's not involved in the case and if they have a problem to take it up with Jack Smith, the Special Counsel.

[RussBLib]

35. likely so

in his typically dry manner

[TurboDem]

29. I'm guessing tfg got his hands on some law office stationery.

No reputable lawyer would write that drivel!

[Ocelot II]

32. Reputable lawyers don't work for TFG.

[Orrex]

33. Well, they're right about it not being "baselessly"

[hlthe2b]

34. So clearly dictated by Trump--only the grammar and spelling cleaned up by attorneys

How embarrassing to work for this ludcrous cretin.

[orleans]

36. dear john p. rowley 111

no matter what you do/write/say you're still not getting paid

[BootinUp]

37. This letter is hilarious to me. nt

[LudwigPastorius]

39. Trump's lawyers have nothing.

They'd have to be idiots to even represent him in the first place.

I hope the AG tells them to fuck off. He's a busy man. If they've got something of substance to say to him they can put it in another letter.

[malaise]

44. Lawrence on this now n/t

[Kablooie]

46. So the government can not do an investigation?

What have Republicans been doing for the past decades.

If there is no criminal behavior why would he object to an INVESTIGATION?
It would only serve to clear his name.

[Renew Deal]

47. Is this law firm representing Trump?

Or is it just from some random people?

[elleng]

48. Anyone familiar with The West Wing,

this letter reminds me of this:

'Please don't hurt me.'

((I'll be re-watching The West Wing later.))

[KY_EnviroGuy]

50. Reads like it's from MAGAt Law, PLLC.

Isn't it unethical for a defense attorney to claim "baselessly investigated" when the investigation is still on-going and discovery is yet to be presented?

Also seems illogical to claim "ongoing injustice" when justice is yet to be rendered by a court.

This level of raw political hackery should disqualify this attorney from acting before a court, IMO.


KY.........

[Sneederbunk]

54. You'll hear from us, but not at a meeting.

[maxrandb]

55. I Strenuously Object? Is that how it works?

[PortTack]

57. I'm surprised the letter didn't mention no investigation into Hillary's wrongdoing!!

After all we all know what a criminal she is!

[LuvLoogie]

58. It's just more propaganda.

Did they even send it?

[Ocelot II]

66. The more I think about it the more I believe it was intended as a message to the MAGAts

and not really meant as a serious request to Garland for a meeting, since they must know that's not likely to happen, at least not in response to that snotty, childish demand. The lawyers have already debased themselves by agreeing to represent TFG in the first place, so they probably figured they couldn't go much lower by writing a letter in TFG's voice for public consumption through TFG's fake Twitter.

[ecstatic]

59. well hurry up. please

That nonsense-filled, trump-dictated letter won't do shit for trump now. Welcome to the big leagues.

[Maeve]

60. So...Biden and family ARE being treated fairly??

Did anyone who gradutated 3rd grade write that?????

(and yeah, the spelling was intended. So was the reference to 3rd grade, which Beverly Hillbillies fans will get)

[lastlib]

77. (that's "gradgiated"...)

got it!

[Maeve]

93. I admit it has been a long time since I watched Jethro cipherin' and I guess it was a

6th grade education (this morning I am down at my main computer and able to look things up), but that letter sound even more ignorant than he would have written. Ye, dawgies!

[moondust]

63. To offer a bribe or make threats?

Carrots or sticks?

[MLAA]

76. Both: Orange carrot sticks and hamberders washed down with cofefe

[AllaN01Bear]

65. we;;, whah.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

67. Maybe He Should Stomp His Widdle Foot And Threaten To Hold His Breath

Every time I hear his tired old "It's not FAIRRRRRRRR!!!" routine, which is pretty much every other minute, all I can think of is a petulant toddler shouting at his parents before collapsing to the floor in tears.

How very manly when a guy pushing 80 and trying to play himself up as a tough guy does it.

[ShazzieB]

82. I keep picturing something like this...

[Wednesdays]

94. Or this...

[ybbor]

68. Lol

This is so funny!

The exact opposite of constructive critique: start with something positive, and then state things to work on/correct; attack you and then, ask so would you be willing to meet about maybe being so harsh on me.

Ridiculous!

[Lucky Luciano]

69. The ideal response-

Dear Mr Rowley,

It has come to my attention that some clueless fucking moron is signing your name to stupid letters. I have attached one such letter in this correspondence in the hopes that you can use it to track down and punish the imposter that is making you look like a fool.

Regards,
AG Garland

[spanone]

71. How does he continue to enlist attorneys? He's fucking crazy as a loon.

[jmowreader]

72. Garland's reply:

Dear Mr. Rowley:

Hillary Rodham Clinton's email address is [e-mail]. (It probably isn't, but it'll do for now.) Feel free to ask her all about baseless investigations.

Very truly yours,
Attorney General Garland

At the very least, they should know they likely won't be paid.

87. So obvious .... Planting the seed everywhere on social media

That it's all bogus! And it's working.

No one in their constituency believes ANY indictment!!!!!

Yikes almighty!!!!!!!!

Have no earthly idea how to counteract. Hope better minds do...
