Trump Request for Garland Meeting Signals Indictment Is Near

[Swede]

You don't send your lawyers to meet if you're not getting indicted.

A request from former President Donald Trump's lawyers for a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland has sparked speculation that Trump may be facing an imminent federal criminal indictment.

Trump lawyers John Rowley and James Trusty sent a letter to Garland on Tuesday requesting a meeting to discuss "the ongoing injustice" of Special Counsel Jack Smith's dual investigations into the former president's attempts to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election and issues surrounding his post-presidency handling of classified documents.

1. But it's unfair

It’s unfair he got caught.

Indictment can’t come soon enough

3. It's the most unfair unfairness in the history of being unfair

Nobody has ever been treated as unfairly.

2. Firecracker time?......................

although I've been told that shithole could still run for office and if he wins run the country from jail.

Which I find quite ridiculous.

4. He's trying to reframe it as political and personal

Simply, ignore the troll.

5. I have a theory about that letter, FWIW.

No lawyer, even one of TFG's sketchy mouthpieces, would write such a puerile, belligerent letter to the guy who's overseeing the prosecution of his client. What I suspect happened is something like this: TFG calls up the lawyer and says he wants a meeting with Garland. Lawyer says Garland probably won't do it because Jack Smith, the Special Counsel, is managing the case. TFG says he doesn't care, he wants the lawyer to send Garland a letter demanding a meeting, and he dictates the letter to the lawyer, insisting on the wording. And TFG wants a copy of the letter immediately, on the lawyer's letterhead. Lawyer rolls his eyes and has a secretary type it up as dictated and send a copy to TFG. Lawyer then either writes a polite, professional letter to Garland and/or Smith, requesting a conference to discuss the status of the case and does not send TFG a copy of this letter, or else he makes the request by phone so he can truthfully tell his client that he has contacted Garland. He suspects or knows that the letter TFG dictated will be posted on fake Twitter for the purpose of outraging and grifting the MAGAts but he's already sold his soul by agreeing to represent TFG in the first place, so he accepts the resulting humiliation as the cost of doing business. But the letter on TFG's fake Twitter was never sent to Garland at all.

So that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Thank you.

6. Is that a serious request for a meeting?

That's doesn't look serious. I would throw it in the garbage.

10. I think we all should be privy to that meeting

[Ocelot II]

11. There won't be a meeting. Garland isn't handling the case.

[MagickMuffin]

12. Garland's response: We gave you ample time to come forward

But your ego got in the way and is still outta control. No meetings with you!

13. Poor Trump. Writing to AG Garland is a sign of desperation
