And proceeded to display his incompetence to the world.

Wonder if he’s been paid yet.

Blanche says he does not accept the verdict. That is ridiculous.

Did Blanche do anything worthy of disbarment during his service to Trump? That is an investigation which should be pursued: after all, Blanche purportedly pulled that stunt of trying to evoke sympathy for Trump by describing Trump being sentenced to prison (despite Blanche likely knowing well that that form of comment was not allowable in his closing argument).

they had no chance of getting a fair trial in NY. Trump babbled something about not being allowed a change of venue after the verdict. That’s going to be their line.

The trial wasn’t fair because New Yorkers hate Trump.
