Discussion: Attorney Tries Out Trump's 'Flipping Should Be Illegal' Defense

1 Like

So did the attorney skip right over:
“My client didn’t do that”
“Everyone does it”
“My client did it, but it’s legal”

This is just fucking dandy. Criminals are complaining that the goddamn president of the United States said the game board should be tilted more toward them. “Strong on crime” my left hind foot.

Try the “Don’t do illegal shit with shady characters and you won’t have to worry about flippers defense” "

No, no, no! It’s strong for crime. Just a little misunderstanding.

The President wants to make flipping almost illegal?

That’s fine. When this defendant is almost found not guilty, they can almost not go to prison.

If flipping is to be made illegal, then Persnit should be arrested for flipping on changing social security and medicare.

Glad we have some decent and honest judges who understand the Rule of Law.

In the SDNY no less.

He was appointed by a real leader, Obama.

You know, I just don’t think this is one that’s going to get any traction anywhere within the legal system. The types of judges who might actually like PP are also those who are particularly hard asses in the courtroom, the kinds that hand out tough sentences for jaywalking. The kinds of judges who aren’t exactly fans of the Dotard aren’t going to upend the entire justice system because of his idiotic attempts at self-preservation. That said, I’m glad somebody tried it just for shits and giggles.

This judge should employ the Kobach Rule™ and sentence the attorney to a few extra hours of CLE. Just for shits and giggles.

Attorney’s next defense tactic…the “crime isn’t crime” defense. That should go over well too. Beats the Twinkie defense.

Yeah people with knowledge of crime done by a colleague or friend should be allowed to reveal that knowledge. Dumbass.
