Prosecutors have proposed Barbara Jones a former federal judge who screened records belonging to Michael Cohen to now oversee weighing which of the materials recently seized from onetime Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s home and office might be protected by attorney-client privilege.
Let’s get the party started.
Let it be Indictment Friday (for someone).
I never thought I would say this, but Giuliani is much more of a menace to society than Cohen ever was.
As to what might be found on Rudy’s devices, I trust the judge has good instincts and a strong stomach for porn.
Barbara Jones is an Antifa Communist.
Just wanted to beat Carlson, Pirro, Hannity, et al to the punch.
It’s all a matter of scale: Cohen was decidedly small time.
Rudy is indispensable, truly–But the Graveyards Are Full of Indispensable Men.
Don’t think it was mentioned in the article but Jones is known for her prosecution of organized crime. So, it’s a good fit.
There has been talk that all of this Trump/August business is fueled by Trump’s fear that indictments will be coming down on him & Crew.
Why do all these investigations take SO LONG??? I know they want to be thorough, but these case durations are ridiculous! WE NEED SOME PROSECUTIONS to get past this period in our history.
That item will speak well in terms of communications
Both Trump and Giuliani think, act and communicate like organized crime figures
Ditto. It bothers me to no end that crooks like Giuliani and Manafort can run out the clock, angling for a Deus ex Machina.
“…Barbara Jones a former federal judge…”
@geographyjones, is this your wife? Mom? Sister??? Any relation?
If so, can you give us a heads up on her findings?
I think if there were such a thing as buffoon-client privilege the prosecutors might have a problem here but if the standard is whether Giuliani was doing actual legal work they’re in good shape. Being a lawyer is more than just showing up places and running your mouth.
Rudy doing actual legal work is a bit of a stretch. I can’t picture what that would look like, actually. Hands down pants certainly doesn’t count.
Jones is the deep state but I’m no relation to Barb.
ETA “hands down pants”. Rudy was just reviewing his briefs.
Sometimes he would do his schtick in actual courtrooms and at least once the judge openly wondered if he even knew what he was talking about, and if he understood the meaning of particular legal terms. It just made you cringe that anyone would humiliate himself that way.
Every night the DOJ turns loose 1000 monkeys on 1000 keyboards. Then the next morning they check to see if there are any coherent indictments on the pile. That’s how it works.
