Trump’s New TV Attorney Is A Piece Of Work

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

I’m pretty sure that the role of TV attorney – as opposed to actual attorney – for a high-profile political client originated with Lanny Davis during the Clinton impeachment.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1451235

First. I have noticed quite a few new J6 cases in the news lately. Sleuths are still poring over the videos and still images and IDing perps.

Did anyone expect TFG’s TV lawyer to be less than TFG-like?

More than 1,000 additional people could still face charges in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol

I’m sure this has created several years of intense anxiety for many participants of the riot and that’s a good thing.

Yeah is there some law that MSNBC and CNN etc. have to endlessly invite Chump’s slimy propagandist ‘lawyers’ on all their shows? So he can do what…poison the news cycle?

MSM makes money. They don’t need to make sense. That’s asking too much./s

As to the drone incident it looks like Lindsey Graham is trying to make the Russians and Tucker Carlson upset by saying this:

that the U.S. should shoot down Russian planes if they “ever get near another U.S. asset flying in international waters.”

Wait until his master, Trump weighs in on this, and I expect Graham to walk back his statements.

Everytime the Russians mention their nukes we should remind them that we have nukes too but ours work.

Tacopina is fun, but I want Sidney Powell’s time travel lady. This is transcendent bullshit, and really Fox should pay a billion dollars simply for polluting the cable feed with that stuff.

The author of the memo in which Powell and Bartiromo put so much stock offered detailed and utterly false claims of how Dominion Voting Systems helped rig the election for Biden. She also shared a bit about herself, writing that she gains insights from experiencing something “like time-travel in a semi-conscious state.”

Joe Tacopina was all over the cable networks when he had Alex Rodriguez, well-known steroid-user, as his client. He was a loud, obnoxious jerk then, still a loud, obnoxious jerk.

As for the fire in Guo’s penthouse, I hypothesize it started from stuffing too many documents in the fireplace at once. I wonder if they were all his, or were some passed to him by Stevie to hold for a third party.

Joe Tacopino might have some of his own legal problems defending Trump, since he defended Julian Khater for his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection. His client was sentenced to seven years in prison for using bear spray on the Capitol police officers, including Brian Sicknick, who died the next day following two strokes . Tacopino stated at Khater’s trial that January 6th was the fault of Donald J. Trump.

Now, Tacopino happens to be Trump’s lawyer in the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit. It makes one wonder who is paying Tacopino’s legal fees for Trump.

Yes. He accidentally stumbled into a bit of patriotism and righteous indignation. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. He knows which side his bread is buttered.

Not even a first world problem. More like a 0.001% problem and I couldn’t be less interested.

I read it as Lindell lending money to MyPillow in order to prop it up. No sane lender would expect to be repaid.

I wonder which “woke” bank lent him $10 million. I doubt they’re sleeping well anymore.
