Did Tr**p's Lawyers Set Him Up With The Selection Of The Special Master...

[global1]

I was surprised when the DOJ swiftly accepted Tr**p's choice of Judge Dearie as the Special Master. They didn't question that selection by TFG and jumped on it quickly.

Now as I see how Judge Dearie and the 11th Circuit handled this issue - I sit back and wonder if Tr**p's lawyers perhaps didn't really agree with how TFG wanted to handle this mess and suggested to him a Judge they knew wouldn't weigh in for Tr**p.

I'm wondering if his lawyers set him up?

1. I can't see it. They wouldn't risk their own careers to try to sabotage a client.

2. Trump to his lawyers: "You are making me very angry!'

No wonder the feds agreed so quickly. After that happened those clowns were like "oh shit"

3. I kind of wonder how he ended up on the list

I would have assumed that the list was pre-screened to only include Trump sycophants like Judge Cannon.

8. The story was that Judge Dearie was very upset about a Carter Paige thing and a FISA

Court...Trump thinks everyone is out for revenge I suppose. So Trump thought Dearie would hate and mistrust the FBI.

15. Hah hah

It's probably a good thing that they are lazy.

4. Isn't one of them prepaid $3MM?

That would be poetic justice if so.

5. Is this the special master

Everyone was bemoaning the last several days?

6. I don't think his attorneys set him up.

I believe they paved the way to give him exactly what he said he wanted. Isn't that what any of his attorneys have ever done?

7. I'm picturing the doj lawyers when they read tfg's motion adding deerie.

I'm seeing a roomful of stunned silent lawyers, looking at each other in shock with saying a word, and then bursting out in hoots of joy and high fiving each other.

I bet they are still pinching their little lawyer butts.

9. It's a great way for his Attorneys to not go to jail, if Donald Trump just loses

🤷🏾‍♀️

10. They fragged him.

11. No.

The Special Master was never important to the investigation. Other than separating out some personal papers his rulings were never going to impact the final result. BTW where are all the people who said Judge Dearie was a Trump judge and the 11th Circuit were Trump judges who would side with Trump? They seemed to have vanished...

12. They talk big, but then

Silence.

14. A Fair Question

Especially since those predictions turned out to be the opposite of what happened.

[viva la]

13. They are trying to get out of the situation which could entrap them into perjury.

They were passively refusing sort of ever to assert clearly in their pleadings what Trump kept saying about declassifying. They knew that was a lie, and knew they'd be risking their careers if they asserted that lie. So they wriggled around, never quite saying it, until the court and the special master saved them by saying that the issue was settled, there was no declassification.

I don't think they "threw" the case, but they made sure not to put into signed court pleadings that big lie of Trump's.

16. I don't think so,

I always see that Trump is running his own legal adventures, while using others law licenses. Like he did with politician’s he thought he own, he believes only he knows how to run things.

No actual thinking attorney would do most of the things they are being forced to do. Which is why he pay to pay upfront, and still only get level B and C attorneys.

He watched it on tv and said to himself, yeah I will do this. Then his lawyers phones ring, over and over.

Life is too short to need money that bad.
