Taking advantage of our ‘weakness?’
Thanks in advance!
still not convinced garland will go after him.
just a repeat of mueller time?
yeah that brought trump to his knees.....
but he used to rely on the services of competent lawyers. Now he can't get a good lawyer to represent him, so he's relying primarily on his own "very, very large brain". Guess he's just following his gut these days! 
that one of the big reasons most attorneys won't represent him is that he won't follow advice and insists they do what he wants. 
I'm sure you're thinking of that now!
He's set legal trumpster fires by the thousands. My guess is his competent attorneys probably relied as heavily as the ones now on threatening claimants (as tRump requires), delay-delay-delay until they give up, bankruptcy as a nuclear cheat, and of course as a last recourse throwing money at legal problems tRump couldn't cheat out of existence.
Oh, of course they'd also have needed careful practices to insulate themselves from liability for tRump's constant lies and SOP evidence destruction -- one place there must have been more competence than in the current clown car load. Though Cohen did go to prison, and guessing others may still.
God! This depraved thing really became POTUS. Our daughter told me I haven't lost my mind and it's not all a senile dream.
Oh, well. Thanksgiving's demanding attention. 
And I think he's been through all the halfway competent ones who will put up with his endless crap. Now he'll be lucky to find one advertised on a park bench who will take his case(s). I guess he thought there was an endless supply! It also doesn't help that he wasn't good about paying for their services! He may have to resort to representing himself - I'd pay to see that!
In fact, I feel pretty sure he'd be glad to testify to congress if he could sell tickets to a national audience -- and just plan to deal with the legal problems that generated later. Supposedly his advisers had/have to talk him out of choosing to perform for that national audience anyway.
but I'm pretty sure Garland would know. I've just assumed the DoJ always had a number of ways to proceed, each with its own plusses and minuses which would change with the situation, each involving different possible substrategies. Yet another of many changes as this proceeds?
Just occurred to me that even multi-dimensional chess players don't typically have to consider time as a complicating factor at all. None of them ever have to strategize around the various MAGA party's moves and tRump's rages and rule-smashing ego either.
imply too that it's not only about the process taking " as long as it takes, it takes"?
Not trying to be difficult...just seems like mixed messages
any one of which might have to become adopted, taking as long as that course would take. If that choice'd take too long to succeed, though, as in handing the opposition a sure time-weapon to win, that'd be a rule-out.
I just always assume time's going to be one of the biggest and most critical factors in whatever's happening, a giant, potentially nuclear asset/weapon/liability both sides will struggle to use to win. At least I'm never disappointed in that assumption alone.
All sides keep what they know and plan secret. They're all constantly examining every change in circumstance for changes in time factors and what others will then try to do with those, yada-yada, complexities, tradeoffs, effects on future decisions, creation of more time issues to turn into time bombs. Etc. I don't even bother to try to guess.
Just thinking about this is making me wish it were cocktail time. Come to think of it, it would be if I were with our daughter on the beach in Cozumel...
