One lawyer quits team Trump, while another says evidence "will lead to a conviction & prison time"




It's getting harder and harder to keep track of all the lawyers who are quitting team Trump. Another one - Tim Parlatore - just announced he's leaving Trump's defense team after testifying before the grand jury about the stolen classified documents probe.

Parlatore's trajectory is reminiscent of what happened to criminal defense attorney Evan Corcoran. Special Counsel Jack Smith defeated multiple privilege claims and compelled Corcoran to testify about Trump in the same grand jury. Thereafter, Corcoran withdrew from representing Trump in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

Former Trump lawyer and fixer - not too mention former Attorney General - Bill Barr has also gone on record as saying Trump "is very exposed" in the documents case and that Trump's claims and excuses "aren't gonna fly." Finally, and most directly, one of Trump's former White House lawyers ,Ty Cobb, just told CNN that he believes Trump's documents crimes "will result in a conviction and prison time."

It's hard to believe all these attorneys who represented Trump are wrong about the likelihood that he will be indicted for his crimes. - Glenn Kirschner - 05/20/2023.

From attacking the Democrats and democracy - which the currently serving Republicans continue to regard as "marching orders."
