[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 17 points 3 years ago (1 child) What I don’t understand is how someone who has been dealing with lawsuits his whole life could be so stupid? He has $40 million worth of legal advice, it's not being stupid or uninformed. They're giving the best possible defense, and it's a very bad one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jonne@infosec.pub 11 points 3 years ago* Eh, he's not exactly hiring the best lawyers. In any other situation the best law firms would be jumping at the chance to defend a former president, but due to past behaviour (not paying, not following advice, committing additional crimes, asking lawyers to commit crimes for him), he's only hiring rubes and crazies. permalink fedilink source parent
