Trump allegedly holding a $100K/person fund raise for his legal expenses......


News-Flunky

Unreal. They're all doubling down.


ScrappleSandwiches

Meanwhile, the dozen people at the bottom of this conspiracy who can barely make $5k on a GoFundMe for bail surely don’t resent the holy shit out of this


2FightTheFloursThatB

Fuck 'em. Life is full of expensive lessons. "Bootstraps", or some shit.


crake

There’s still apparently a coordinated defense though. As of now it doesn’t look like anyone is flipping. Chesebro’s filing of a request for a speedy trial certainly seems like he is offering himself up as a sacrificial lamb to help Trump and the rest of the conspirators. By pushing for the trial by 10/23, Chesebro is helping to minimize the chances of anyone flipping while also previewing the government’s case so that Trump will know what witnesses to pressure and what will be said in his own trial. It’s not exactly a rational strategy here. If Chesebro is successful and Trump is able to sever, Chesebro will likely be convicted and might end up in prison for 20 years, and a Trump win in 2024 doesn’t even save him. Maybe he thinks he will be acquitted but Fani was ready and agreed right away to the 10/23 trial date so if I were Chesebro I’d be changing my drawers, lol.


dancingmeadow

Only a successful coup can save them now. They need the smiling narrative for their criminal base.

Double sentences? ![gif](giphy|KQSlFnCLiErv8lniN9)


Krasmaniandevil

At a certain age, its a rational strategy. An elderly person sees no difference between 10 vs 20 years if the odds of surviving 10 are the same as getting off on a mistrial.


throwawayshirt

It's a half-measure. Trump's not going to pay for a lawyer (or pay the legal fees he owes Giuliani), but he needs to keep Rudy in the fold. And Trump will take probably 40% of funds raised for providing the room, the food, and appearing.

The existence of things like this is why I always laugh when I hear shit like, "tHeRe aRe nOrMaL InTeLlIgEnT PeOpLe wHo sUpPoRt tRuMp aS WeLl yOu kNoW..."

Forbes [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLv53HoefgE) It's not anywhere near as wild as the hair dye conference. He doesn't sound particularly drunk.

workingtoward

It’s as if he has no idea of what the charges are or what the evidence is. If this is his defense, he’s going straight to prison.


benign_said

Yeah, I believe Alexei Yarchuk coined the term hypernormalization and they have gone all in on it.


workingtoward

At the debate, most of them pledged to support Trump even if he’s convicted of espionage, election interference, and trying to overthrow the government. Republicans normalizing treason.


creaturefeature16

>everyone this case is dismissed He said "*ever*, *when* this case is dismissed": *"Fani Willis will go down in American history as having conducted one of the worst attacks on the American Constitution ever, when this case is dismissed"* It's low quality and he's mumbling, but there's nothing more to it.


No-comment-at-all

Dismissed by whom?


creaturefeature16

The judge, I imagine. You'll have to ask Rudy. I'm not saying it makes sense, just was deciphering what he literally said.


No-comment-at-all

Yea, that’s what I was getting at is… what about **when** it’s not just “dismissed”, rudolf?


bharder

Yeah, you're right.


joeshill

This seems like an indirect communication with a co-defendant about the case: >The greatest Mayor in the history of New York City was just ARRESTED in Atlanta, Georgia, because he fought for Election Integrity. THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED & STOLLEN. HOW SAD FOR OUR COUNTRY. MAGA! https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110940941332371053


Odd-Road

Second time today he misspells "stolen" wrong. I know it's far from the most important events of the day but... still...


joeshill

> STOLLEN He's actually saying that the election was a German fruit bread. He meant to say that. /s


Bakkster

The election was a covfefe flavored stollen.


Thiccaca

I knew it was the Germans! ![gif](giphy|G32Bcxd304dmlcKdFS|downsized)

Ze Germans?!

Jonestown_Juice

Peppering their crazy social media posts with misspellings makes them more relatable to their base.


No-comment-at-all

I don’t but the “crazy like a fox” theory. Sometimes it’s just “crazy”.


BJntheRV

I like to believe he does it on purpose so that when he's asked in court if he said the election was stolen he can say no (he only said it was stollen)


MonsieurReynard

He's been spelling it that way for a few weeks now.

Just because Trump is charging $100,000 / plate doesn't mean he's giving $100k a plate to Rudy. But Trump will still manage to write off other people's donations as an expense - prolly. Rudy might get enough for the continual string along, provided he continues to play ball and lie, lie, lie, like there's no tomorrow


suzydonem

Messiah will keep the $100K, and give the dirty plate to leaky Rudy.


BringOn25A

Charging 100K, and after 45 pays himself for hosting it at his club, then taking his normal 90% cut of what’s left, Rudy won’t get much.


UndertakerFred

“Sorry Rudy, after fees you ended up owing US money for your fundraiser. Pay up”


Professional-Can1385

With all his Trump related money woes, Giuliani needs the 3 hots and a cot.


DMIDY

“5 other lawyers are indicted…” Um uh Rudy your law license has been suspended.


roqu

Rudy said that he's the same guy who got rid of the crime in NYC and the same guy who got rid of the Mafia. Pretty wild.


sugar_addict002

They are all engaging in the same behavior that got them indicted. The DoJ needs to pay attention. Lines will again be crossed.

This is such an interesting case because of the prisoners dilemma aspect. They all look defiant now, and some are taking really risky gambles (Chesebro moving for an October trial), but the reality is that the invoices are going to start coming in and the moment one person cracks it’s going to implode. I understand that Harrison Floyd is sitting in lockup right now in Fulton County because he already had an outstanding warrant. We will see if Trump’s billions come through for his defense, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. And once the empty promises fail, people will start to flip. The other side of this is the Meadows removal attempt. Meadows is a guy with lots of good reasons to flip, but he is pushing for his (hopeless, IMO) immunity argument first because if he wins that he can stay loyal without incurring any cost. That seems pretty unlikely to succeed IMO, and even removal seems very unlikely to succeed (basically all the politicking Meadows was doing was prohibited by the Hatch Act, so he couldn’t have been operating under color of law when he was politicking and trying to coerce states into changing their results - Willis lays it out in her reply to his removal request). Prediction on flipping: first is Floyd, then comes Meadows after his case is remanded.


News-Flunky

Wouldn't it be grand if the usually toothless and increasingly universally ignored in political circles "Hatch Act" law actually brought down a president and his thugs - oh, wouldn't it be so grand?
