The main thing that took tfg’s Access Hollywood tape out of the public eye was the James Comey news conference about Hillary’s emails. That was exactly 11 days prior to the election, and imho, was actually election interference. If Comey had not made that accusation, she probably would have won the election.

IANAL. That being said I do not understand why the GA District Attorney's personal life with an Investigator on her team merits him being removed from his job, and her from her office. Am I wrong or is the job of the DA not to uncover facts that can be used to prosecute a person for criminal behavior? Why is it unprofessional, where is the impropriety, and what laws or rules have they broken or compromised?

As a fellow attorney, I value your perspective on these cases. Prosecutors indeed need to be dogged. Go Jack Smith! You got this!

“Two years! The Trump University case was effectively neutralized for two years — and then it suddenly resulted in the first major legal loss he ever suffered, and at $25 million, still to this day the biggest one he’s ever paid out.”

I wholeheartedly agree, great newsletter. That said, are you sure Trump actually paid this settlement out of his own pocket? The case didn’t conclude until after the election was resolved, and Trump had just raised over $150 for his inauguration from donors, looking for access during his presidency.

Just saying….:)

I am not a lawyer. I have a question - can Congress pass a law that says "Presidential Pardon power does not apply to a President who wishes to pardon himself for criminal felonies or civil liabilities?"

Or, could President Biden issue an executive order that says the same? Congress would have to overturn the executive order, so even if Trump wins but Democrats take the house and hold the Senate, Trump would be plagued with the 4 major legal problems he's currently delaying for the entire 4 years of the Presidency we are all working to make sure never happens.

Food for thought:

What if the GQP plan is to let tRUMP go to prison, then make JD Vance President?

With Alex Jones & Mike Flynn ‘discussing’ TFG’s martyrdom likely fueling assassination attempts,Don-olds bizarre speeches and possible jail time, the Republicans may be going with ‘plan B’.
