Another day, another Trump lawyer flipping. Third one this week I believe.
Also I believe Trump is expected to face off against former lawyer/fixer Michael Cohen in court today, so that should be fun.

All their bravado is dropping away. In the end, I wonder how many will plea out.

I heard something about that on the radio today. The defense is expected to say that Cohen is a known liar and can’t be trusted on the witness stand. To which the prosecution is expected to say “We didn’t pick this guy. Trump picked this guy.”

Yeah that seems to be the refrain from the MAGA folks every time someone from his inner circle turns on him. His lawyers are snakes! His cabinet incompetent! His generals are traitors! The people running his businesses are crooks! (But please vote for him because he has all the best people).

Rumors had swirled for weeks that Ellis might be among those seeking a plea deal — in part because of her public complaints that Trump was unwilling to pay her mounting legal bills.
So she worked for free, for a guy known to stiff those in his employ, and didn’t get quit even after Giuliani farted at her at least* twice (*as captured on video). I can see where the threat of imprisonment is just a bridge too far, but OTOH I can’t help but wonder how her decision tree (heretofore) got her thru law school & the bar exam.

Probably well past time we abandoned the theory that only intelligent people who make good decisions are capable of becoming lawyers.

ETA:
For people that get blocked by a paywall, the relevant bit:
“Mr. President," a reporter asked Trump on Monday, “you said Sidney Powell wasn’t your attorney, are you concerned that you won’t be covered by attorney-client privilege?”
“No, not at all,” Trump replied. "We did nothing – This is all Biden. Indictments, and impeachments, and this is all about Biden, he can’t do anything right. The only thing they know how to do is cheat on elections and election fraud. This is all Biden’s. All of these indictments that you see. I was never indicted. Practically never heard the word. It wasn’t a word that registered.”

Davis said it “is pretty bizarre” that Trump is essentially arguing he is not beholden to the U.S. Constitution.
