You can't cover everything. Trump's got five cases in the next nine months, and I bet that feels like he's about to give birth to quintuplets. And tracking all the side characters like Bernie Kerik (turning over docs), Giuliani (selling his house), John Eastman (asking for his disbarment proceedings to be postponed because he's getting indicted)....whew! I'm petty, but I just can't be that kind of compleatist.
But I am the kind of petty to point out that Dark Brandon is definitely in Trump's head based on yesterday's court filing. Apparently, the touting of the campaign merch is supposedly tweaking Trump based on his recent indictment. So says the Trump team.
Yeah. He's here to eat ice cream and put you in prison and he's all out of ice cream, jack.
It's absurd. Of course, it has nothing to do with Trump, but that his lawyers put it in there suggests it was on the client's mind. In the just the way his lawyers have to always be on the various chat shows, because if they aren't on television, how does Trump even know they are working? Of course, he wants to try this, and all of his cases, in the court of public opinion and make them political spectacles.
It's both legally and politically questionable. But he's welcome to it. If it helps his obviously concerned state of mind.
UPDATE: I'm just going to throw this down here, but I really think I like Judge Chutkan. She ordered the sides to get their act together by Friday to discuss the protective order--Friday. And the DOJ said, "Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, we're good." And Trump's lawyers thought it would be funny to say "How's next week?"
So she said, "Fine. 10 AM Friday." And now they should understand whose court this is.
