Whatever Trump’s reasoning, it gave MSNBC (at least) an excuse to extensively feature footage of Ron DeSantis with cheering Iowa crowds. I will admit that this may be schadenfreude in relation to Donald—but it’s something else entirely in relation to Ron. Let’s hope we are NOT at the beginning of a “news narrative” about a DeSantis resurgence… ---

Another one of trumps lawyers needs a lawyer. Tim Parlatore who was representing him in connection with the document theft criminal investigation and Trump’s concealment of those records in Mar-A-Lago.

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > I am waiting for the time that one of the lawyers that Trump’s lawyer had to hire gets caught hiding evidence and needs to hire their own lawyer. My bet is that it’ll be one of Ghouliani’s. I mean, he’s at that stage, as a Trump lawyer who’s gotten his own lawyers, and I’m pretty sure he’s not being honest and forthcoming with them, and if his latest complication (his sexual assault with apparent recordings) is fully verified, it may well be that some of his attorneys had/has knowledge of what was going on… But since with that group, it’s always a race to the bottom, another lawyered up Trump attorney could find himself in the crapper before one of RG’s. ---

Trump has a lawyer named Jim Trusty. I can’t hardly type this I’m laughing so hard. I’m linking into the middle but this is basically part 2 of the Tim Parlatore story. [https://youtu.be/gOBxbcIb6HM?t=118](https://youtu.be/gOBxbcIb6HM?t=118) ---

> [@Sylvanz](#): > > I was listening descriptions of gouhlianis sex shenanigans last night, and I barely kept from gagging. Just the thought makes me want to peel my skin off. Then better don’t read the pit thread about the case where it’s laid out quite graphically (only by excerpts from the court input from the victim’s legal team). Gag-inducing, indeed. ---
