Legal experts and former prosecutors are widely panning former President Donald Trump’s team of lawyers as they continue grappling with the fallout from the FBI’s unprecedented Mar-a-Lago raid.
“They appear to be either completely incompetent, or out of their depth,” Renato Mariotti, a longtime former federal prosecutor, told Insider. “That’s part of the reason why the former president has trouble finding lawyers: because he demands that they file documents and take positions that have no legal support whatsoever.”
Relax, get yourself some popcorn, and read the entire article. It’s quite entertaining, especially the part about Tan the Conman’s lawyers risking their law licenses by filing what they’ve filed on his behalf.
OAN is swirling the toilet bowl - they’ve been dropped from every major cable provider and they are facing an immense lawsuit from Dominion without Fox’s deep pockets.
They have AT&T’s deep pockets, AT&T has a 70% ownership stake in the network.
I wonder if the plan is to agree to shut down OAN permanently as part of the plea deal with Dominion, and have a smaller settlement. Because it seems weird that OAN still exists when DirecTV dropped them, and AT&T has a 70% ownership of that also. I think it’s just part of a legal strategy,
But OAN is effectively gone. A channel that nobody can actually watch doesn’t really exist, does it? (That seems like it could make a Zen koan.)
I don’t think OAN ever had much viewer interest - Charter, Comcast, and Dish never carried it. DirecTV and Verizon have been close-mouthed about why they dropped it, but it probably just wasn’t worth the money. DirecTV dumped them outright when the contract expired, and Verizon said they were ‘unable to come to an agreement’ with them on a new contract.
