Ex-Trump documents attorney Jim Trusty has also quit as Trump’s attorney in his $475 million defamation lawsuit against CNN: > **[Trump lawyer who quit classified documents case withdraws from $475 million...](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/16/trump-lawyer-who-quit-docs-case-quits-cnn-defamation-suit.html?__source=androidappshare)** > > Jim Trusty, who just quit Trump's team in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, cited "irreconcilable differences" with the ex-president in the CNN suit. ---

Maybe Trusty’s burned through his upfront retainer. ---

A very fair interpretation. ---

I find it a bit amusing that within this article decrying cancel culture run amok, andand this poor woman being unfairly targeted for boycott due to their political beliefs we have a link to the article about just retribution that Garth Brooks is getting for having the temerity to serve Bud Light. Enough irony to fuel an Alanis Morissette world tour. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > Which is exactly why the magats do not and will not believe the truth of the matter. No, no, 1000 times no. The magats don’t believe anything that Biden says either. They don’t believe the truth of the matter for a lot of other reasons, which have been belabored on this board ad nauseum: they like to pwn the libs even at their own expense; they have too much emotionally invested in being wrong; they get all their news from dishonest lying liars who tell them what they want to hear; and so on. Don’t blame Biden’s very proper silence on legal matters currently in process for the idiocy of magats. ---

On multiple re-readings of what you quoted and commented on, and what you said about it, I cannot parse that into what you are saying now. However, I don’t especially want to argue about it, so I pass on without understanding. ---

I think all that he’s saying is that Biden being hands off is what is convincing the MAGAs that he is behind the the prosecution of Trump, because not matter what he says and does they will believe the opposite. In any case I don’t think its a criticism of anything Biden is doing. ---

Basically, he did not have time to find all of the classified documents he was hoarding because he was being dogged for hoarding classified documents.

And as aides voiced their concerns to him, the number of boxes began to eerily multiply. Mr. Trump began bringing in more and more boxes. Scattering them all over his abode. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > Others in the trump circle say he’d always been a bit of a hoarder — keeping trinkets, letters, and other memorabilia for years upon years. That really makes sense. Well, considering what a narcissist Trump is. Anything, anything at all that he thinks may give him value as a person is kept. ---
