In a letter to Judge Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing the case, Tacopina wrote, “I write to respectfully inform the Court that my firm, Chad Seigel and I hereby withdraw as counsel for Defendant Donald J. Trump in this proceeding,” …
Tacopina was one of the most accomplished trial lawyers on Trump’s legal team, with a long history of criminal case victories…
He declined to comment further on his withdrawal as Trump’s attorney.
If I had to guess, I’d say that Trump was refusing to follow legal advice from the team, or alternately that Trump was demanding that the legal team conduct illegal activities.
Joe Tacopina sounds like ‘Joey Tapioca’, which sounds like a stereotypical mobster name. Since Little Donnie Fail-Fail fancies himself a Don (heh), I have to call Tacopina ‘Joey Tapioca’.
If taco pina colada
And getting caught in the rain
Makes no sense as a lyric
We’re gonna sing it again…
(Awkward Devo transition)
We must repeat
We must repeat
We must repeat
Look, I want to believe Trump stinks, and shits himself regularly. It would be great. He deserves to be that, and we deserve to point and laugh at that.
But if he were that bad, I’d really think we’d be hearing about this way before now. He’s spent time with literally thousands of people in the last 8 years, and surely if he were that bad it would have been well reported by now.
I’m not prepared to allow myself the joy of believing it.
Turnberry golf course has succumbed to administrative expenses.
“Revenues for Aberdeen actually jumped by nearly 75 percent to nearly $4.6 million in 2022, with more than $1.27 million in gross profit, but the company was dragged under by more than $1.9 million in administrative expenses.”
So it seems that Donald’s usual technique of taking his cut at the beginning and leaving other suckers to take the losses also applies to his sons. Sucks to be them.
