I’m not a lawyer. I don’t pretend to be one, but I think it is not a good legal strategy, tactic, or idea as a defense lawyer to publicly describe the criminal conduct of your client. Just saying.
So when one of Trump’s lawyers went on NewsMax and said, “All he did was … option D” which was the idea of halting the counting of electoral votes the lawyer was saying Donnie T had committed the crime of interfering with a Congressional proceeding.
In the case of Donald Trump this kind of behavior is usually left up to Donald to do. Who can forget the many quoted line of, “All I want … which is one more than … Give me a break.”
Typically what the Trump strategy has been is to delay. Unfortunately for him, many of the claims he will make as to the reasons for delay have already been hashed out in the earlier Mar-a-Lago documents case.
The defense lawyers did try to get more time by saying that the 70 day for a speedy trial wasn’t enough and they needed an exception, ie more time. According to the legal experts listening to this they explained that the time to make that argument would be not at the indictment but at the August 28th meeting where the trial date will be set. Seems they are a little antsy.
