Changes in Trump's Legal Team: Trump's legal team experiences another change as Drew Findling leaves, with Steven Seidau taking over. Reasons for Findling's departure are unclear, but theories suggest disagreements over consent order or unpaid fees.
The legal team representing Donald Trump continues to experience changes as he prepares to surrender to authorities. Drew Findling, a well-known lawyer who has represented high-profile clients like Cardi B, recently left Trump's team. The reasons for his departure are unclear, with conflicting reports suggesting he was fired or resigned. Some theories suggest Findling may have been unhappy with Trump's repeated violation of the consent order negotiated by him with the Fulton County District Attorney. Another theory is that Trump failed to pay Findling. Regardless, Steven Seidau has now entered the picture as Trump's new lawyer, and has issued a statement expressing Trump's innocence and denouncing political persecution. The chaos and instability within Trump's legal team is a recurring theme, and this latest development is just another example.
Trump's social media attacks may violate consent bond order: Former President Trump's social media posts potentially breached his consent bond order, leading to his lawyer Drew Findling's departure. Trump's aggressive behavior and Findling's reputation for client loyalty made his decision to take on the case unexpected.
Former President Donald Trump's social media posts, which included threats and attacks against witnesses, the city of Atlanta, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, could be considered violations of the consent bond order he agreed to. This order prohibits Trump from attacking or intimidating witnesses, the community, or codefendants through social media. Drew Findling, Trump's attorney, could have chosen to end their representation due to these violations. Trump may have also been frustrated with the consent order and felt the need for a more powerful lawyer. Findling, known for his firm stance with clients, might have warned Trump against such behavior and could have chosen to leave the representation if Trump continued. The fact that Trump is not paying Findling anymore and Findling's reputation for standing firm with clients adds to the surprise of him taking on the representation in the first place.
Price of Loyalty to Trump: Public Embarrassment: Loyalty to Trump requires unwavering commitment, even if it means damaging reputation and facing embarrassment in public
Loyalty to former President Donald Trump comes with a high price. Lawyers who represent him must be fully committed and willing to go to great lengths, including damaging their own reputations and potentially facing criminal charges. Drew Findling, a prominent Atlanta attorney, recently appeared on MSNBC's "The Beat with Ari Melber" and defended Trump's actions regarding the Georgia election. However, his performance was criticized as awkward and embarrassing. Findling, who has had adversarial relationships with some of the prosecutors in the hip hop Rico cases he's handled, may have sought attention. Nevertheless, his appearance was a humiliating experience. Findling acknowledged that Trump lost the Georgia election and that those claiming to be the duly elected electors were lying. Despite this, he refused to make political statements during the interview. It's clear that representing Trump requires an unwavering commitment, even if it means enduring public embarrassment.
Eco-friendly choices don't have to be uncomfortable: Switch to eco-friendly toilet paper like Real Paper for comfort, convenience, and sustainability. Prioritize your focus on what matters most to you.
Making eco-friendly choices doesn't have to mean sacrificing comfort or convenience. The speaker shared her experience of switching to Real Paper, a 100% bamboo toilet paper that grows quickly, can be harvested sustainably, and is recyclable. She praised its comfort, availability through hassle-free subscriptions, and eco-friendly packaging. The speaker also emphasized the importance of making a change for the planet, even if it's something as simple as switching to eco-friendly toilet paper. On a different note, the speaker expressed her focus on her work as a criminal defense attorney and her unwillingness to acknowledge the outcome of the Georgia election. She made it clear that her priority is on her clients and the legal process, rather than political matters. Overall, the discussion highlighted the importance of making small changes in our daily lives to contribute to the greater good, whether it's through eco-friendly choices or staying focused on our priorities.
Lawyer's evasive tactics and loss of credibility in high-profile case: In high-profile cases, addressing central questions directly is crucial. Evasive tactics and focusing on irrelevant matters can lead to a loss of credibility and unnecessary distractions from the main issue.
During this discussion, it was emphasized that when representing a client, particularly one with a high-profile case like Donald Trump, it's crucial to address the central questions directly. In this context, the central question was whether Trump perpetrated a criminal enterprise scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which was widely acknowledged as free and fair. When asked about this on a political show, and despite the consensus that the election was unquestionably free and fair, the lawyer, Findling, appeared to evade the question and instead focused on other matters. This behavior was criticized as a loss of credibility and an unnecessary distraction from the main issue. Furthermore, in another instance, Findling expressed doubts about the district attorney's involvement in the case, but the focus should have been on his own role in the proceedings. Ultimately, the conclusion was that Findling should no longer be part of the case due to a lack of trust in his ability to handle it effectively.
