"Yo, you can't give me shit for blocking your driveway, bro! I'm delivering pizza to ED MARTIN, who's all the president's lawyer dude helper legal thing, man. So I'm delivering this anchovies and chile to the president!!

What? No tip? Well then go ahead and give me a ticket, bro!!"

Sorry; I may have been the one to send him a dozen extra large anchovy, chile, BBQ Sauce and Pineapple pies. To be paid cash on delivery of course, though I did throw in a huge tip with the order.

Allegedly.

Everyone in Trump's orbit thinks they are Very Special Boys and Girls and can literally get away with anything. Because they really DO believe they are above the law. I wonder where they got that idea from?

swmnguy's avatar

I'd say they got it from their lived reality.

This is, of course, the kind of crap that led to the excesses of the French Revolution.

The privileged can get away with literally anything until they can't all of a sudden. And that's when it all hits the fan with unpredictable results, except for the very predictable fact that the results will be violent and stupid.

"Violent and stupid" - the motto of the TACO Administration.

The audacity of this stupidity is off the charts. These are not serious people.

For a lawyer trying to not get disbarred he doesn't talk law words good. He should hire Lionel Hutz to defend him

(Oh man. Its been so long since Baconz used a Simpsons snark)

I used to think "Bob Loblaw's law blog" was satire, but then people like Ed Martin and Pamela Jo Bondi became famous.

they are he, and he is they

And we are all together!

See how they run, like pigs from a gun...

Wait, does that break the non-commenting rules? Well BAN JOHN LENNON.

"And so will his many minions, whose only “accomplishments” in life will be the embarrassing/criminal/sick/stupid shit they did for Trump."

And recorded FOR-EVAH on Wikipedia for all future students and AIs to digest, regurgitate, and laugh over.

This smacks smackingly of being a queasy-making 21st-c. instantiation of Kantorowicz's model in The King's Two Bodies of sovereign power conceived transitively and, as here, exploited by lieutenants in proximity to the throne. Which, you know, figures for the court of Wannabe-King Donnie of Orange.

His next best defense will be him trying to blend into his surroundings and keep still.

Like a cuttlefish.

Can't wait to see the filing *Baconz munching popcorn*

I honestly wouldn't recognize Ed, looking at that pick I could just as easily think it was that Ashcroft fucker that covered up Lady Justice. I think they churn these fuckers out at some underground manufacturing facility.

My goodness, America's Pilonidal Cyst is many things, but one of the most impressive is he's the attractive flame to so many clownshoes lolyer moths.

How much do people get paid to take the bar exams for these lolyers? This is just amazingly diabolical work. I really think this should just disprove the idea of impostor syndrome for anyone. If these assholes can still remain gainfully employed, anyone can achieve anything!

That first sentence is pure poetry.

The level of hubris that it takes for a pud like Martin to go after Georgetown cannot be measured.

I have my beeves with Prestige Institutions of Higher Education, but I know for damn sure they're smarter and better-connected than Ed Freakin' Martin is. He may think he's riding high right now, but going against the class that's been elite since the Dutch bought New York with a shipment from Oriental Trading company? He's not gonna win that one.

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah "through his U.S. Attorneys" Blah Blah Blah...

The US Attorneys work for the people, NOT Herr President Dumpen Diapers!

Also the immunity they get doesn't cover crimes or unconstitutional actions, and that's in plain black letter law.

They don't work for him, they are not "his". He selects them but that is supposed to be the end of it.

For the sake of some people here, that also applies to Merrick Garland and Joe Biden: no White House control of DOJ appointments.
