I live in Thailand.

In Thai the word that sounds like 'Alina' means "WHAT?"

True, but...well...how about good looking then? We know it's only superficial, but that will be a plus for the world of Fox.

Another Trump lawyer is gonna be disappointed when they don't get paid.

I can’t figure out if that was her plan, or if she’s so stupid that she truly didn’t think through the consequences of her order. Probably a bit of both.

In any event, I can’t think of any circumstances under which the DOJ is going to turn over classified documents, which by definition CANNOT be subject to attorney-client or executive privilege. The risk is just too great to let the order stand as is. Even if the SM manages to get all the required clearances, what happens if/when there’s a dispute, and the judge weighs in to resolve? DOJ sure as fuck isn’t going to hand over classified documents to this judge.

I really, really hopes she takes the off-ramp and grants the motion to stay, but my faith is limited. For the love of dawg, woman, at least try putting national security ahead of TFG’s hurt fee-fees!

Enough of them got stiffed that the white shoe firms who traditionally represent Republicans wouldn't take him on as a client.

Also he's a terrible client not just because he stiffs his lawyers but also because he lies literally all the time -- and as it has already been demonstrated, that's also the LAWYER'S reputation (and potentially his/her license, like that Bobb girl who ... I don't know if she was pressured by them to put her name on something she hadn't seen or reviewed or is just as unintelligent as she sounds on tv, but ...).

I remember reading long time ago that lawyers who worked for him would not met with him unless another one was present because he would lie about what he said in the meeting.

Was it in WaPo?

Around the Mueller investigation?

Ha. Failure to state a claim is a judicial loogey right in the fucking eye. Also too, in order to be a martyr, you have to actually die, asshole.

It's been a long time since I've had to diagram a sentence but "When you have a Clinton judge here, Judge Middlebrooks, who I had asked to recuse himself, but insisted that he didn't need to, that he was going to be impartial." isn't one. I don't remember a whole lot about it but isn't there supposed to be a subject and a predicate and all that other stuff, not just a whole bunch of words and then a period at the end?

Seems like it went back to even before he was president. Lawyers dealing with regular Trump business bullshit.

Habba's teeth are amazingly white.

"At its core, the problem with Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint is that Plaintiff is not attempting to seek redress for any legal harm; instead, he is seeking to flaunt a two-hundred-page political manifesto outlining his grievances against those that have opposed him, and this Court is not the appropriate forum,"

Doctor, quick! We need some ice for a SEVERE BURN!

The above-listed is a clause.IIRC, if the word "When" would have been omitted, it would have been something closer to a sentence."You [subject] have [predicate] a Clinton judge [direct object], who I had asked to recuse himself [modifying phrase]... etc."
