    I hate the terminology of ‘prosecutor set a trap’ or ‘perjury trap’ if you remember when Mueller wanted to get Trump to testify under oath. It might be a trap in the sense of catching someone, but it gives off this sense of plotting and scheming to unjustly nab an unknowing innocent being that was just going about its business, like when you trap a rabbit or something.

    It’s not a trap. Trump doesn’t have a good defense because he did do the thing he is accused of. A horseback cavalry charge against a machine gun isn’t “a clever trap by the machine gunner” one side just has the tools to win, and the other side doesn’t.

    Trick that I expect Trump to pull that the article doesn’t talk about:

    Trump will pull presidential privilege, national security, or the ever popular “I don’t remember” when asked to explain details.

    I was in civil court before and almost fucked up by submitting previous emails from a former lawyer of mine. Glad my attorney caught it and mentioned the shitstorm it would start.

    What I don’t understand is how someone who has been dealing with lawsuits his whole life could be so stupid?

      He has $40 million worth of legal advice, it’s not being stupid or uninformed. They’re giving the best possible defense, and it’s a very bad one.
