Trump Special Master Filing Merely A ‘PR Document,’ Says Fmr. Federal Judge

“I’ve checked the legal cases that they’ve cited, and I would also give it a low grade,” says former federal judge Nancy Gertner on the legal basis of the Trump motion to appoint a special master. “It is a public relations document.”

All of his lawyers end up needing lawyers. I'd be begging for mercy and he's out there filing lawsuits. He's NUTS.

[rikcab]

Traitor needs to be treated like every other accused criminal.

[alenelevin]

Why should we give him any more chances to do more damage?

[DD-gikx]

I sure hope he gets to the point where no lawyer will touch him and he gets a court appointed public defender

“Trump’s position that he may override the express will of the executive branch appears to be premised on the notion that his executive power exists in perpetuity.
But Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President."
-- Judge Tanya S. Chutkan

Mic drop.  🎤

A former President of the United States files a bizarre motion in federal court that looks like something a pro se litigant with less knowledge than "a jailhouse lawyer" would file. I could say that I'm amazed and appalled, but that would be disingenuous of me. This is exactly what one should expect from this criminal, and clown.

"An eviction case filed in the Hague" Priceless!!!

If PR stands for “Penal Retirement”, I agree. Dude could have just retired and lived a great life - instead his ego will take him from a Florida winter home, to club Fed. What a putz

[drorbenami]

And...Trump's favorite lawyer: Roy Cohn was dis barred....

[darrylwhite]

What a joke. Put this clown in prison!!!!

[kathyd]

"If You don't like the the Magistrate is doing then go pick your own judge then the whole system begins to crumble."
Isn't that Trump's goal?

[gregghoshovsky]

The media should start referring to Trump as "citizen Trump' so that he has no special position in society.

[NatureSoundRetreat]

: What I can do.. let me know".. Turn yourself in.. End story.

[Cleanblack]

He knew the documents were secret that's why he took them period.

[thomasclark]

YOU CAN'T FILE A MOTION WITHOUT A CASE YET FILED. There's no motion to file against a case. And it's merely a narration/rant at that. The JUDGE HAD TO SHOW THEM HOW TO FILE ONE. The man is a dullard.

[standupFYR]

Do you know the sad thing about this is that none of the Maga supporters can comprehend or follow any of this

[cck]

PR document, delay tactic. Whatever. If we all agree to regard 45 as a supervillain, do you think he'd happily knock it off already? He's got to be the most draining person on earth. 😵‍💫

On Tuesday, the Florida judge informed two lawyers representing former President Donald J. Trump, neither of them licensed in the state, that they had bungled routine paperwork to take part in a suit filed following the F.B.I.’s search this month of Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club.

“A sample motion can be found on the Court’s website, ” the judge instructed them in her order. Ouch!

Want to turn the heat down? Admit your a crook and turn yourself over to the authorities.
Love how they picked up the “special master” tactics right Ari Melber’s guest mentioned that’s what he would have done weeks ago.
