‘Midlife crisis:’ Pro-Trump lawyer Ken Chesebro’s road to Jan. 6 coup plotter

“He did go through what seems to be a very consequential midlife crisis a few years ago. He went from being a pretty serious Democrat…to being a right-wing activist,” says Jeffrey Toobin, who studied with Kenneth Chesebro at Harvard Law School.

These guys are absolute proof that money corrupts at every level.

His lawyers statement:
"... he's ready to move on with his life."

Oh, well, okay then, nevermind -- THAT makes ALL the difference.

What other convicted criminal would NOT like to just put it all behind them and move on with their lives -- as if nothing ever happened.
(Well, yeah, Trump nothwithstanding)

Well too bad. Because here's the thing:

It DID happen. And HE did it.
Sorry convict, no backsies -- are you kidding?

Only thing that is left is for the Cheezebro to name the GOP lawmakers who were involved with both the DC and GA cases.

Midlife crisis is buying a sports car not destroying democracy.

As a guy who’s having a mid-life crisis, I can still tell you that I’d never do this!

[davidjames]

A truly fabulous segment Chris. It's made my day over here in England. It's like something from a novel - *'The Mysterious World of Kenneth Chesebro'* 👍😎🇬🇧🍺

Chesebro wasn't having a mid-life crisis. He devised this plot back in the Gore-Bush election. He has always wanted to be seen as a clever guy. It's ambition, arrogant pride, and egotism.

There will always be people who liked crooks until they realised they have been robbed. 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

Another disgraced Trump pal goes down again.
Justice for America! !

[lolorosa]

He's not going to shut up, he knows he will only get fined

[paulpate]

mr bone spurs only wants 11, 780 lawsuits ! vote blue 💙 😊

President Biden announces better than expected new November jobs report. Investment in Rail infrastructure including first high speed rail, creating ten's of thousands of good paying jobs

They're all smart - until they get caught. Or, as Mike Tyson said, "they always have a plan until they get hit in the face."

[aprilrains]

Chesebro fell into the same trap as Elan Musk. Money does not make you smart...

Nixon: A president that became a crook
Trump: A crook that became a president

He won’t stop. And he won’t be jailed. The justices just keep saying, “Stop. Stop doing that. I’ll get mad. Really. I’lll get upset…”. Just like the mother that never disciplines their child.

[teresadragstream]

I’ve always wondered who gave Cheeseboro the black eye before he submitted for fingerprinting.

[olinewright]

he should be gagged from speaking about Smith's family

[travelgranny]

Can you believe the judge has to deal with this? This is like dealing with a 4th grader bully. Ridiculous.

[dannmarceau]

Cheese-bro🧀 is a textbook example of Rick Wilson's "everything he touches... dies."
