Hey @kenwhite.bsky.social - is it a good idea to publicly wave all attorney client privilege defenses before your upcoming trial?

After Sidney Powell takes a plea deal in Fulton County, Trump posts: "MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS"

I don't see how this would waive the privilege. But I can understand enjoying dunking on Trump.

efitzhume.bsky.social•498 days ago

It doesn’t matter. Privilege wouldn’t protect their discussions from disclosure.

Is this the same case where he was planning to use an Advice of Counsel defense?

danielsand.bsky.social•498 days ago

Schrödinger’s lawyer.
Based on how you approach the bench - Powell is simultaneously his attorney for all defense matters and not his attorney for all prosecution matters.

I could practically hear "well that's just being considerate."

areaman65.bsky.social•498 days ago

I don’t know about that, but I do want some stollen.

cajohns.bsky.social•498 days ago

Mmmmmmm…stollen

getghandi.bsky.social•498 days ago

I just know his current lawyers have fantasies about Donald Trump, being strapped down like Hannibal, Lecter, facemask, and something equivalent for his fingers.

wendymadarling.bsky.social•498 days ago

If I were his lawyer, I’d be taking secret malicious pleasure in his, um, lack of discretion.

and a cork.

weirdlilctydweller.bsky.social•498 days ago

To keep him from talking out his ass?

tonydaniel.bsky.social•498 days ago

They'd have to plug both holes then.

hellsop.ninehells.com•498 days ago

That works too.

shoutingboy.bsky.social•498 days ago

could go for some stollen rn ngl #RiggedAndStollen

Trump's statement has a real "Billie Jean" vibe.

"SIDNEY POWELL WAS NOT MY LAWYER".

bullgooseparty.bsky.social•498 days ago

At least he put it in writing

dnlmsstch.bsky.social•498 days ago

When the testimony will clearly fall under the crime fraud exception doesn't make much of a difference...better to call her a coffee getter

deathbymeteor.bsky.social•498 days ago

But taking the defence off the table means it can't be used as a delay tactic

georgiaontap.bsky.social•498 days ago

🤔🤔🤔

@caricohorn.bsky.social
OMG so true...

seentoomuch.bsky.social•498 days ago

IANAL, but I'm gonna go with.... no? No seems good.

afilindra.bsky.social•498 days ago

Does atty client privilege hold for criminal acts where the atty has admitted guilt? Not being snarky, just not sure of how this works.

eyeharthomonyms.bsky.social•498 days ago

No, but it does mean any other acts she advised him on at any time are fair game. While they're questioning her about this crime, she now (potentially) has no way to claim other things they discussed fall under privilege. So they can compel her to testify about *everything* she knows. Potentially.

I think Jenna Ellis will be the next defendant to cut a deal w/ Ms. Willis.

danielsand.bsky.social•498 days ago

I imagine the entire point of these going fast track was to get to the table first to cut a deal.

I hope the rest also fall in line and everyone gets a deal to lock in a guilty verdict on trump.

stonecrow.bsky.social•498 days ago

Yep - if I remember correctly Ellis was helping Rudy during the Michigan challenges, so she may have some relevant evidence that has not yet come to light.

Please, let Trump do Trump.

gohexyourself.bsky.social•498 days ago

Will someone *please* teach him how to spell "stolen"? Didn't we execute Dan Quayle for misspelling potato?

catwarr.bsky.social•498 days ago

But against all odds, he spelled “fascist” correctly (the weird Punctuation continues, however)

gohexyourself.bsky.social•498 days ago

The weird punctuation will continue until morale improvrd

celticdragon1.bsky.social•498 days ago

Gonna work out great

You know, I try VERY hard to avoid using intelligence-based insults...

I will instead shake my head at whatever private school English teacher did this child a horrible disservice by not flunking him.

Not sure what a tasty holiday treat has to do with Sidney, but am now digging out my recipes for said treat.
