Former President Donald Trump has replaced his top Georgia lawyer ahead of his surrender Thursday evening, sources tell CNN.

Drew Findling, the lawyer who has led Trump’s defense in Georgia, is being replaced by Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based attorney whose website profile describes him as a “special counsel for white collar and high-profile defense.”

    Putting in appropriate effort for a job where the pay is exposure.

      That exposure is gonna backfire- this case is basically a slam dunk.

        A slam dunk unless someone in the audience (a single juror) decides that nothing the prosecution can do will make it a slam dunk so nobody gets any points (not guilty). Metaphor got away from me but all it takes is one juror to lie his way into the box and refuse to vote guilty no matter what.

          Actually, that would be a mistrial.

          Which results in a second trial- in this case it would be with a new jury. There would be no reason to dismiss the case if only one hold out was present.

          And if it’s demonstrable that the juror lied- maybe by looking at social media- then they’re gonna get his with perjury.

        God damn, do I want to live in the reality where bad press exists. Or have you not watched these exact assholes fail upwards for the last seven years?

          The reason it’s going to back fire is you know trump is going to throw them under the bus when there’s nobody else to toss.

          They’re going to fail, and trump is going to blame them. And he’s going to let the world know it.

          There’s a reason it took 2.5 years to bring charges, and it’s not that multiple prosecutors were sitting on their ass twiddling their thumbs.
