Lawyers for former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived at the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith on Thursday, ABC News reported, the day a grand jury meets in the investigation of efforts to overturn Trump's 2020 presidential election defeat.

    We will do a megathread for the next indictment if it happens today or tomorrow.

    It is not uncommon for defense attorneys to meet with federal prosecutors prior to them seeking an indictment, in the hopes of convincing them not to bring charges against their client.

    Citing the doctrine of “C’mon, dude, I said I was sorry.”

    Edit: Also Trump: “I’M NOT SORRY AND I’LL FUCKIN DO IT AGAIN AND SOME BRAVE PATRIOT NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO YOUR LOVELY FAMILY”

    He found lawyers? Last time I checked on him nobody wanted to work for him, because he didn’t pay and was hard to work with and dragged all his former lawyers into the dirt and he is, you know, guilty af.

    These charges will be in Washington DC.

    In DC, the rules are for a speedy trial, no courtroom cameras and they highly frown on Trump type bad-mouthing of judges and prosecutors in the media.

    The coup monger will finally be held accountable!

      As much as I want this to be true, I’ll believe it when I see it.

    Do these lawyers have TV commercials with phone numbers that are just a single digit repeated seven times?

        Has there been a more successful ad campaign for something you’ll likely never use? The songs from these commercials were stuck in my head just about a week ago.

      At this point I assume it’s just a rotating door tag team system. Lawyers come in, make some money and then yeah out to the next. Although this all hinges on trump paying invoices which is sus at best

      I would thoroughly enjoy it if someone/anyone would play that the next time the orange kumquat is filmed walking. I mean what a gif that would make!

    I can’t wait to see what Trump tweets Xes truths[?] about this?

      A paradox: It is correct that posts on the Orange One’s social media are called “truths”. At the same time, to call anything the Orange One posts “truths” is incorrect.

      Hmm… 🤔

      ETA (It’s more an oxymoron, but you get the idea.)
