    After Trump’s lawyer complained Friday that the defense shouldn’t have to “babysit” Trump while he reviews sensitive materials, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said they could “compromise,” and that Trump could look over the documents on his own but couldn’t have any electronics while doing so.

    How much of the evidence do you think he’ll eat or try flushing down the nearest toilet?

      That’s interesting. Most of the time, lawyers are delighted to have an increase in billable hours. I guess they can’t stand to be in the same room with him, either.

      I’m betting he won’t be able to follow this rule personally. A month tops before there’s a claim he’s using his phone while looking at the stuff.

      he’ll try pulling out some old-timey camera instead.

      “the judge said no electronics!"

      Probably at least a few pages before maybe rubbing two brains cells together hard enough to remember that the prosecution still has everything.

      Getting his electronics taken away is more of a pre teen/teenager thing though

      More like “restricting behaviors allowed from man shown he can’t be trusted to police his own actions”.

      Same reason they fought so hard to prevent him from testifying, because he’s pathologically incapable of shutting the fuck up about this shit and will always do what makes things worse for him.

      Tell us you’re a fucking moron without telling us you’re a fucking moron.

      Edit: Sorry, my filter broke after a long shitty week. If this hurt your feewings, uh, good, I’m glad. Jackass.
