Trump Is Ripping Off His Georgia Co Defendants By Stealing Their Legal Defenses

According to a new report, Donald Trump isn't making his lawyers work too hard because he's simply ripping off the defense filings of his fellow co-defendants in the Georgia case. Trump has filed 9 motions in court that the report says simply ripped off filings made by his allies that are also under indictment, even though most of those motions failed the first time they were tried. Trump has no defense, and this story is proof of that, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

According to a new report from the messenger, Donald Trump, even though he is got his high price lawyers out there in Georgia, he's actually been ripping off his co-defendant's legal arguments in motions that he has filed. As the messenger has reported, there's at least nine instances where Donald Trump's lawyers have gone to court and filed motions only after the co-defendants filed motions. And the wording is almost identical, kind of like his lawyers were. Oh, okay. That's, oh, that's a good one. Like they're just copying down. What the other defendants are arguing, let me read you this by the numbers, at least nine of Trump's recent defense motions seeking to quash the indictment from Fulton County District Attorney, Fannie Willis, have been very brief items that essentially adopted the arguments of fellow co-defendants. Trump is letting them do the heavy lifting, said Karen Morrison, a Georgia State University law professor who has attended key recent Trump related court hearings. Just basically let your co-defendant do the work and spend the money and then just be like, okay, I'll just add my name to that please.

So it's like, there's this big group project is Trump and his co-defendants and all the other co-defendants are doing the work. They're paying their lawyers. Like, you gotta come up with arguments. You gotta sit and have these strategy meetings and brainstorming in the late nights. And then Trump's lawyer's like, yeah, oh yeah. Can we just like, just put my name on that too for him, dude, thanks, man. Think that's, that's what we're dealing with. And the reason I love it is not because these other people are struggling to even be able to pay their lawyers to come up with these ridiculous arguments. They keep getting shot down, by the way. But it's the fact that if this is Donald Trump's legal tactic, then he's going to jail. He's not having his lawyers actually sit and do thinking they're, they're not strategizing, they're not coming up with original well thought out arguments.

They're just looking over the other people's shoulder and, you know, uh, change a couple things. So it doesn't look like we're copying this. This is pathetic, this is idiotic. I don't understand what's going through Trump's head. And, and I mean, to be honest, we don't even know if Trump knows that they're doing this. I mean, this report may come as a shock to Donald Trump himself. Like, what the hell guys, I, I'm paying you tons of money here and you're just copying their stuff. No wonder we keep losing. They lost and then you copied theirs. So of course we're gonna lose. Like, what? None of it makes any sense. And that's what's so hilarious about it. 'cause these lawyers that again, are just kinda ripping off all these other co-defendants lawyers. They're the ones that Trump has entrusted to keep him out of prison. They're the ones that Trump said, I'm putting my

Faith in you to save my behind. And these lawyers aren't even willing to put forth an ounce of effort, it seems to even try to pretend to be doing their jobs. That's hilarious to me.
