Another one:

"Lindsey Halligan is a partner in the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale East offices’ Property Group, which focuses on defending multiple carriers in first-party insurance claims. Lindsey’s practice focuses on the litigation of numerous water, fire, SIU fraud, vandalism and theft claims on both residential and commercial properties."

She uses a gmail address. Apparently she needed assistance in the simple mechanics of filing the motion. Legal Twitter has been unkind.

Here she is, apparently....

Maybe I'm imagining things, but I'm starting to notice a bit of a pattern with the folk that DJT hires....

Well, there was that exposed Access Hollywood video where he outlined his approach to human resources...

[Copper]

Any Trump lawyer has to be prepared to withstand an FBI investigation

With no lawyer client privilege

This is the world we live in

[Jolly]

And that's why he's having trouble hiring a lawyer. The Swamp, with an unlimited amount of resources, will take his lawyers under intense scrutiny and try its best to make a negative impact on their wallet and on their life.

What lawyer in their right mind wants that?

[Renauda]

I would suggest that Trump’s trouble finding lawyers is 1) he has a reputation for not following their advice then blaming them when things go south and; 2) he is notorious for refusing to pay his bills.

In other words, he is a liability not an asset.

After all, that how Common Law works.

And Trump is nothing if not Common.

[Renauda]

@Catseye3

Indeed, common with a very small “c”.

Nah, I don’t think that picture is negative for the lawyer. Nothing illegal or unethical is shown in that picture. (That picture looks like it’s from an anti-smoking campaign.) A lawyer can have other legitimate interests that lead to a picture like this. A lawyer can have a life outside of his/her life outside of his/her legal practice.

That's precisely as I've heard it described. You never know when he's going to undermine your entire legal strategy with a tweet Truth Social thingy.

Why didn't Trump just burn it all?

[jon-nyc]

It’s always the cover up.

[Catseye3]

@89th
Because then there'd be no story.

As a thought experiment, imagine if the whole documents thing never happened. Trump took nothing with him, no DOJ attention, nothing. Would he be in the news right now?

There's nothing else going on with him, is there?

Is it possible he set this whole thing in motion to get himself in the headlines? I'm not saying it's so, I have no idea, but it would make sense. If I'm right, look for the end game to be Trump vindicated and triumphant over the bad bad government. Which he will fix if you elect him.

Remember, he always finds a way to win.

Really if the fat man had just cooperated like Hilary did he wouldn’t be in this spot. It’s the deception and lies to the Feds that led to this.

An attorney looks at this (good thread):

[Copper]

If he had cooperated like Hillary, he would already be in jail.

[Mik]

Why would he want to cooperate with organizations that have tried to do nothing but harm him for six or seven years?

[Horace]

Not to mention that cooperation would have turned this into a non-story, and he wanted a story to bolster his swamp-victim narrative.

Lord Farquaad wasn't the victim. I think he misunderstood that movie.

Forget about “cooperation.” Simply following the law would be nice.
