Plus John Lauro went on Fox (twice) today and deftly argued that (link)


Trump committed one of the crimes he'd just been indicted on earlier today by repeatedly saying that Trump elected to exercise "option D".

From the link below:

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell and Andrew Weissmann were in awe of what the latter called a “rookie mistake” by a lawyer for former President Donald Trump.

Hours earlier, Trump was arraigned in federal court in Washington, D.C. thanks to his attempt to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election, which he falsely claimed was rigged against him. He was indicted on four counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights. Trump pleaded not guilty.

At the time, Trump urged Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify the results of the election as he presided over certification in Congress on Jan. 6, 2021. The then-president was operating under the theory that Pence could return the matter to the states, where Republican-controlled legislatures in states he lost could elevate pro-Trump slates of electors as the valid electors. Meanwhile, Trump personally lobbied several public officials to overturn the results in their states.

John Lauro, who is representing the former president in the case, appeared on Thursday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle on Fox News and Greg Kelly Reports on Newsmax. In each instance, he offered the same “defense” to the hosts.

On The Last Word, Lawrence O’Donnell aired a clip of Lauro’s appearance on Fox News.

“What President Trump said is, ‘Let’s go with option D,'” Lauro told Laura Ingraham. “Let’s just halt, let’s just pause the voting and allow the state legislatures to take one last look and make a determination as to whether or not the elections were handled fairly. That’s constitutional law. That’s not an issue of criminal activity.”

O’Donnell was beside himself.

“That is a Trump criminal defense lawyer quoting Donald Trump committing a crime,” O’Donnell said. “Donald Trump’s criminal defense lawyer tonight added information to [Special Counsel] Jack Smith’s 42-page description of Donald Trump’s crimes. The conversation that John Lauro just described appears on page 34 of the indictment against his client.”

They must have decided to try the old incompetent legal representation defense.
