MAGA - Making Attorneys Get Attorneys
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Justice Department (DOJ) is teeing up the possible disqualification of the attorney representing Walt Nauta, one of former President Trump’s alleged co-conspirators in the Mar-a-Lago case, warning the lawyer may have conflicts of interest after representing numerous witnesses in the probe.
Stanley Woodward has represented “at least seven other individuals who have been questioned in connection with the investigation,” including those who have testified about Nauta, the DOJ disclosed Wednesday.
The DOJ also asks the court to assess whether Nauta fully understands the risk associated with his current attorney.
Taveras, the Mar-a-Lago employee responsible for overseeing security cameras, previously received a target letter in the probe, but after switching attorneys he flipped, prompting the superseding indictment that detailed Trump’s involvement in attempting to delete Mar-a-Lago security footage.
That indictment also relied on information from Taveras that led to the naming of a third co-conspirator in the case, Carlos De Oliveira, a Mar-a-Lago property manager who helped Nauta move boxes and was part of the effort to delete the footage.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Trump’s strip mall lawyers should be quietly shitting themselves by this point.
I don’t Stan for anyone these days but I’m a bit in awe of Jack Smith SC. His hobbies include participating in triathlons FFS!?!
If this all pans out it’ll make one hell of a movie.
“Jack Smith, Special Counsel” kind of sounds like a spy thriller. Just saying.
Granted … they wouldn’t have to embellish to that extent to make interesting or gripping.
But also, this is a power move. They want Nauta as a witness. Screwing over Nauta’s legal team… oh yeah. They just declared dominance.
Yep. They just T-posed over the body of the lawyer and started baggin’ it. Classic Jack move.
4 years from now, who do you want to play Jack?
I mean… I dunno. Maybe we should ask Jack?
Holy shit, that’s pretty unethical. He represented the dudes who testified against his new client?
I knew it, they’re just doing mob things.
The motion comes following reports about the extent of Trump’s financing of attorneys for allies now embroiled in legal trouble due to their connection with him as well as the decision of Yuscil Taveras to switch attorneys, abandoning representation by Woodward.
Opening Arguments podcast had been a blast to listen to lately.
About Nauta, they keep saying: If you’re not paying the attorney, he’s not representing your interests
I haven’t heard of them and I’m looking for a new one, thanks for the rec. I’m off and on listening to knowledge fight but you can only take so much alex jones and tucker carlson.
I can also recommend OA, they’ll get a little into the weeds on some things but I enjoy that kind of stuff.
Oh shit… so Nauta already had trouble finding a local lawyer for the trial…
they just shitcanned the one he did find. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/27/trump-documents-codefendant-walt-nauta-cant-find-local-lawyer.html
