Trump’s legal team #1 tactic regardless of the issue is to
Duck, Dodge, Distract, Deceive, Deflect, and Deny everything.
Case in point was on full display during Easter Sunday’s MEET
THE PRESS with one of Trump’s many lawyers, James
Trusty.
This DAILY BEAST article rundown discusses Trusty knocking heads with show host
Check Todd and not doing a good job either as noted in the article’s headline:
“Trump Lawyer Tries Desperately to Make Trump’s Docs Scandal All About
Biden”
One of former Trump’s many, many lawyers attempted to
label President Joe Biden’s classified documents fiasco as a case of obstruction — in defense of his client, who is
actually under investigation for obstruction of justice regarding the
Mar-a-Lago document mess.
That back and forth with Mr. Trusty seen in this video clip at the 13:40 to
27:00 mark:
Attorney James Trusty blasted show host Chuck Todd for
touting the “Democratic narrative” that Trump had not complied with a
subpoena to overturn classified documents housed at Mar-a-Lago, prompting an FBI
raid.
Trusty claimed the
true “set of facts” pointing towards “obstruction was in Biden’s case because
Biden shouldn’t have had the documents at all,” saying: “You've got a vice
president that has documents for decades in this Chinese-funded Penn Biden
Center, right? You’ve got absolute obstruction there.”
FACTUAL NOTE: The Penn-Biden Center has not received Chinese funds.
Trusty also failed to grasp the different levels of
transparency between the Trump and Biden cases.
For example: When
the documents at the Penn-Biden Center were discovered,
Biden’s attorneys immediately notified the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA), which looped in the DOJ.
Each subsequent batch of documents was turned over and also
prompted a government notification, and just like later when Mike Pence documents
were found, too. Both acted quickly unlike Trump.
Trump had multiple boxes of various classified documents at
his Florida estate despite his various lawyers telling NARA that he had turned
everything over and those lies continued for a long time, too.
Todd, using that
information, tried to reel out a concession from Trusty, asking: “Did he
proceed to turn them over when he found them?”
Trusty, who appeared flustered seemingly
came equipped solely with talking-point responses saying: “We don't have
the leaks coming from Biden special counsel Rob Hur's investigation to know the details of exactly how stuff
was turned over.”
Todd then retorted
asking: “So is your defense is saying we think other people broke the law,
so let us break the law? I mean, I just think that doesn't seem to be a good
defense.”
Trusty then shifted gears again, claiming Trump was
receiving undue “differential treatment” — despite his alleged conduct
differing wildly from others facing their own document scandals.

My 2 Cents: Mr. Trusty is typical of the style and kind of lawyer serving Trump over his many cases and crimes and such.
All-in-all it’s quite pitiful to see them perform to say the least. Hope you see that point as I’m sure most viewers do and clearly see, too.
But we still have a long way to go – so buckle up and stay tuned.
Thanks for stopping by.
