Previous Guy's lawyer admits illegal act on Faux News [1]

Gang not shooting straight, as Trump defense attorney John Lauro, a few hours after his client’s arraignment, went on NewsMax/Fox and inadvertently admitted his client participated in a conspiracy to overturn the election. Lauro’s statement is likely admissible in court — and he can now potentially be disqualified from representing Trump. Witless for the prosecution.

John Lauro, Donald Trump’s latest defense attorney who one would think had found his law license in a box of Cheerios if Andrew Weissmen wasn’t saying that he and Lauro worked together in the Eastern district of New York as U.S. Attorneys and he considers Lauro “competent”, went on Faux Snooze and Newsmax tonight and in interviews at both places he directly quoted his client saying that he wanted Mike Pence to ge a 10-day delay in the count so the issue could be returned to the states for determination of which votes were accurate. In other words, the defense lawuer went on television and confirmed the accuracy of Count 4 of the indictment!

According to Weissman, when an “agent of the defendant” - which Lauro is as his defense attorney - makes a statement of fact like this, it is admissable in court as evidence to convict Trump on that count.

Weissman, Tim Heaphy and Barbar McQuade all agreed with Lawrence O’Donnell that what is happening with the Trump defense is they are running through various possible defenses in public, to see which one resonates with the public. Doing this is an attempt to pollute the jury pool by providing misinformation that a potential juror might latch onto and use as his or her reason to be the holdout that results in a hung jury in the coming trial.
