Hey #law and #legal adjacent folks on general interest instances, should the mood strike you esq.social is over here whenever you want to check us out.
Yesterday, Costello behaved so atrociously on the witness stand that Juan Merchan cleared the courtroom to admonish him & the defense attorneys. Costello is due back on the stand
#RobertCostello testifies that “sometimes” his emails speak for themselves. Sometimes, the implication is & as he said earlier, they do not.
🙄 more [#mansplaining]
🚨🚨 Costello wrote in an email that his mission was to “get Cohen on the right page without giving him the appearance that we are following instructions from Giuliani or the president.”
The jurors are paying close attention, much more so than they did to the end of #MichaelCohen's cross-examination.
@Nonilex Aah, Trump is trying the old "I am a very important man and therefore my case deserves unique jury instructions and a higher burden of proof than every other criminal defendant" defense.
Good luck with that one, Donald. It may work with FedSoc judges you appointed, but not a truly independent judiciary.
Man, how bad does things have to get in your law practice before you get to the point of attempting to rob an armoured vehicle?
"Chad Green, the accused attorney, was shot in the process, but managed to hop onto his getaway bicycle and pedal away as he attempted to evade law enforcement."
In reference to the #trumptrial and David Pecker's testimony to date, when does the "catch and kill" approach to celebrities and political candidates cross the line into extortion?

His lawyer says it's unfair Eastman should have to fight #criminal charges in #Georgia w/o being able to earn money as a #lawyer to pay his #legal bills.
This is like a convicted drug dealer saying it’s unfair he can no longer sell crack because he has to pay his lawyer.
Fmr #Trump atty #JohnEastman's #attorney status in California has been updated to reflect that he's both charged with #felonies in #Georgia & marked for "inactive" status beginning Saturday as a result of his #disbarment ruling.
