when the Georgia indictment finally arrives, I assume that the asshole lawyers will double down on the "free speech" excuse. and by their non-logic, it will seem even more true, since the whole conversation was, after all, "just two guys talking." I'm even willing to take small bets on it (by nature, I'm not a gambler, but this one is hard to resist).

as I keep saying, it's sort of interesting that all the "commentators" from the Right keep repeating that they "haven't read the indictment," since Smith obviously anticipated this so-called "legal strategy" and disposed of it on page two.

it seems like even TFF's lawyers realized what a bullshit argument it was, siknce now they're doing the "blame the lawyers" thing despite the fact that the indictment cites any number of TFF's lawyers telling him that it was bullshit. and that included pretty much the entire group of official White House lawyers. even that prick Eastman is quoted as saying that his "theory" wouldn't stand any kind of real legal test, although I might take exception to his claim that if the case came before SCOTUS, every member would declare it bullshit. there's ALWAYS Mr. Thomas, who never talks to his wife about anything but, one imagines, the weather.
