      I also sort of love how lawyers keep taking these cases, like it’s somehow not the legal equivalent of a fly deliberately walking into a Venus fly trap.

      Nah, , you got this. All the rest of those lawyers were never as smart as you! /s

        I like the saying that MAGA stands for Make Attorneys Get Attorneys. No wonder lawyers eject. More than a few have joined the defendants. Work with criminals and sometimes it rubs off on you.

          I like the quote "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with“. The longer I’m around, the more true it seems to be.

          We don’t always get to choose who those 5 people are, unfortunately. But when we can we need to choose carefully who we want to be more like and how we are influenced. Avoiding bad influences would be pretty hard while working in the justice system.

          Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani definitely both chose poorly. I wonder how shitty they were as people beforehand though. Maybe they just found their soul-mates/cell-mates.
