Donald Trump’s Legal Team Is in Utter Turmoil
With a client like this, it really couldn’t be any other way.
By Robert Katzberg, May 23, 2023, 3:44 PM
In the latest addition to Donald Trump’s mounting legal problems, attorney Timothy Parlatore has just announced his resignation from the former president’s legal team. Parlatore said he was forced to resign because it was impossible to work with co-counsel Boris Epshteyn. Per Parlatore, Epshteyn “did everything he could to try to block us” from speaking to Trump, and was “not very honest with the client.” Why Mr. Epshteyn, a longtime Trump aide, former corporate lawyer and political commentator with no apparent criminal defense experience is calling the shots for Team Trump in multiple monumental white-collar criminal investigations remains a mystery, although one can guess from the Parlatore quote that it is because he tells Trump what he wants to hear.
Parlatore’s departure follows that of Evan Corcoran, a Trump lawyer who resigned from the Mar-a-Lago investigation after being compelled to testify in the grand jury against his client in the classified documents matter. Despite resigning from the Mar-a-Lago investigation, Corcoran will remain counsel to the former president in other investigations. While Parlatore was also compelled to testify in the grand jury, he apparently saw no ethical or practical bar to his continuing to work for Trump until Epshteyn annoyed him sufficiently to trigger his exit. Both Parlatore and Corcoran have it wrong.
As a white-collar criminal defense attorney for four decades, I cannot fathom how any attorney who has testified in a grand jury investigation of a client can remain that client’s lawyer. Justice Department attorneys did not subpoena Parlatore and Corcoran after randomly pulling their names from the phone book. They were subpoenaed because the DOJ must have had substantial evidence involving them in the criminal conduct of their client. Otherwise there would be no way to successfully litigate the matter over many months to break the attorney-client privilege under the “crime fraud” exception. Unless the DOJ and the judges who upheld the invocation of the “crime fraud” exception are widely off the mark, there are only two probable outcomes: The attorney becomes a witness against the client or is indicted as his co-conspirator.
In grand jury testimony, the lawyer/witness must be careful not to expose himself to charges of perjury, while the lawyer’s own underlying conduct is also under scrutiny. How can the client retain full confidence in the lawyer when the client cannot really know whether the attorney provided damaging evidence that will be used to put him in jail? How does the client know whether the attorney protected his own interests instead of those of the client? In the Corcoran situation, how does providing testimony that may help a prosecutor indict his client in one matter not destroy the attorney-client relationship in all matters? Inherently, the lawyers’ need to protect themselves necessarily conflicts to at least some material degree with their obligation to protect their client. This conflict seriously undermines a relationship that requires full disclosure, mutual confidence, and a shared determination to always have the client’s interests the top priority.
In short, once a subpoenaed lawyer fails in their attempts to do everything legally possible to preclude needing to testify, there is no choice but to terminate the attorney-client relationship.
Thus, the overall takeaway from Parlatore’s exit is that Team Trump can now be called Team Turmoil. In addition to losing Corcoran and Parlatore, one can expect that Joe Tacopina, Trump’s attorney in the E. Jean Carroll civil assault litigation, will soon be gone, although in his case, not voluntarily. Whether any of these three new Trump legal exiles will join their prior Team Trump colleagues who abandoned ship in making public, negative analyses of their former client’s defense team and his chances of successfully defending himself—such as forme

Trump will be fine.
He didn't do anything illegal, and the more time that passes proves me right about that.

Quote:You missed the point that an actual murderer, who carried his murder victim to the hospital, is still free and presumed innocent until proven guilty six years after the murder. He'd never be on trial if he hadn't gone to the hospital with his victim because the legal system is ridiculously slow and erratic in the US, especially if you have money to buy lawyers. Millionaire convicted murderer Robert Durst was convicted only because he confessed on TV, which forced prosecutors to get their lazy, silly, stupid asses in gear and finally convict him many decades after the murder. Durst was fine until he wasn't. It will be the same with Trump. Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, didn't pay taxes. Cohn was fine until he wasn't but it wasn't the IRS that finally made him pay. It was AIDS that killed him and the IRS picked over his estate afterward because the IRS couldn't get Cohn to pay while alive.

Trump to stand trial in March 2024 for alleged hush money payments
Former President Donald Trump appeared in a New York City virtual court hearing Tuesday, where a judge said Trump will go on trial March 25, 2024 — months before the 2024 presidential election — after he pleaded not guilty in April to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment.

I'm hearing Trump may be indicted in as little as a week or two in what they are calling the documents trial.
