In fairness, only one of them was a law professor.

Trump can indirectly claim lack of intent. But to make it persuasive (especially to a DC jury!) he'll have to get on the stand and make the case himself. That's a disaster in the making and even he must know it.

Did my children receive professional training in how to use the most dishes possible without ever washing any of them? They seem too good at it to be amateurs.

I’m seeing reporting mentioning prospect of a pardon by Governor Kemp. But doesn’t Georgia vest all pardon power in an independent board?

I've got a short piece up at Slate explaining that the Georgia pardon rules that make it nearly impossible for Trump to wiggle out of the Georgia case are a mixed bag for regular defendants. slate.com/news-and-polit…

I have a new op-ed at Slate explaining how the prosecutor vacancy crisis is actually bad news for criminal defendants. slate.com/news-and-polit…

With the Manhattan DA seeking to delay the Trump trial by a month because of new documents from federal prosecutors, now seems like a good time to mention my new paper "Accidental Brady Violations." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

In case you want a break from 24-7 Trump news, Brandon Garrett Jennifer Teitcher, and I have an op-ed at The Hill about the Brady violations and the Alec Baldwin case. thehill.com/opinion/judici…
