Trump rejected lawyers' suggestions to avoid indictment, listened to Judicial Watch instead: report
Fitton criticized the Post story, stating that it focused on "how Trump deserved to be abused by the Biden DOJ because he objected to being abused by the Biden DOJ."
First thing Trump should do is any lawyer that suggested a plea deal should be fired. Why would you plead guilty says something that’s so idiotic and he is innocent of these fake charges.
A libtard neighbor of mine that’s a lawyer said that Trump should plead and I thought that was the dumbest thing ever do these people really think Trump would ever agreed any of these charges?
"First thing Trump should do is any lawyer that suggested a plea deal should be fired." I think Trump did exactly that.
I think i heard that too. He can’t get legal advice they are all in on it together.
This is just more filtering out. Let the snakes squirm to the surface
Lawyers supposed to give all your options and the possible pros and cons of each. His attys would not be doing their job if they only offered 'fight the charges' as a solution.
This is probably the correct answer.
In a real war, I want to hear all available options and evaluate them all for the best possible path forward, even if the best possible path forward is not my favorite one.
Trump did his evaluation and determined that flat-out surrender is not the best option. He chose to fight.
Right, make them prove their case. Prosecutorial misconduct should alone be enough to get it tossed out of court.
This story sounds fabricated by design to make it seem Trump has zero intel or anyone helping him behind the scenes. That he's just doing things based on his own research and reading Judicial Watch LMAO.
Yes finally people saying what I an saying.
Trump is not a stupid man.
I'm saying the Trump team put this out though to make it seem like it. Art of war style.
Exactly what I said on another article.
Trumps pushes constitutional laws a lot. I hope he forces the entire government into common law, that would be fucking hilarious.
So.. why did he hire them in the first place?
No way! that just legitimates the entire farce.
No, this needs to drag out as long as possible so that Trump can use discovery to introduce as much damning evidence as possible.
You mean to tell me that after all that BS about arresting, federal this, federal that, espionage, secret docs...the government wanted to SETTLE?
That is the nexus of the process crime. Charge, indict, then pressure the innocent with endless time and costs, so he has to plead and the prosecutor wins, WITHOUT having to prove a case! Merely by accusation the prosecutor wins! Brow beaten innocent defendants without the financial means have to cave, they have no choice, which is what a government offers to its citizens: we have endless funds and lawyers, you do not. Just admit guilt and shuffle off into the bowels of the Gulag. We have accomplished our purpose, to get rid of an innocent citizen who dares BE a full citizen with rights of free speech.
BUT that will not work with our DON 45, Thank the Lord and pray for his strength through this harassment meant to bring him down, and leave us with no one who will be ABLE to defy them.
IOW prosecutors, pound sand and prove it in court, you pathetic bunch of liars and abusers of the powers granted to you.
Agree 1000%.
Yep they just want to dirty him up.
That’s not what it said. It said his lawyers suggested they try to do that.
I don’t think the DoJ is going to back down. They have a mission. It’s sick.
Dealing with SHEEP is one thing and dealing with THE LION is quite another. Pray for their EVIL DEAD USELESS Souls. They may yet not BURN FOREVER but it is now up to GOD
President Trump and his team use the DS lawfare tactics to expose the swamp. They provoke the DS into making these moves, of course he declined the idea of a settlement.
Naturally, attorneys who are not part of President Trump’s inner circle are going to give well established legal advice. It would be against their nature and training to pick a fight with the Federal Government. It is precisely in President Trump’s nature and training to pick these fights.
Tom Fitton and President Trump’s attorneys are not part of President Trump’s inner circle. They are not part of a team that has less than 10 people with only three of them being civilians. They are role players, playing the role President Trump directs them to play.
Edit: Also consider the importance of these documents being taken to Mar-a-Lago. It moved the jurisdiction out of the corrupted DC District Courts.
Trump want his sayin court to expose the unclassified documents he had. Going to wake a lot of people up.
Let's be real. Trump being indicted is a key part of the plan.
The "you can't arrest a political opponent" angle had to be dismantled.
It opens the doorway to Biden, Obama, Bush and Clinton being indicted by Trump when the time comes.
Not to mention it makes Trump surge in the polls.
Fucking snakes. You know who I’m talking about.
Trump probably has documents that prove the CIA killed JFK. That's why they're so desperate to get them back.
I'm hoping it's a copy of the notes handed out at Bush's funeral!!
They don’t care about convicting Trump, they want him disqualified to run for office and that’s the only plea deal they would offer.
Good on Trump for firing this traitor.
The hammer of the "justice" dept makes an innocent person plead to lesser charges to avoid the humiliation and expense of a trial, with uncertain outcome. That way the prosecutor has a win / win. Charge, no matter what on, no matter what basis, offer to make the false charges "GO AWAY" for a plea. The Prosecutor gets a win by default.
NO says 45 : this will not stand, because it should not stand!
Trump didn't cave to extortion.
We knew that.
Nothing to see here.
Micheal Jacksons lawyer has spoken about his decisions regarding the child accusations of the past.
IIRC Jackson & legal team thought it would be best to settle since the asking price was a pittance compared to the daily income from his Dangerous tour, fighting the claim would have ended the tour in the middle of it. This tarnished Jackson's name & has caused many to assume he was a pedophile (regardless of his guilt or innocence). It is an interesting rabbit hole which has had many Anons on opposite sides of Jackson's innocence.
Trump refusing to settle takes away the Deep State claim that "Trump settled, so he must be guilty of something."
Glad he learned from his friend's mistake.
He knows. Never settle, never ever take the plea deal unless you are guilty as sin. Which we know he is not. He is still the best President ever!
Geeze. Even his lawyers are out to fuck him. Good thing he is a wise man.
Lawyers have to present all options to their clients or they wouldn't be doing their job. That it has been dropped/posted to look bad likely serves a purpose for "our" side.
Good point
If he had no political aspirations it would be the easiest path.
However, this shows the weakness of the DOJ's case. If they had him dead to rights, they would never even consider offering him a deal. They would never let him off easy unless they knew they couldn't convict
based
If this statement is true, because it was the Post.

You are correct. Thanks for presenting another view.
I think that if he had negotiated then "the seal" would not have been broken and then we would not have the precident set that we have now to go after any previous POTUS.
