Re Trump's lawyers creative arguments, Elie Honig said yesterday that the lawyers' motion to dismiss Smith’s federal election interference indictment on the basis of presidential immunity contains "merit and nuance. At a minimum, it raises thorny issues that will require courts to break new ground. And, while I wouldn’t quite say it’s more likely than not that Trump wins, he’s got a realistic, material chance of success. If he does prevail here, DOJ’s 2020 election fraud case is toast, and Fani Willis’s likely will be, too."

I found this persuasive. My thought was THIS is why Todd Blanche, a former AUSA in the Southern District of NY who Preet Bharara considers smart and competent, left his law firm to represent Trump. To argue this very thing.

Your thoughts?
