Trumpland lawyers are a motley crew of Brooks Brothers fascists, B-listers of flexible integrity, and craven MAGA hacks. Their constant sniping at each other and leaks to the press are always good for a laugh, and often serve as a window on the former president and his many, many legal problems.
It is very funny to see former White House lawyer Eric Herschmann, who is squarely in the first category, take a righteous crap on B-listers Evan Corcoran and John Rowley, who currently represent Trump in Trump's stolen document disputes, and Trump lackey Boris Epshteyn, who is an absolute hack despite having a JD from Georgetown.
I certainly am not relying on any legal analysis from either of you or Boris who to be clear I think is an idiot, Herschmann told Corcoran and Rowley over the summer in emails reported by the New York Times. When I questioned Boriss legal experience to work on challenging a presidential election since he appeared to have none challenges that resulted in multiple court failures he boasted that he was just having fun, while also taking selfies and posting pictures online of his escapades.
Why, yes, Herschmann is the same guy who threatened to beat up the Overstock.com weirdo and Mike Flynn during the infamous December 18, 2020, Oval Office showdown and testified to the House January 6 Select Committee that he'd told John Eastman to get a "good fucking criminal defense attorney."

(36,457 posts)1. Herschmann was my favorite in the J6 cast of vile characters.
"I said I only want to hear two words coming out of your mouth from now on: 'orderly transition.'" Herschmann said he told Eastman.

if we weren't so preoccupied with having to bring these bleeps to justice.
