The Justice Department (DOJ) is teeing up the possible disqualification of the attorney representing Walt Nauta, one of former President Trump’s alleged co-conspirators in the Mar-a-Lago case, warning the lawyer may have conflicts of interest after representing numerous witnesses in the probe.

    Trump’s strip mall lawyers should be quietly shitting themselves by this point.

    I don’t Stan for anyone these days but I’m a bit in awe of Jack Smith SC. His hobbies include participating in triathlons FFS!?!

    If this all pans out it’ll make one hell of a movie.

      “Jack Smith, Special Counsel” kind of sounds like a spy thriller. Just saying.

      Granted … they wouldn’t have to embellish to that extent to make interesting or gripping.

      But also, this is a power move. They want Nauta as a witness. Screwing over Nauta’s legal team… oh yeah. They just declared dominance.
