MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: “It’s Tom Fitton who ended up putting Donald Trump in arguably the most acute legal peril he has ever been in”

Now, I should note here, Tom Fitton is not a lawyer. He’s just a dude with some big money right-wing donors, I guess. But he’s been giving Donald Trump a lot of legal advice that the ex-president is actually listening to. Since as early as February, Fitton has reportedly been calling Trump, telling him it was a mistake to give the records from Mar-a-Lago to the National Archives, that his team should have never let the Archives quote, “strong-arm” him into returning them. Fitton said the records belonged to Trump, citing a 2012 court case involving his organization that he said gave the former president authority to do what he wanted with records from his own term in office. He suggested to Trump that if the Archives came back, he should not give up any additional records. Trump, quote, “began obsessing over Fitton’s arguments, complaining to aides about the 15 boxes that were handed over” and “even asked Fitton at one point to brief his attorneys.” I’m sure that they loved that one. As one person close to the ex-president put it, quote, “The moment Tom got in the boss’ ear, it was downhill from there.” You know, it’s like the Overstock guy or the Pillow guy.

Wikipedia says that he only has a Bachelor’s Degree in English. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Roberts’s Attempt to Keep “Roe” Intact Fell Apart After Alito’s Draft Leaked

When a draft of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to the public this spring, Chief Justice John Roberts was in the process of privately trying to dissuade conservative bloc justices from voting in favor of upending abortion rights — but the leak brought all potential compromises to a halt.

Previously:

Sam Alito leaked his own Dobbs draft

Alito himself leaked the draft, to lock in Kavanaugh. It’s unlikely it was necessary to do that (Kavanaugh’s vote was locked in as soon as he was totally falsely accused of sexual assault by those liberal women) but I’m betting Sammy the Papal Bull thought, “why take a chance?”
