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. 🤦🏼♀️
