There’s more going on here than we know
Yesterday we learned that Donald Trump’s attorney in the DOJ classified documents case is being forced to testify as a witness against Trump tomorrow. Now it turns out Jack Smith is also having Trump’s attorney in the Fulton County probe, Jennifer Little, testify to the DOJ grand jury this week, per ABC News. This comes after separate reporting a few days ago that the Fulton County DA is seeking to interview Trump’s attorney in the DOJ classified documents case, Christina Bobb.
There has to be more going on here than we know. And until we see more, I won’t even pretend that I know for certain how this all fits together. The common theme here is that Trump’s attorneys aren’t being treated as attorneys. They’re being treated as material witnesses and/or co-conspirators. That’s very rare. Yet in this case it’s becoming very common.
Trump likes to use his attorneys as part of his criminal plots. That’s nothing new. So it’s not difficult to figure out why they’re being treated as witnesses or co-conspirators, and not as attorneys. That’s the easy part to understand.
But why is the DOJ treating Trump’s Fulton County attorney as a material witness. Why is Fulton County treating Trump’s DOJ attorney as a material witness? What are these prosecutors interested in when it comes to each other’s cases? Is this mere overlap, or outright coordination? There has to be more context to all of this we don’t have yet. Maybe it’s a little more, or maybe it’s a lot more, but there’s clearly more to the big picture here than the isolated pieces of information that keep coming out.
