never thought i would, i m running out of things to say. having known you for 1000, years that seems hard to believe, dude. or that we will get to the bottom of that jar of peanut butter. there you go. there s nothing left. we will never tire of the things that you have to say. keep saying them. so many takes. i ll be following. thanks, chris. and thank you to you at home for joining us this hour. we start this evening with this. get caught in a hot mess? call the dawn bomb of law. that is an ad for the legal services of the new florida lawyer representing former president trump s alleged coconspirator, walt nauta in the mar-a-lago documents case. just from the layman s perspective here, yes, it sure seems like he is caught in a hot mess. today in miami, mr. nauta finally pleaded not guilty to the charges that he screamed with trump to hide color documents of trump s florida beach club, and then attempted to cover it up. for weeks now, if mr. nauta it has been delay
here it sure seems he s caught in a hot mess. today nauta finally pleaded not guilty. for weeks now mr. nauta has been delaying this arraignment claiming he s had trouble finding local florida representation. and today, well, we learn he has found that representation. now, we don t know for sure who s paying for mr. nauta s new local counsel, but the other lawyer, the non-local counsel mr. nauta has had for a while and by the way was in court today and enter a plea was attorney brand woodward. and we know the law firm is being paid by president trump s political action committee, save america. that little tidbit matters because if the past is prologue here, then the lawyers who pays for the lawyers can make a world of a difference when it comes to actually getting at the truth. i was in the vicinity of a conversation where i heard the president say something to the effect of they re not here to hurt me, takes the f-ing mags away. remember cassidy hutchinson? she was a for
