Law. how is that not soliciting or conspireing fraud? we are absolutely confident having looked at the evidence that our client has not violated any of those. do you acknowledge that donald trump lost the georgia election? me? i am that s an easy one. do you acknowledge that, drew? no. no. he did not acknowledge that, a theme we ve seen in some lawyers. as a fact check, trump famously did lose the race, that s why charges hold some merit. in the interview he also explained, based on his own expertise, because he has background in rico defenses, his criticism of what would be a possibly rico case by the d.a. we re going against that same district attorney s office that s doing these crazy rico indictments and caging these young men of color for years waiting to go to trial. we have no confidence in the way they ve handled those cases, and
