Who will be next to speak out about Trump?

... is there anything keeping him from telling all about Trump?

Fear of mobs wanting to hang him?
A tape of him doing the stuff on Borat video, only not with an actress *posing* as an underage girl?
Some other kind of buried bodies?
The promise of a formula for coloring hairs that do not leak even in the worst circumstances?
There are many possibilities...

And lawyer/client privilege doubtlessly continues even after the lawyer is disbarred.  Otherwise it would be too easy to just disbar a lawyer and force him to tell everything.

Atlanta Prosecutor Appears to Move Closer to Trump Inquiry

The Fulton County district attorney is weighing an inquiry into possible election interference and is said to be considering hiring an outside counsel.

It's getting to the point where the former president won't be safe anywhere in the USA...

The German chancellor Gerhard Shroeder, who was (perhaps) one the first leaders in a Western nation to be Russia's stooge (well, perhaps not the first, there was also Andreas Papandreou in Greece), got a cozy position in a Russian state agency after his retirement from German politics .

I wonder if Russia would be willing to extend a similar offer to Trump.

Apparently Trump’s very own pet rat.. erm lawyer is trying to crawl away from this toxic pile.

It’s pretty bad when your own lawyer calls you out while trying to quit.

And, as was inevitable from the beginning, some big supporters of Trump have disavowed him: The Proud Boys.

“As Mr. Trump departed the White House on Wednesday, the Proud Boys, once among his staunchest supporters, have also started leaving his side. In dozens of conversations on social media sites like Gab and Telegram, members of the group have begun calling Mr. Trump a ‘shill’ and ‘extraordinarily weak,’ according to messages reviewed by The New York Times. They have also urged supporters to stop attending rallies and protests held for Mr. Trump or the Republican Party.”

“On social media, Proud Boys participants have complained about his willingness to leave office and said his disavowal of the Capitol rampage was an act of betrayal. And Mr. Trump, cut off on Facebook and Twitter, has been unable to talk directly to them to soothe their concerns or issue new rallying cries.”

Trump pandered to those who worship strength, so it was inevitable that they would turn on him when he finally showed his utter weakness.

I know it's been a while, but I had to bring this thread back for....

Alex Jones!

“It’s the truth and I’m just going to say it. That I wish I never would have f*cking met Trump. I wish it never would have happened. And it’s not the attacks I’ve been through. I’m so sick of f*cking Donald Trump, man. God, I’m f*cking sick of him. And I’m not doing this because, like, I’m kissing his f*cking ass, you know. It’s, like, I’m sick of it.”

Of course, this was back in 2019, and the video was leaked rather than released, but it is insightful of how some of the rightwing demagogues really feel about the man they so lavishly praised.
