Donald Trump continues to be a defense lawyer's biggest nightmare.
On Monday night, Fox News aired Brett Baier's latest interview with Trump, in which the former president opened a firehose of lies "defending" himself in the case of the stolen classified documents. Trump's litany of B.S. is now becoming all too familiar: He supposedly declassified the documents. (He's on tape admitting he hasn't.) They were his personal property. (Extensive evidence shows he knows they were not.) He's "president" and gets to do whatever he wants. (Basically a confession.) Trump's strategy is to toss off a bunch of excuses, which often contradict each other, just so his followers can grab onto whichever rationalization tickles their fancy.
