All true, but the judge can also appoint an attorney to represent him if he can't find someone willing to do it voluntarily. And the judge would not be restricted to public defenders -- in a very specific, sensitive case like this, a judge can appoint a private attorney who has the requisite clearance and experience, even if that attorney doesn't want to do it. Barred attorneys who practice in the court system are considered officers of the court who owe a duty to the goals of the justice system. That includes the 6th amendment right to adequate assistance of counsel in your own defense. I would not be surprised if the judge is waiting until Nauta exhausts all options, and then could appoint someone so the case can proceed. It will not be allowed to be postponed indefinitely. |
Who the heck is wortman? |
Your worst nightmare. |
The relevant question is who is Murray Waas. He’s a longtime reporter. |
Yeah, I looked him up. He certainly sounds legit and well-connected. If he says Mark Meadows packed up boxes of classified documents and took them HOME on Trump's last night in the WH, then I believe him. It certainly sounds like Meadow's MO. Meadows in going to be singing or spending a lot of time in jail. |
Mark Meadows was prepared to sing all along, not being a MAGA true believer, and he most assuredly did. |
Never heard of either one. |
