CNN: 'Ex-Prosecutor Says Donald Trump Just Shot Himself in Both Feet'

Source:CNN- President Donald J. Trump (Republican, Florida) 45th President of the United States (2017-21) the man who personally makes the case for just 1 4yr team as POTUS.

"Former President Donald Trump said that he received counsel from numerous people shortly after the 2020 election but that it was his decision to push the false claim he won the presidency and try to overturn the results."

I really don't have much to add to what attorney Gene Rossi told CNN anchor Sara Sidner here. Once again, I'm not a lawyer (and if you think you've heard this too many times, I'm getting through) but it's one thing to listen to and take the bad advice of counsel and then be prosecuted later on for something illegal and then just say you were just listening to your lawyers. But it's another to ignore your lawyers, especially when they're telling you the truth (like you just lost the presidential election) and then say that you didn't care what your lawyers told you. You are going to keep doing what you are doing anyway.  

If Donald Trump has a campaign theme for 2024 it's basically this: you have to elect him President again, so he can get himself and his allies who are being prosecuted, out of legal trouble. That's the only reason why he's running for President again, which is to be completely immune from the laws and rules of the United States, that every other American has to follow. And I'm sure he wants the title, the power, and want to personally financially profit over being President again. 

Since being indicted in Atlanta last month, Donald Trump's has had 3 defenses, so far:

he's entitled to say and do whatever he wants under the First Amendment, including lobbying government officials to overturn free and fair elections that he's lost, as well as try to intimidate prosecutors, witnesses that would testify against him, and poison the potential jury pool against him. That was Mr. Trump's first defense. 

Mr. Trump's 2nd defense has been that he's immune from any legal prosecution because he was not only a Federal official, when his own personal election interference was going on in late 2020 and in January 2021, but that he was President of the United States. 

Mr. Trump's 3rd defense, was that he was just listening to his lawyers. But he just threw that in the trash by admitting on national, broadcast, network television, when he talked NBC Meet The Press anchor Kristen Welker on Sunday and said that he didn't respect his lawyers when they told him that he lost the 2020 election and still went ahead with his election interference campaign. 

Perhaps Donald Trump's next defense will be that he's an idiot and simply didn't know what he was doing at the time. And perhaps he'll plead not guilty by reason of stupidity. I wouldn't put it pass him. After all, he's is the king of reality TV.
