A defense like you’ve never seen
Looks like Donald Trump picked the wrong week to quit snorting Adderall (ABC News):
There are multiple Jeremy Rosenbergs in New York City, as former President Donald Trump’s attorneys found out Tuesday after they sent a subpoena to the wrong one.
Last month, Trump’s attorneys in his criminal hush money case [Ed: falsifying business records, to be correct] in Manhattan sought to subpoena the Jeremy Rosenberg who was a supervising investigator in the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
Instead, according to court filings revealed Tuesday, the subpoena went to another Jeremy Rosenberg living in an $8 million Brooklyn home.
A crack team of attorneys Trump has there, and I mean that crack. It’s led by one Todd Blanche.
The Independent continues:
“I don’t have any files for you,” the apparently bemused Brooklynite wrote back, according to a filing from the former president’s legal team.
He added: “PS – The phone number you provided was disconnected.
“PPS – I’m keeping the fifteen dollars,” he added, referencing the money Mr Trump’s lawyers had sent him to help pay for sending the documents.
(I once got onto the chain-mail list of a Republican state senator(?) from Alabama. She only relented after I wrote back that, no, I couldn’t send her that chicken recipe she liked so much. I was not the Tom Sullivan she thought I was. Former Colorado governor, John Hickenlooper, called me by accident twice in a week in September 2019 thinking I was Colorado state Rep. Tom Sullivan. It happens.)
Still, Trump’s attorneys were clueless even after that snarky reply:
Mr Blanche had complained earlier this week that the man that he believed the former investigator Mr Rosenberg had displayed a “flippant and dismissive approach” to his subpoena “despite ample experience with the criminal justice system that should have instilled in him respect for this process and a criminal defendant’s rights”.
But in fact, Mr Trump’s lawyers had simply served court papers on the wrong man, prosecutor Matthew Colangelo wrote.
“The people believe the defendant has served the incorrect person,” Mr Colangelo said in a court filing.
Give Donald Trump the nuclear codes and he’ll attack the wrong country.
