@Hmongboi228 6 месяцев назад

IMO, I think Mr. Tacopina still wants to practice law AFTER this case thus concerned about the aftermath of the likely losing case. After losing, he would have lost future potential clients and likely be blacklisted (unofficially) and grouped with the crazy MAGA lawyers. Since he was paid $1.7 million in 2023 (as per the NY Times) and received significant publicity through this case even though he did not see it to completion, Mr. Tacopina came out a winner with this strategic exit. 🤝

In a case where the interviewee is going to be tight-lipped and tells you so, you need to find ways to pry lips loose. That didn't happen here, IMO because Tacopina was so frequently put on the defensive and reminded of Rev. Sharpton's distaste for the decision to represent Trump.

I've seen a few things elsewhere where other professional lawyers have stated that Tacopina was going on TV and saying some pretty outlandish stuff while he was a lawyer for Trump, but apart from that he is a competent legal professional. So that suggests Trump was asking/telling him to do something that Tacopina knew would land him in deep trouble if he did it and was found out. Or, someone close to him took him aside and explained to him that he was on the verge of destroying his career and reputation. And there would be no coming back once it was done. That would be my read on the situation.

Great interview. I cannot stand Trump, nor do I care for Joe T.'s (IMO) very aggressive courtroom demeanor. But I am impressed with Joe T. bc (1) he agreed to be interviewed only by his former colleague, because of their long-time friendship and mutual respect for each other, (2) I was previously unaware of his extensive work history in civil rights, and that ratchets up my respect for him, and (3) his ethical stance on keeping his attorney-client matters (including his personal opinions of Trump) confidential. I'm happy to be pleasantly surprised by him, thanks to this interview. That being said, I hope Trump gets jail time.
