Between the times you and Edge- posted this,
I had time to read the judge's ruling. I understood
maybe 20% of it, maximum, but there is one key takeaway that stuck out.
Now, the judge will go on at
great length to discuss how much the defence, Clinton's lawyers, are due and why. Like, it starts at page 34 and goes on until page 45, hardee har har. And see the bolded above -- they submitted over three hundred pages detailing exactly how much they were due, and why. After reading that, I was still confused, but at least I know what "block billing" is.
I mean, I don't blame them -- it's not like they had any legal arguments from Team Trump to smack down.
But.
The literal very next line is
No really, it's page 35, check for yourself.
I think @
cubby needs to sound off on this, because he actually knows what he's talking about and I don't, but to me at least, this looks like the single biggest difference between Trump's lawyers, like any/all of them, and...like, the entire rest of the profession. You know,
competent lawyers.
Allow me to extend the judge's depiction of, what appears to be in legalspeak, "a fucking trainwreck of a clownshow and a shitshow".
