What's the difference between Trump and a guy in county jail because of a bag of heroin? Not much, both their lawyers know they are guilty.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

These people are so confused lol.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The high-profile Atlanta attorney is known for representing celebrity clients like Cardi B, Migos’ Offset, DaBaby, and NBA Youngboy, garnering him the moniker #BillionDollarLawyer.
Findling has also been a frequent backer of Democratic political figures, so much so that in 2020 he donated to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ primary campaign.
The donation wouldn’t normally raise eyebrows, except that Findling is currently one of Donald Trump’s lead attorneys helping the former president fight RICO charges handed down by Willis on Monday.
Findling donated $1,440 to Willis’ district attorney bid in July of 2020, according to campaign disclosure reports flagged by American Bridge 21st Century, a Democratic research outfit.
Trump’s legal team responded to the indictment, as well, writing in a statement that Willis and prosecutors’ created a “one-sided grand jury presentation” that “relied on witnesses who harbor their own personal and political interests — some of whom ran campaigns touting their efforts against the accused and/or profited from book deals and employment opportunities as a result.”
In response to Trump’s targeting of the Central Park Five, Findling called his statements “racist, cruel, sick, unforgivable and un-American.” When Trump attacked NBA superstar Lebron James as unintelligent, Findling called him “pathetic.” He also heavily advocated for President Joe Biden during the 2020 election cycle, donating a total of $8,400 to the Biden Victory Fund and his campaign.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
A whole 1400 dollars, that’s a pittance as far as campaign donations go but it’s still funny that this guy clearly hates trump but is now representing him.
