I am SICK of writing about Trump: D team level lawyers, but political allies: Bad karma, and this when Ukraine is burning. Ukraine more important
I am sick and tired of the attention of the United States being sucked into the defense of an ex POTUS whereas Ukraine is burning and defending the entire WORLD from hostile takeover
What it comes down to is that Trump is using Mafioso logic to extort the attention of the USA and others whom served the USA

Whereas UKRAINE is protecting the entire PLANET

Russian occupation has stretched across two southern regions in particular, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, and Ukraine has vowed to launch a counter-offensive to recapture areas under Russian control.
After the Russian air base at Saky was hit last Tuesday , satellite images revealed significant damage, with at least eight warplanes destroyed. Although Russia said that incident was also accidental, there was little doubt the base had come under Ukrainian attack, because of the precise nature of the destruction.
The UK ministry of defence said the blasts had "significantly degraded" the aviation capability of the Russian navy's Black Sea fleet.

While the MEDIA is fixated upon the thrilling episode as of if DONALD TRUMP had his precious FEELINGS HURT, UKRAINE is fighting and dying for the ENTIRE PLANET. When will the authorities in America shut down this clown show, and straight out deal with the national security threat, as in MAR A LAGO, and give time for the fact that Ukraine, more than Britain did in 1940, is doing the world a favor ?
This fixation on Donald Trump's HURT feelings is almost journalistic malpractice. This when certain MEDIA stars should get it that there would be NO world worth living in now if Ukraine folded, and Putin marched into Berlin with his tank legions

Experts were stunned after Donald Trump attorney?Alina Habba urged the Department of Justice to reveal the name of the witness ?who reportedly tipped off the FBI about the classified documents which were still at Mar-a-Lago when a search warrant was executed last week.
"The president's position, the same as what I would advise him, is to ask them to uncover everything so that we can see what is going on," Habba said on Newsmax. "I understand the witness protection issue, but at the same time, these witnesses are truly not going to be concealed for very long."
"It's in the best interest so that the country can get comfortable to see what the basis was, especially from someone who was cooperating," she claimed.
Habba's website says she is licensed to practice law in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, and the United States District Court for the Districts of the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. She is the former president's attorney in the case?Trump vs. Mary Trump, The New York Times Company, et al.
Habba also served as?general counsel for a parking garage company ?and was sued for allegedly creating a hostile workplace by blasting raunchy hip-hop at work and?singing the N-word .
Legal experts were stunned by her comments.

On Tuesday,?The Washington Post?reported ?that former President Donald Trump is struggling to find reputable lawyers to assist him as the FBI investigates his unusual retention of highly classified information at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
"The struggle to find expert legal advice puts Trump in a bind as he faces potential criminal exposure from a records dispute with the National Archives that escalated into a federal investigation into possible violations of the Espionage Act and other statutes," reported Isaac Arnsdorf, Josh Dawsey, Carol D. Leonnig, Jacqueline Alemany, and Rosalind S. Helderman. "'Everyone is saying no,' said a prominent Republican lawyer, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential conversations."
"Ordinarily, the prestige and publicity of representing a former president, as well as the new and complex legal issues at stake in this case, would attract high-powered attorneys. But Trump’s search is being hampered by his divisiveness, as well as his reputation for stiffing vendors and ignoring advice," said the report. "'In olden days, he would tell firms representing him was a benefit because they could advertise off it. Today it’s not the same,' said Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for Trump who was convicted of tax evasion, false statements, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress in 2018. 'He’s also a very difficult client in that he’s always pushing the envelope, he rarely listens to sound legal advice, and he wants you to do things that are not appropriate, ethically or legally.'"
According to the report, the legal team Trump is stuck with is less than prepared to help him with such a high-profile legal battle.
"People familiar with the search for legal help said the effort includes Susie Wiles, a close adviser to Trump, and attorney Christina Bobb, who was present at Mar-a-Lago during the search and signed for the list of documents taken," said the report. "Former campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn is taking a prominent role, and former White House aide Kash Patel is advising informally. Patel is raising money for a 'legal offense' fund by selling merchandise such as tank tops and beanies emblazoned with the logo 'K$H.'"
"Trump’s other lawyer currently based in Florida is Lindsey Halligan, whose practice, according to a professional biography, focuses on insurance claims at residential and commercial properties," said the report. "She was admitted to the Florida bar in 2014. A search of federal court records found no filings under her name. She did not respond to requests for comment."

Ukraine war: Russia blames sabotage for new Crimea blasts
By Paul Kirby
BBC News
A week after an apparent Ukrainian attack on a Russian military base in occupied Crimea, an arms store at another military facility has been hit by a series of explosions.
Blaming "sabotage", Russian officials said a fire triggered the blasts in the Dzhankoi area, another fire hit a power station and a railway was damaged.
A string of blasts last week destroyed Russian warplanes at a Black Sea base on the Crimean coast.
Ukraine has not admitted that attack.
However, presidential office adviser Mykhailo Podolyak has described the latest incident as "demilitarisation in action", indicating that the explosions were not accidental.
Crimea was seized from Ukraine and then annexed by Russia in early 2014.
Russia gave no indication of the kind of sabotage involved in Tuesday's attack.
The FSB security service said Ukrainian saboteurs had also blown up six electricity pylons this month inside Russia itself.
The attacks in the Kurchatov area, about 100km (60 miles) from Ukraine's north-east border, had affected the "technological process of functioning" of the Kursk nuclear plant, it added.
However, Rosenergoatom, the operator of the plant, has disputed the FSB account and attributed the lowered output "to a fault at a sub-station outside the territory of the nuclear power plant".
Russia's defence ministry said Tuesday's explosions in northern Crimea took place at a temporary ammunition storage site on a base near the village of Maiske at about 06:15 Moscow time (03:15 GMT). A Crimean Tatar leader, Refat Chubarov, called the explosions a "hit" that could be heard "far across the steppe".
The defence ministry in Moscow said there had been no "serious" casualties, but Russian-appointed regional head Sergei Aksyonov visited the site and said 2,000 people had been moved from a nearby village and two people had been wounded.
"One man has a shrapnel wound and one was crushed by a wall. Their lives are not in danger, fortunately," he said.
The spokesman for Ukraine's Air Force Command, Yuriy Ignat, said the explosions were caused by Russia "not observing fire precautions".
"We are of course satisfied by the fact, because Dzhankoi [where the explosions took place] was one of the locations where the enemy kept their helicopters and other equipment," Mr Ignat told a news conference.
When Russian forces unleashed the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, they used their bases on the annexed Crimean peninsula to capture large swathes of southern Ukraine.
Russian occupation has stretched across two southern regions in particular, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, and Ukraine has vowed to launch a counter-offensive to recapture areas under Russian control.
After the Russian air base at Saky was hit last Tuesday , satellite images revealed significant damage, with at least eight warplanes destroyed. Although Russia said that incident was also accidental, there was little doubt the base had come under Ukrainian attack, because of the precise nature of the destruction.
