(MORE) I get very creeped out when my research takes me near Trump’s pageants or Trump Models, as generally things in that sphere of Trumpworld get extraordinarily dark—and quickly. In case you forgot, we learned about the tip of that huge iceberg in 2016: https://t.co/lT4xvQDYjA — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(MORE) I’m not going to go farther down this rabbit-hole because I don’t want to know what if anything is at the end, but I’ll say that Attorney Halligan was apparently involved—and very successful—in Trump pageants in Colorado in 2009 and 2010. I have no idea if they met then. — PolitiTweet.org

@psuedofolio @jsessions8032 That is fair. I do understand that sometimes people respond before the thread has unfolded. I will leave to your judgment what you do with the tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChocTwizzlers He did so on his podcast—as my tweet indicates. Saying that there is *no evidence* of criminality on Trump’s part in the January 6 timeline is a forceful (and forcefully dishonest) defense of the man and attack on the House January 6 Committee. And he is saying it for *ratings*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(🔓) I really think that one of the best essays I’ve ever written at PROOF was a five-parter about—among other things—my backchannel experiences with Chris Cuomo, which I went public with after he and/or his agents began lying about them. It’s a wild ride. https://t.co/JEktX8GSlZ — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS5) There was a window when Maher thought justice would catch up to Trump and considered a pivot. Then Mueller—the man, not his work—flopped. On CNN, Cuomo trended left until he decided ratings required a contrast to Maddow, at which point he became performatively bothsidesist. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS4) Republicans want to be told that the far-left fringe of the Democratic Party represents the majority of the party so they can self-justify continuing to vote for neo-Nazis and white supremacists who hate the poor. Cuomo and Maher will feed them that slop until they retire. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS3) On the other hand, this schtick is so easy to perform for credulous far-right audiences that neither Cuomo nor Maher need to be particularly sophisticated thinkers. They just do what FNC does: take the farthest-left fringe and *pretend* it’s the mainstream Democratic Party. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS2) When the alternative is being out of the public eye altogether, guys like Cuomo or Maher will make a financial killing pretending to be liberals but honestly sounding like they’ve no idea whatsoever how most Democrats think or what most Democrats are saying. It’s so tiring. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS) To be clear, Chris Cuomo’s plan will work just fine. There’s nothing the far right likes more than a self-described liberal who spends all his time skewering supposed liberal orthodoxy as a way of getting revenge for his own past bad behavior (and the consequences thereof). — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
Cuomo was willing to lay low for all of a few months—now he’s back with a podcast and interviews in which he defends Trump and demands America move on from January 6. We’ve seen his tack-to-the-right schtick from amoral men without political values before. https://t.co/JyXEbbgeW5 — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(MORE) And here it is: evidentiary support for a working theory. Trump wants to find another Christina Bobb—an attractive advocate who can simultaneously do media for him and talk about his frivolous lawsuits, and who’s willing to do this because she always wanted to be on cable. https://t.co/tNoFkW2erM — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
RIP to an absolute legend. https://t.co/AjI0o33Ctc — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(MORE) Christina Bobb is now simultaneously a Trump lawyer and “journalist” working on a coup plot for Trump. How long before Attorney Halligan finds herself being asked by her new client to play this sort of dual role? There’s a clear modus operandi here. https://t.co/6ffr4dFias — PolitiTweet.org
GL Bell SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED! @gbellnasa
Christina Bobb, who is now one of DJT’s lawyers, spoke last night about the pathway to decertify the 2020 election… https://t.co/IkzZu6WaX5
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(MORE) If you think this part of Trump’s corruption doesn’t matter, consider that on January 6 Bobb was the *only Trump agent* with simultaneous (a) journalistic access to the Capitol, (b) Trump legal team access to his Willard war room, (c) DHS contacts from her past employment. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(MORE) Which brings us to why this story matters. Trump’s plot has long been to hire attractive women as legal surrogates who he then inserts in TV roles so he gains control of media narratives. Pam Bondi. And Christina Bobb? She became an insurrectionist. https://t.co/d1nUwhp8UK — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(MORE) She’s also working *way* outside her area of expertise—which seems profoundly irresponsible to me. Of course, my working theory of the case is that this is a self-consciously frivolous suit Halligan is merely a media liaison for, presumably in preparation for a TV career. https://t.co/xoCpngwl2D — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS12) And not for nothing, Attorney Halligan *knows or should know* that she is being [not] paid to file a frivolous lawsuit—as Trump’s 35,000+ lies as a politician have been documented with *excruciating* exactness by major media. So she does not have clean hands here. At all. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS11) If Halligan has the same experience as past Trump lawyers, (a) she won’t be paid; (b) Trump will ask her or her agents to tamper with witnesses; (c) Trump will ask her to lie to the court or demand she get others to lie for him; (d) may ultimately ask her to commit crimes. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS10) And I think it’s possible that *that’s* why Trump—a billionaire former POTUS again seeking the Oval Office, and suing one of the largest media entities in the world—has Halligan as an attorney: because the *overwhelming* majority of attorneys *agree with me* about the RPC. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS9) Moreover, Trump has a *long* history of using the legal system to harass and intimidate people *and* using his lawyers to commit crimes. I personally feel that lawyers have a *responsibility* under the RPC to *not represent* an individual who has *all these traits* at once. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS8) Halligan can spend her time as she likes—I 100% don’t care. But when I was a public defender, my clients were appointed; she’s *choosing* to launch a frivolous suit for a career criminal, active insurrectionist, and serial sexual assailant who doesn’t pay/listen to lawyers. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS7) So is Trump filing a suit intended as a mere media spectacle—in other words a political stunt that should offend our justice system *and* far-right voters who say they hate frivolous suits—or is it that he can’t anymore get lawyers of the stature ex-POTUSes usually command? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS6) A lawsuit of this sort is a *massive* undertaking. The client is a self-described *billionaire*—and *ex-POTUS*. Were Trump serious about the suit, he’d hire a *huge firm*/lawyers with *decades* of experience in highly complex litigation. But here’s Halligan on Bannon’s pod? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@psuedofolio Did you read the whole thread? Really? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS5) When Trump hires an ex-model who’s not managed to put her professional identity as a lawyer out front in ten years of practice to file an obviously morally bankrupt lawsuit that’s *really* just a way to get a telegenic lawyer on Newsmax/OANN to rail about media, it matters. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS4) Trump generally uses lawyers to commit crimes and/or file nuisance suits intended to harass and intimidate rather than seek justice—so we as journalists *must* write about lawyers who’d agree to represent a career criminal who *neither pays his lawyers nor listens to them*. — PolitiTweet.org
