  1. I see a ratings blockbuster in the making.

  2. No you are allowed to represent yourself, no one said he did anything wrong representing himself...but maybe he is having trouble getting lawyers to work for him with all the issues he had with other lawyers.

    As for whether he is "guilty" of what they are accusing him of.....I have no facts before me so I am not even gonna bother. I have repeatedly said all these charges and claims are useless until they actualy make a case and file charges with actual facts.

  3. Florida law might require a licensed attorney to sign a filing. Therefore trump could have drafted it himself and got any lawyer to simply sign it for him so that it can be filed.

  4. And even more so when the person who is not a lawyer is Donald trump.

    Recall that Trump answered Mueller's questions in written form because his lawyers knew he would perjure himself if he spoke to Mueller directly.

    This is going to be primetime entertainment.

  8. UsualName

    To be fair he can add counsel at any time in the proceedings. I bet my bottom dollar his attorneys advised against this suit because it is another Avenue for the government to collect evidence against him and of course the suit itself is frivolous.

  9. I checked, from what I hear he is not representing himself pro se, he does have counsel and they signed the thing.

    I think the media ran with the comment in the first page of the filing.
