    So? We can’t trade AND draw lines in the sand? Yep! They could cut off the exports to China, and have in the past BUT a large proportion of those exports are iron ore and other rare earths. Hopefully soon if plans go the way we are progressing those exports will also include green hydrogen and ammonia

    What I don't get is lawyers can still practice in other states when suspended in another state.
    IIRC: Only Cohen has been disbarred?


    'John Eastman Suspended From Practicing Law by DC Appeals Court'




    Source: BloombergLaw

    'Donald Trump lawyer John Eastman has been temporarily suspended from practicing law in the District of Columbia in response to a similar prohibition by a California judge.

    The suspension is temporary until the final disposition of the California proceeding, DC Court of Appeals Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby wrote Friday.

    uld “safeguard the public” after he made false claims about the 2020 election. The California Supreme Court will make the final determination.

    Eastman is one of several former Trump lawyers facing sanctions. Rudolph Giuliani and Kenneth Chesebro have also had their licenses suspended, and Jeffrey Clark faces possible disbarment after a DC Bar committee on April 4 preliminarily found he violated at least one ethics rule by lying about alleged election fraud.

    In California, Roland in March found that Eastman should be disbarred for knowingly making false claims about Trump winning the 2020 presidential election.

    'Top RNC lawyer resigns after rift grows with Trump'
    Source: Washington Post

    'The top lawyer at the Republican Party is resigning after he cited conflicts with his other work obligations and after Donald Trump grew angry about his criticism of the former president’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, people familiar with the situation said Saturday night.

    The lawyer, Charlie Spies, is a long-respected GOP election operative who was hired by Trump’s top lieutenants in March after the former president engineered a takeover of the Republican National Committee, which in recent years has been the party’s main operation in both fundraising and field operations.

    Trump had approved of the hiring but later learned about additional comments the lawyer had made. Spies in the past had worked for, either directly or indirectly, former Florida governor Jeb Bush (R), Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). He was liked by Trump’s top advisers, who orchestrated his hiring even though they knew he was skeptical of Trump’s false claims of a stolen election.

    “Charlie approached RNC chief of staff Chris LaCivita about potential time commitment conflicts"

    In that case I suspect the "silly game" is that Sidney gets a slap on the wrist in exchange for disregarding the attorney client privilege and testify against Trump in Jacks (maybe Fanni's) case, anything they want her to testify.

    Appeals court is going to hear Trumps interlocutory appeal in Fannis case, challenging the judges decision to allow Fanni to remain on the case. I already think her case is BS, but this will likely push resolution of her case until after the election. If Trump wins, I hope he leaves Jacks cases in place, so they can die an appropriate death in Court as opposed to directing the DOJ to drop the cases.
