  • No idea. I can see not up voting it. I think it’s a bit of a non-story. Country looks to maybe join a group containing it’s some of it large trading partners. This group might or might not do something on the future. Only interesting bit is it’s the BRICS.

    But a down vote just feels unnecessary. The story is factual. The source is fine. It might be relevant to someone.



  • Meh. Lawyers represent unsavory clients all the time. I think Trump’s treatment of his lawyers is the issue for most. Using them as political spokespersons and his reputation of not paying.

    My guess is it’ll go like this:

    Trump: Judge, I can’t find a lawyer with the skills to represent me.

    Judge: Give me the list of people you tried to get to represent you.

    The judge looks over the list see someone they knows.

    Judge: Mr. X is appointed to Trump’s lawyer team and will be paid 1.2 x [standard rate]. Trump will put Y amount into escrow to ensure payment.

    Add some rules about what exactly the appointed lawyer will do and done. Trump can’t argue for improper representation later.
