Another thought about the filings from the Georgia defendants.
Some like Eastman and Clark, are true believers. The CA State Bar was sort of aghast that Eastman showed no remorse. Both were glib about the possibility of violence.
Thomas Jefferson, who in my view gets way too much credit, once said: "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. . . " (see screenshot #2 for the remainder of the quotation.)
@Teri_Kanefield "Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians..." I'm not a historian, but I don't think that's 100% right
One way to tell the true believers: They want Trump to pay for their lawyers. Some of the people who want Trump to pay for their lawyers (like Ellis and Giuliani) are lawyers so they know exactly what it means to have a co-defendant pay your bills: Your interests can't diverge.
Defendants are given the right to pick their own lawyers.
What will happen is that the government makes sure they understand the conflict of interest, otherwise, they'll have an issue on appeal (ineffective assistance of counsel)
