It’s the juries that provide the biggest concerns, I’d imagine. Even if you get a good judge, one MAGA juror could be a problem. And failure in this venue on the state’s part would strengthen rather than weaken his political position. And finding a jury that isn’t tainted at this juncture would be like encountering Bigfoot in the wild. Allegedly possible, but damned unlikely.

If, against all odds, he does comply, he's throwing everyone under the bus. And probably driving the bus too. And then reversing over them.

[@SnarkyLady]

Hes a 🐓💩.

[@altrag]

If he complies, there are two possibilities: 1) Private deposition: He'll just plead the fifth a few hundred more times like he did last time. 2) Publicly broadcast: He'll throw himself under the bus and then spend the next year proclaiming how "smart" he was when he's on TV, while claiming it was entrapment as soon as the feds show up to bust him for his essentially guaranteed perjury under oath. Both are bad looks for him - his best option to avoid putting himself in more trouble is of course just not showing up. Apparently you're immune to contempt charges if you claim to have enough zeroes on your bank statements (actual proof of wealth doesn't seem to be required - still waiting on those tax returns, Donald). His next best bet would be #1 of course, as pleading the fifth couldn't be used against him in any of the many ongoing criminal investigations. It _could_ be used against him in his multitude of civil investigations though, so its still not ideal (for him). That said, there's an argument for #2 over #1: Making that entrapment claim would cause yet more delays for the DoJ and hold up their investigations even longer. And given that Trump's main goal at the moment seems to be just delaying until 2024 when he thinks he'll both regain the presidency and that doing so would just wipe away all of his crimes, there is _some_ potential reason for him to take this route over #1 (not showing up at all is still by far the better choice though, as long as we keep ignoring those contempt charges for rich white dudes).

After all this fiasco withTFG is over, I will be going back in time to watch your Closer Looks again and again. I laugh so hard! #southernlawyer Thanks always for your succinctly on-point views! Well done! And Keep laughing.

[@KipArmadillo]

Little-known fact - Al Pacino's character in "Scent of a Woman" is just a bad impression of Seth's legendary Southern attorney character.

[@gratefuljackal8183]

That dead bird bit was GOLD! Seth must have minored in miming at impressions camp. I wish I could find an error so this could be rehashed in Corrections.

[@errgag3580]

Shouldn't we just call the GOP the FIFTH party? Isn't that all they ever plead when it really counts? Goes to prove that only guilty criminals plead the fifth.

Now. As a running joke, can they use their drawn on Rudy picture in the future please.

[@Edu_Kate]

Why hasn't he been arrested? He hasn't paid his ex wife so he was supposed to go to jail.

[@ukiie]

The southern lawyer needs too be around more that guy slays it🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@christinegarrett7257]

Some points about the graphics: The smiley face on Rudy was great. The white suit is too big for Seth and he needs a vest underneath. The Teams graphic says he's muted but the mic at the top isn't crossed out, so he's not muted.

[@The123fiona]

Move this to Corrections

[@EskWIRED]

Not only that, but turquoise bolo ties are from the southwestern US, like Arizona or New Mexico. Seth needed a tie like Colonel Sanders or Calvin Candie to look like a southern gentleman.

[@christinegarrett7257]

I was fairly certain that the tie wasn't right. Not something I see down in the south. I think we found the one Graphics purposefully messed up to see if Seth would notice.

This was fantastic Seth & writers 😁😄

Jamie Foxx Trump impression is a wee bit better, but only the voice part

[@alexmartinez5859]

It’s kinda sad really. Before 2015, when the thing started running for office, I probably wouldn’t have been able to tell Seth was referencing Agolf Twitter. Now its pervasive nature has become Pandora’s Box and we can’t close it, even if it wanted to.

[@LeafseasonMagbag]

I have wanted nothing less than for Trump himself to sit before an investigation! Finally be get to see him make a legendary ass of himself.

[@jb888888888]

I feel like Seth did that "hypothetical Secret Service text messages" bit before, complete with tranq and Big Mac.

[@ruthbennett7563]

I think he used McNuggets… but it’s still funny today. Likely because it has the ring of truth.

[@Dan-mf2dl]

It was the "chicken nugget protocol" iirc

A full Southern lawyer bit. Kevin Smith is so happy right now, lol Also, as someone who had a Southern grandma, his pronounciation of video is spot-on.

Watching him on the hearings would be insane. And just what we need. Catch him in the lies. Let him feel what it feels like to be held accountable.

There’s just something about hearing him say out loud that he’s embarrassed that he lost (which…duh) that makes this even worse for the people who worship him. It’s really sad.

[@SnarkyLady]

Narcs dont feel embarrassment. He wanted to be pres to pardon himself

[@Dan_Ben_Michael]

He was admitting it privately until he had the epiphany that his stupid-ass followers will send him money to “pay for legal costs to overturn the election”.
