    Trump keeps his passport and travel rights. DoJ and Trump attorneys had agreed that the witnesses that worked for and around Trump would be able to associate, since basically everyone around Trump has been called as a witness. The Magistrate screws that by ordering that Trump not associate with any witnesses, as he would the defendant in any other case in his court. Both DoJ and Trump lawyers persuade the judge that this is not practical. Compromise reached is that DoJ is to make a list of such people who are off limits to him. It's a really bizarre case. Nauta, his co-dependent, basically lives in immediate contact. Evan Corcoran's notes are huge, and he's still a Trump attorney. There are general warnings not to talk about the case. You know Trump will push or break that given a chance.

    You sure about that? Nauta couldn't plead (and he'll have to go back in a few weeks) because they didn't even arrange to have a lawyer who is licensed in the Florida there for him. Trump had the former Florida soliciter general there for himself.

    How does a Cuban restaurant have a French name with a fleur de lis icon?

    I'm sure Sidney Powell is available if they can arrange a cattle transport truck

    Yeah, and Trump himself was scrambling for a local attorney and wound up settling with the two he had. It's a good bet they still find a local guy to add to the team. Nauta isn't the ex-President, he wasn't a priority to find counsel for.

    The thing about Nauta is half true, I think. The PAC has provided counsel, and is paying until I hear that Nauta has found and hired his own lawyer that isn't on Team Trump. Add that I don't see a line of financial angels stepping up to pay to provide it for him.

    I'll tell you one area where I see a difference. Trump learned something from the blowback caused by his treatment of Michael Cohen. He's not dumping on people whose testimony can break his balls in court, he's trying to keep people close.

    They literally just had to put an attorney with a pulse who is a member of the bar in Florida in the court room for the arraignment. It didn't have to be the lawyer who goes to trial for him. Wasn't a priority? Nauta is the guy Trump is trying to keep close? Hell of a way to make the guy feel secure.
