Honestly, I want very experienced people handling this. It’s too important for some young hot shot to be front and center. I’m going to guess that there are a lot of younger lawyers helping behind the scenes to write affidavits, collect statements, etc. but the up front high pressure stuff we see is for Powell, Wood, Giuliani, etc.

Yeah, but there is also a lot of technical and math stuff, numbers etc. they might be a bit too oldschool presenting this on court πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ, also I observed Rudy does get quite often confused with numbers (see common sense) forgetting to say "thousand" or misquoting them, I mean I understand that, he's almost 80, but on court it has to be BULLETPROOF ENERGETIC PRESENTATION!

I certainly agree with you on the technical part, however that will come out through witness testimony, affidavits, etc. I think what is needed there are convincing witnesses and an experienced lawyer to lead a jury (or SCOTUS) through the story. I made a similar comment above which I’ll repeat here for convenience: My comment with respect to experience is about having time in the courtroom on very high profile cases, handling the media and not getting riled up by them, and expecting/handling the unexpected from challengers. These are things that aren’t as tangible as crunching numbers, making graphs, etc. but are incredibly important for this case and typically gained from trial experience. Rudy took on multiple mob families and won. That’s the type of person we need leading this in my opinion. He also wasn’t that young when he was doing that (maybe 40-ish) so he already had a lot of courtroom experience by then. He was also mayor of NYC and saw all kinds of corruption, etc. Sydney Powell and Lin Wood are obviously very big hitters as well.

So to sum up, hopefully everyone understands I’m not against younger lawyers, but I think in this case they should be taking direction from those very experienced people we already have at the top and not necessarily heading up the whole thing.

I agree with your energetic presentation comment too. I actually worry that this thing will be conducted on Zoom or some bullshit, which is much harder to get through in terms of energizing the courtroom, etc. Doesn’t matter who is presenting or talking, nothing comes across as well through zoom, etc. People need body language, etc.

This is great conversation, thank you for the comment
