We've always taken a keen interest in the affairs of Mr. Trump, who seems to share our goal of destroying the United States. I am puzzled, however, by all today's talk about the "crime-fraud exception".

I mean, where Mr. Trump is concerned, isn't crime and fraud the rule, rather than the exception?

The American legal system is a mystery to me.

"It seems that Trump has a habit of ensnaring his attorneys in allegedly illegal activities.

If this seems like deja vu, it’s because another district court judge, David Carter, delivered a similar ruling in a different matter (regarding the Jan. 6 committee subpoena) relating to a different attorney (John Eastman) and a different potential crime (defrauding the United States and obstruction of an official proceeding)"
