It’s not a big story, but it speaks to the kind of competence you get when you value syncophantic loyalty over everything else.
In a filing from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office on Tuesday, prosecutors revealed that Mr Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche had tried to subpoena former District Attorney Supervising Rackets Investigator Jeremy Rosenberg in March, to seek files related to the Republican presidential candidate’s former lawyer Michael Cohen.
But, whoopsie! They served the subpoena on the wrong Jeremy Rosenberg. Rather than the investigator, it went to some dude in Brooklyn who has nothing to do with the case.
It was a subpoena for documents, so service was by mail, but this happened in Brooklyn, so I like to imagine Trump’s crack legal team wheezing after a hipster atop a Penny Farthing, impeccably waxed mustache not flapping in the breeze, deftly evading their attempt at service whilst sipping craft beer.
The icing on the cake is that they included $15.00 with the subpoena to cover costs incurred in producing the documents, and not-Investigator Rosenberg says he’s keeping the money.
Trump’s lawyers response to all this was appropriately Trumpy:
Mr Blanche had complained earlier this week that the man that he believed the former investigator Mr Rosenberg had displayed a “flippant and dismissive approach” to his subpoena “despite ample experience with the criminal justice system that should have instilled in him respect for this process and a criminal defendant’s rights”.
In other words
Clik here to view.
The prosecution’s response:
“The people believe the defendant has served the incorrect person,” Mr Colangelo said in a court filing.
And this shitshow hasn’t truly started. Popcorn and mugs full of tears for everyone!
