Special counsel Jack Smith took a meeting with attorneys representing former President Donald Trump earlier this year and reportedly sat in stone-cold silence while they pleaded with him not to indict their client.
Politico reports that ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl’s new book on Trump’s post-presidential life claims that Trump lawyers Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro met with Smith’s team over the summer and gave them a list of reasons why charging Trump with crimes related to his efforts to illegally remain in power would be a mistake.
According to Karl, Smith sat through through the presentation without saying a word.
Polls conducted by cold calling people on the phone. Think about the type of people who answer those calls and have 15 minutes to spare to answer questions.
When I did polls over the phone I dreaded the political polls the most because they were 30 minutes long and if they didn’t get finished then I got into trouble. Generally, 10-15 minutes is when I would be asked how much longer it would take. I didn’t want to tell the (full) truth so I would say that it would be a bit longer. Sometimes I would tell the full amount. A few people would be okay with it but some chewed me out.
The Jiffy Lube ones were only 5 minutes.
Even my neighbor whos in her 80s doesn’t do that.
