(Un)surprisingly, I’m not that funny. Huge fan of Kill Tony and other funny podcasts. RIP Apollo!

  • The Model Rules explicitly disallow the type of defense she’s posing, I.e. “my boss told me it was OK!” She knows this, so she’s attempting to shift to a defense of innocent negligence (lack of diligence), rather than willful violations of law and ethics rules. Which, given she’s just agreed to be convicted of a crime or crimes, is going to be a tough defense to put up.

    I believe Colorado will start separate bar/ethics proceedings now that’s she’s been newly convicted of a crime. She was not convicted when the CO Bar originally censured her, though the subject of the censure is largely the same.

    TL;DR: She’s chock full of shit and hopes the CO Bar is going to punish her for a lack of diligence (which might be a lesser punishment) than for intentionally attempting to subvert an election.

    Disclaimer: take whatever I say with a massive grain of salt, I’m not your lawyer, I’m not barred in Colorado, etc.













  • Remember the look on his face when he won? He was horrified! Same when he first met with Obama and they had a joint press conference. His body language was like, “oh fuck, what am I even doing here.”

    I think regret is hard for him though, because to regret something means you have to feel, in some way, you could have done something better or differently. You have to take ownership of bad feelings and in your part of bad outcomes. I just don’t think his brain will let that happen. Everything bad is always someone else’s fault.

    But yeah…maybe in some dark, cobweb encrusted corner of his mind, he wishes he was just a NY scam artist and fake “tycoon.” It served him well enough, as you noted.
