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.

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.
Even my neighbor whos in her 80s doesn’t do that.
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.
