Josh Marshall on the legal advice Trump is getting:

People arent figuring in the full implications of the last 48 hrs. The ex president is making a false claim of authority (in pectore declassification) and packaging it in a demonstrable lie (the standing order). He appears not to be getting any legal advice at all.

2/ Not bad legal advice. Any legal advice. His current lawyers are an unknown lawyer from New Jersey and a former OAN host. But it seems unlikely even theyre advising him on this. It all suggests a complete implosion and panic in Trumpworld.
