Little Turd
Okay, this will not shock you in any fashion.
The clean-cut, bright, up-and-coming young man who was co-founder of the national organization Students for Trump is in trouble. John Lambert was on national teevee several times urging students to vote for Trump.
The Southern District of New York just charged him with fraud.
John Lambert, 23, was arrested last week and charged by Southern District of New York prosecutors with wire fraud for having invented a lawyer persona named “Eric Pope” that he used to solicit legal work online.
Problem is – Lambert is not a lawyer.
How the hell did he think he could get away with this? When people give you money to be their lawyer, they expect you to do something – file papers, go talk to the prosecutor, get you a will, something.
Nor will it suprise you that he attended a private Christian college in North Carolina.
Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.
It sounds like SDNY is merciless. I. hope, I hope, I hope!
1“How the hell did he think he could get away with this?”
A pardon?
2I’m sure he will soon be appointed to a prominent position. Maybe assistant Attorney-General. As Rick Perry and Betsy Devos have shown, you don’t need any book learning or competence to do well in the Trump era.
Maggie@1: it’s not so much that they are merciless. More that as legal-system-adjacent people, they get all hot u nder the collar when people try to sneak into the Guild.
3Just a young man who has learned the “fine” (sarcasm) ethical and moral values of the Republican nut cases.
4Give the kid a break.
He was just trying to get experience to become Trump’s personal attorney.
You know the stable genius has enough smarts so that his personal lawyer just needs to be a lying, cheating scumbag.
5Until I was introduced to the concept of “projection” I didn’t understand how so many weird and vile concepts could arise from GOPs and flying @$$monkeys about the kinds of corruption and amoral behavior they would accuse Dems of. Now it’s clear: It’s just what they (GOPs) would do in the Dems’ shoes.
But this little piggy broke one of IQ45’s cardinal rules: Don’t get caught…
6This kid sorta reminds me of the nice fresh scrubbed little Preacher Kid who ran for the Legislature in our district last time. Same sort of empty vessel. His only qualification was a bunch of YouTube videos of him preaching. Lives with his Mommy and Daddy, work for them. Oh yes and a degree from I think Morehouse College in Michigan. He got 47% of the vote. He’ll be back.
He’s the same guy whose supporters were stealing yard signs for his opponent that I mentioned on another thread. These Christian colleges must be turning out all kinds of these little twits.
7OT except for a lawyer angle: Have the OTA teevee on in the background, set on the H&I channel and it’s “Monk” day, back-to-back Monk episodes all day (hey, I’m waiting for the upcoming new PBS/BBC “Endeavour” and “Sherlock” series starting in June).
So, Monk is scoping out a crime scene (I guess, wasn’t watching too close). Monk’s assistant Natalie is leafing through a middle(?) school yearbook, she finds the young Adrian Monk listed, his picture and name are listed directly next to a “Robert Mueller”… coincidence?…I think not…
8Speaking of little turds, I just saw on the news that Pierce Bush is considering running against Lizzie Pannill Fletcher for District 7 congressional seat. After all, it DID used to be Grampy’s seat, so he no doubt feels entitled. Ugh.
9Can’t expect much of anything else from the head of the Twitler Youth.
10I’m surprised it took the SDNY – the Texas Board of Public Accountancy will come down on you with a big fine and no court. I should think the lawyer licensors would do the same here. And Jill Ann – please say Pierce won’t run! The Bush family has spent these last months beatifying Daddy Bush and don’t want any of them!
11All this little PoS will have to say is that he’s prayed and asked his god’s forgiveness and he’s been forgiven. They’ll fall all over the “lost lamb” and clutch him to their bosoms more tightly than all the ones who’ve never strayed.
12“The best people” will never not be hilarious.
13Maybe he can get Rudy “Crazy Eyes” Giuliani to represent him.
14Maybe he took his cue from the “Bob’s Burgers” episode where the three kids create the fake law firm of Fromage, Schuster & Pitz-Lopez so they can make the school lunch lady give them extra filling in their tacos.
