In fact, about 3 weeks ago, it occurred to me from Trump's rambling that he doesn't actually know what he will be charged with.
I contacted Mark Reichel, who was my mentor a few decades ago in the federal defender's office. He has a ton more experience than I have. Like 100x more.
I asked him, "Can it be that Trump doesn't know the charges at this point?"
He said Trump has to know: there is always a last-ditch negotiation to avoid charges.
But Trump has not been behaving normally.
