Former President Donald Trump has replaced his top Georgia lawyer ahead of his surrender Thursday evening, sources tell CNN.
Drew Findling, the lawyer who has led Trump’s defense in Georgia, is being replaced by Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based attorney whose website profile describes him as a “special counsel for white collar and high-profile defense.”

Kind of a shame it’s just weird lighting on a normal-looking dude, versus being the sign that this is all a fever dream you can wake up from. I say you because my coma delirium wouldn’t involve this many false starts. Comey’s gonna charge him, whoops, nevermind. Mueller’s gonna charge him, whoops, nevermind. We’re going to war with Iran, whoops, nevermind. We’re holding cops accountable, whoops, nevermind. The plague means UBI, whoops, nevermind. Roger Stone’s going to jail, whoops, nevermind. A mob invaded the capitol, whoops, nevermind. Russia’s seizing Ukraine, whoops, nevermind. Ukraine’s expelling Russia, whoops, nevermind. Wagner’s conquering Moscow, whoops, nevermind. The last seven years have been like a story told by a toddler. “And then… and then… but nuh-uh… and then…”
Seeing the figure of highest ridicule - whom I remember reading about in Bloom County collections when they were far from new - fail his way into the clumsiest autocracy imaginable, would not be followed up by this much inaction. Hallucinations don’t start with “Carrot Top became the Pope!” and then level out. He’s declaring a crusade on Gallagher, the Swiss Guard develop laser-pikes, and your childhood dog kills the emperor of Australia. So whichever one of you is having this nightmare, I want you to know your subconscious is fucking boring.
“Reality is stranger than fiction,” is not merely pith, but as grim and perverse a promise as “May you live in interesting times,” is.
