Thomas C. Goldstein is a 54-year-old lawyer, who owns a law firm that specializes in appellate litigation, a Harvard professor and founder of SCOTUSblog has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges ranging from tax evasion to making false statements. Goldstein is known to be a good poker player and has had his share of ups and downs which appear to have gotten him into some hot water with the law.

Gee - It is good though that he will get his day in court :oops:

And right now there are so many other crooked lawyers available that he can hire because Merrick Garland's ex-special counsel Jack Smith and more than a dozen other of his shady officials got fired (y)

These charges do not diminish Goldstein’s accomplishments, and he is widely respected in legal circles. He taught Supreme Court advocacy at Harvard and Stanford but retired from appellate practice in 2023.The case highlights the challenges faced by a man who has been at the forefront of the legal profession for many years. It serves as both a warning and a thought-provoking experience.

Well, at least it wasn't a sitting Vice President and former Governor this time. Not actually sure Agnew played poker though. Our state flag's the best Need more Old Bay Hon? Suckers

Perhaps you should get your facts straight before you yap off….Jack Smith and other lawyers were not fired by the MAGA president. They resigned. Duh. Obviously you are a Trumper.

Mr Goldstein will definitely get off if he hires Jamie Dutton to represent him ;)

He mucked the winning hand after riving a straight on HCL for a pot of over 200k, maybe just maybe he might not be as good as Advertised
