No, no, no, he had a choice and he's choosing poorly,' ElieNYC says of AG Garland defending fmr. Pres. Trump in a defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll ElieNYC If you take over a law firm and their are active cases in the books by Law you have to represent those case. that is what happened here with the Trump case. Garland has no other choice unless Trump gets an attorney for himself. ElieNYC I dont believe this person ElieNYC Yes, the AG had a choice and he chose to protect a fellow man at the expense of a woman who suffered abuse from that man.
