Here to win
Castor reminded critics that Trump is ultimately paying him to win the case and that he will do whatever necessary to make that happen, no matter the cost to his own reputation.
“If winning the case has a consequence that I have to take a few torpedos in order to focus attention on us and away from what the House managers are doing, then that is part of the danger in being a trial lawyer, when prevailing is of greater importance that personal gradiosement.”
“One of the reasons I made the audible I did yesterday was to dial back the emotion,” Castor said. “Because when you distill the House Managers’ case down to its smallest essence, their case is what happened on January 6 is so bad that it justifies the abrogation of all constitutional protections.”
