When Does Legal Advice Cross the Line Into Crime?


Wall Street Journal: “In Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis alleges that Trump and 18 co-defendants conceived and orchestrated a criminal conspiracy to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential win.”

“Eight of those co-defendants are lawyers. Many of the events cited in the Georgia indictment and in a parallel federal case from Special Counsel Jack Smith, against Trump alone, involve lawyers telling the then-president he could prevail in his fight to prove he won though no such path existed.”

“Prosecutors contend that amounts to criminal behavior because it propelled a conspiracy to overturn the legitimate result of the election. The defendants are expected to argue that giving aggressive legal advice isn’t a crime.”
