I don’t know if I’d call that doubling down. For them to come out and say anything that could be construed as disparaging or even hinting that Trump is guilty here would be extremely unprofessional (they’re job is to represent the client), so this is a pretty boiler plate resignation message.
The real message is in the timing. Leaving your client hanging with just a couple of days before the hearing speaks volumes. Whatever the conflict or disagreement that existed here, it was big.
I’d mostly agree, but I’d say that there’s a bit of a spectrum. They could have said “it’s been an honor and we know he will be vindicated against these unjust charges” and I think that would have been sufficiently professional in my opinion. Going on to question the integrity of the justice system itself with “partisan weaponization of the American justice system” is beyond what’s necessary to me.
Very fair point. The unsealed indictment paints an interesting picture that I’m still digesting into this whole tapestry (Trump and his aide successfully tricked his lawyers into attesting that all documents had been turned over through a shell game of boxes in different locations and properties). I need one of those big cork boards with pictures and red string to organize all of the parts to this mess.
