^^^IMO, Mark Geragos is a better actor than his client Jussie Smollett!
Really? MG hasn't seen this kind of piling on before? Has he not had his TV on for the past 6 months?? Has he not perused the news in the past 6 months??
Apparently not.
All this is just paid defense attorney blustering. MG can say anything he wants. He's not in court yet.
Every time MG appears in the media is a $$$$$$ moment for his client. Billed differently than office work. I suspect he bills media appearances or media interviews/ comments the same as court appearances. He's happy, IMO, to have the camera on him as he defends his client and trashes the prosecutor and grand jury. He wins X2-- billable hours, plus high profile media exposure.
What MG is *actually* saying to JS in private consultations is much more direct and blunt about the charges and legal consequences, IMO. He's not coddling him, IMO. No safe spaces and hugs and coloring books-- MG is almost certainly pushing JS to admit the hoax and apologize, so he has a chance to negotiate a better sentence/ plea for JS.
JS, IMO, is being bull headed, and sticking to his story and claims of innocence, so MG has to do what he can with that set of circumstances.
