Nowhere fast. in order to show prosecutorial misconduct like this, you'd have to show some sort of actual malice on the part of the prosecutor, which just is not at all within the realm of possibility. but, i entirely agree with barr. that's exactly the type of motion trump would file. he will file a motion to try and relitigate the attorney-client fraud exception, even though our nation's second highest court we, the d.c. circuit, has already ruled on that and said that the evidence here show that trump was trying to use his lawyer in order to further a crime. that's why this really great pri...
