Former Trump lawyers have been waving 'red flags' about the 'crazy legal team' they were working with

Appearing on MSNBC, former federal prosecutor Cynthia Alksne marveled at Donald Trump's legal team's bickering and internal strife that has led some attorneys to bail and go public with their complaints.

Speaking with MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin, the legal analyst focused on ex-Trump lawyers Evan Corcoran and Tim Parlatore who have provided the Department of Justice with a wealth of information that could be used to indict the former president.

"You have this former Trump lawyer saying he was told that Mar-a-Lago, the storage room was the only location in which classified documents were stored," the MSNBC host prompted. "He was waved off searching other locations at the property. If you are Jack Smith, what do you make of that?"

"What I make of it is what Jack Smith has already made of it," Alksne replied. "Which is that he has figured out that there is a crime fraud exception and he went ahead and got a federal judge to agree with him."

"I can't tell you how rare that is and he is obviously suspicious of the information that Corcoran is getting from his client," she continued. "And recognize also -- this is kind of interesting -- a bunch of red flags [from] Corcoran who knew he had a problem."

"First of all, when it came time to write that statement that said there were no more documents here, he drafted it but would not even sign it, okay? That is a red flag," she explained. "Then he gives it to another baby lawyer, who had another million other problems, and she wouldn't sign, and lord knows that woman will sign anything, and that was without some kind of a disclaimer."

"Now we also know, which shows there is a huge problem, that Corcoran has been in the grand jury, and he also kept meticulous, like long notes," she told the host. "It's like he was writing a novel or something about every conversation that he had, he audiotaped them while he was driving and they have been transcribed and given to the grand jury. It is so detailed is is beyond lawyer's notes into CYA notes; that is another red flag, he knows he is dealing with somebody who is not being straight with him."

"Now we know, what's also happening in this crazy legal team, is that [ex-Trump lawyer Tim] Parlatore has quit and he's accusing this Boris [Epshteyn] guy of obstructing getting the information from Bedminster, " she added. "So this is a bunch of some kind of beetles in a bottle together, and we will watch them fight it out."
