The Lawyer Mark Robinson Hired

 

Jesse R. Binnall

Mark Robinson announced on Tuesday that he has hired Jesse R. Binnall, a well known trumpist litigator and a partner in the Binnall Law Group of Alexandria, Va., to find out who in the world who isn't Mark Robinson was posting outrageous comments on porn sites under Robinson's own screen name Minisoldr.

According to The Daily Beast, Binnall represented Trump after the 2020 election in his failed attempt to overturn the electoral vote in Nevada, and he also was "one of several lawyers Trump hired to represent him in his failed racketeering lawsuit against Hillary Clinton. In January 2023, a judge in Florida ordered the case thrown out and fined Trump and another attorney, Alina Habba, $1 million for filing a frivolous lawsuit." Binnall has (so far) escaped any sanctions imposed by judges and bar associations, unlike many of the other lawyers who've worked for Trump. According to the Fund for Investigative Journalism, Binnall has been previously paid at least $4.2 million by the Trump campaign. "Even after the Jan. 6 insurrection, Binnall continued to spread false claims of voter fraud."

Binnall was one of several lawyers who represented retired Gen. Michael Flynn when he withdrew his guilty plea for lying to the FBI, ABC News reported. Flynn was eventually pardoned by then-President Trump that December [of 2020]."

In other words, Binnall may be exactly what Robinson needs, someone adept at pointing the finger elsewhere.
