Todays Jay Kuo is understandably a lot longer than usual today. Lots to consider:

"We don't know for certain yet what defenses Trump will deploy, but we can make some good, educated guesses. One of them will be 'advice of counsel,' that is, that Trump was acting upon the advice of his lawyers and, gosh, he was just listening to them and doing what they said to do.

Trump loves walls, and this argument will run straight into one. You see, advice of counsel doesn't fly if the lawyers themselves were in on the crime. In other words, if the lawyers were co-conspirators with the Defendant on the plot, as the indictment alleges, this defense isn't available. It's a bit like trying to hide your communications behind the attorney-client privilege when your lawyer helped you commit the crime."
