    Having heard him make a deposition, Lindell’s the kind of guy I could see insisting on representing himself against better judgement.

      It was unclear if Lindell would retain new counsel in the case. As Foster pointed out, business entities cannot represent themselves in court.

      lol not even if he wanted to (which would be very entertaining to watch, sadly)

      You… you’ve seen his commercials right? He seems like not only the kind of guy who would represent himself, but he would also be on a ton of cocaine when he does it.

      Can you practically represent yourself (as a non-lawyer) in a court as high as what he needs to appeal? They will throw it out on procedure grounds alone right?

      I don’t think he can. I seem to recall businesses aren’t allowed to represent themselves in court.
