It's this. He doesn't care at all about being genuine or arguing the law in good faith. Without exaggeration, the only time he beings up his """knowledge""" about law or his """credentials""" is when he's trying to appeal to his own authority and use it as a cudgel.
I'm not exaggerating at all, by the way. Look at every one of his legal takes. If we exclude the gimmes like Melinda Scott and Russell Greer, every single one of his hot legal takes has literally just been him spouting his opinion off as if it were infallible fact, ignoring actual legal theory. Rittenhouse and Depp were the only times where his opinion just coincidentally lined up with the facts, and even then, he got literally everything wrong except for the outcome.
He is a child raping fraud, simple as. I want to be very clear, I am accusing Nicholas Rakieta of being both a literal child molester that literally rapes children, and a fraud in the legal sense of the word.
