It's not the job of the defendant nor his lawyers to decide whether it is a valid or "frivolous" charge and proceeding.

This behavior of not even sending a rookie lawyer to attend or address the court reeks of disrespect and disdain for the court.

Disrespect and disdain for ANYONE coming from a President shows how he regards those who hired and pay him.
