A defense lawyer for El Chapo is throwing shade at Brooklyn federal prosecutors, questioning why the government has nothing better to do than harp on his tweets.

“Apparently, the government’s limitless resources allow it the luxury of wasting time filing frivolous motions,” Eduardo Balarezo, the lawyer for accused drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, wrote in response to prosecutors’ request that Judge Brian Cogan admonish him for tweeting about the case.

“Perhaps the government’s time would be better spent paring down its case and streamlining its presentation so that judicial resources are not squandered for the next several months,” Balarezo added.

His client’s drug-trafficking trial is expected to last up to 16 weeks, during which prosecutors will attempt to prove that Guzman ran a continuing criminal enterprise, including ordering murders, for more than 30 years.

Prosecutors late Thursday filed a motion asking Cogan to chastise Balarezo, saying a Twitter account belonging to his law firm had been commenting on the case.

They claimed Balarezo was threatening cooperating witness Miguel Angel Martinez by posting a link to a song, “Un puño de Tierra” — or “A Fistful of Dirt” — hours after Martinez testified that Chapo had him serenaded with the same song before trying to have him assassinated for the fourth time.

“Cooperator Miguel Angel Martinez Martinez (alias ‘Tololoche’) is not a Twitter follower of @BalarezoLaw and his name was not mentioned with the tweet,” the lawyer responds. “Unless the government informed Martinez Martinez of the tweet, there is no reason he would even be aware of it.”

Cogan has yet to rule on whether he will admonish Balarezo for his case-related tweets.
