Trump’s attorney seems no smarter than Trump

I suspect that “the best of the best” wouldn’t touch Trump with a twenty foot pole.

I’m pretty sure the best of the best wouldn’t touch the twenty foot pole touching Trump with another twenty foot pole.

That’s too bad. That poor pole probably deserves good representation after being forced into contact with Trump.

Think the level of mistake that, if we were talking about a doctor instead of a lawyer, would be likely to kill the patient.

A girl can dream.

If democracy is going to be destroyed by evil fascists, I would feel less terrible about it if they were at least genius fascists — then we can look back and say we were outwitted and outmaneuvered by brilliant minds

Exactly. This is more like “the market has spoken.”

Intelligent lawyers know it’s a losing cause and a moral and legal cesspool.

Some of his previous lawyers didn’t get paid (surprise surprise), and you’d just sully your good name and face possible disbarment.

There’s no benefit for them to get involved.

We have a silver lining in the legal clouds. Judge Juan Merchan is the firm, stern, and knowledgeable judge we need in the first criminal trial of Trump to come to trial, past evidence discovery and into jury selection. He’s been very acute with holding the defense to task.
