isnt it weird that trumps lawyers are going along with this…?? like i get that trump is a whacked out of his brain narcissist, but those lawyers have to go home and explain to their spouses that they just argued for King Trump being able to kill people. wtf
It gets better, they get to go home and explain why they werent paid to argue that he can kill people :D
The probono part isn’t a surprise anymore right?
They’re married to other maga types.
Counterpoint: Clearance Thomas’s wife
I believe these lawyers do it as a show for their potential mob clients. They want to demonstrate that they are loyal to the client not the court, will employ tricks like delay tactics to turn the court in their favor, maximizing the pressure for the opponent to drop the case due to costs mounted by this waste of time at court, etc.
The only lawyers he can get are the ones stupid enough to work for Trump. Competent lawyers would require payment and for Trump to follow basic instructions like “don’t threaten witnesses, the judge, or opposing council.”
This doesn’t surprise me at all.
Criminals tend to use lawyers that skirt the laws a lot. E.g. like in Breaking Bad.
You want a “criminal” lawyer.
