Can Trump find any CAPABLE legal talent these days willing to take him as a client?

Asked by HP (6425points) August 17th, 2022

Up against the DOJ, and in view of what becomes of most of his lawyers, it would seem the prospects of the best in the business touching the tar baby slim at best.

He didn’t have capable legal talent even when he had the BEST legal talent in the land!!!

With his ways of not paying and throwing them under the bus at every chance I would say NO!

Apparently not. But frankly, not my problem.

What does it say when not one quality attorney doesn’t want to defend you? You must be a horrible client.

He cooked his own goose by firing them one after another, and the whole shtick of not paying – well, that’s not a good way to make friends.

The Orangutan peaked with his “elite strike force”, “Kraken” lawyers, who eventually got sanctioned for filing frivolous lawsuits.
Now he gets turned down by lawyers, because they can see the writing on the wall:

But then our hero can claim he should be immune to prosecution since he is unable to procure adequate counsel. Can you envision the day Trump appeals his convictions claiming Giuliani an incompetent drunk. How about a claim that since so many of his lawyers have been jailed, disbarred etc. in his service, this is proof of their ineptitude and inability to mount his proper defense.

@HP Sounds like a Trump move actually.

No matter how talented the lawyers, they won’t be able to legally absolve him of his blatantly illegal acts.

Even his ill-gotten funds can’t save his butt. He’s so rich and still doesn’t pay his help?! WOW! Poor pitiful great pumpkin.

The bottom line is EVERYBODY gets screwed—friends, enemies, sycophants, heroes like Cheney who stand up to him. The evil bastard is sure to bless me with a stroke generated at the thought of his malevolent ass.

I think the Saudis made a down payment for TS / SCI documents with LIV (TRUMP) golf contest and he reneged, now he may get a nine iron the groin and a four wood to the left temple two days later !

Will not need a lawyer !

According to the DOJ…it’s NOT the lawyers, it’s 45 himself who causes the problems!!! He tells his lawyers what he is willing to agree with & before they can get it accomplished, he has changed his mind & wants a different deal. Then everything starts over & just when the lawyers get an agreement, 45 changes his mind once again!!!
