Trump’s Lawyers’ Lawyers’ Lawyers

There was once a time where representing the President of the United Stares would make your whole legal career. Now it’s just means that’s you won’t get paid and will end up testifying in front of a grand jury and maybe go to jail https://t.co/YUzvl4KQsF

I wouldn't be Trump's lawyer. But I could see being Trump's lawyer's lawyer's lawyer.

There’s no question that Trump desperately needs experienced, first-rate federal criminal defense attorney.

It’s remarkable that a wealthy former President can’t find a single lawyer fitting that description who will take him on as a client. https://t.co/PbvEiKfZq0

Well, it should be remarkable. But all things considered, I’m surprised he can get any legal counsel at all.

Trump is on his 7th/8th (?) legal team since becoming president, and finding a new one has been a challenge amid his desire to treat this as a short term PR issue as opposed to a longer term legal one https://t.co/7loqdzTDJ7

All that’s missing is the threat to make it “the felony from hell.” Although I suppose that can wait until there’s an indictment or two.

“Trump’s lawyers, these people added, have not received a full briefing on precisely what was taken from Mar-a-Lago, complicating discussions about the affidavit.” https://t.co/wAi7zD5AhD
