taking on Ghoulie as a client. It's not even about the politics/reputation hit of defending a Trump ally, or the possibility of not being adequately/promptly compensated. It comes down to the same reason why Trump had a hell of a time getting a good legal team for himself -- none of these people want to take on such a babble-mouth, bumble-fuck, foot-gunning client who won't follow their lawyers' instructions to just. shut. the. fuck. up. PERIOD. and make the defense ten times harder than it would otherwise be.
