Trump Fumed That He Had The "Stupidest" Lawyers During His Second Impeachment Trial

As reported based on Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency:

Former President Donald Trump was not impressed with the team of lawyers representing him in his second impeachment trial, according to a new book.

He was "spitting furious" after a legal brief they filed was riddled with typos and he fumed to anyone who would listen that he had the "stupidest" lawyers...


Gee, could it have anything to do with word getting around that you 1)don't listen and 2)don't pay?

You don't pay lawyers, then you get shitty lawyers who are doing it for the exposure.

He didn't want legal counsel, he just wanted results to turn out his way.
