Mike Barnicle asked Neal Katyal a question...

on MSNBC this morning after the affidavit release: "If you were a lawyer defending tRump, what would you look for?"

I had my response, before Neal even got a word out: "The DOOR!" If I was defending him (God forbid!), I would run for the hills and fight extradition! Having a lying, cheating bum like him for a client would cause me to take up croquet for a profession.

People who work for him keep ending up in federal or state custody. It's not a selling point for potential legal reps.

"He doesn't listen and he doesn't pay." That was about the time TFG was having trouble finding anyone to represent him.
