Trump’s Lawyers Start to Wonder If One Could Be a Snitch
STITCHES
There’s plenty of bad blood among Trump’s team of lawyers. But there’s also a new concern that someone could turn on the rest of the team.

With three anticipated indictments, two ongoing court cases, and an ever-expanding cadre of lawyers, former President Donald Trump is at a critical juncture—and yet his legal advisers are starting to turn on each other.

According to five sources with direct knowledge of the situation, clashing personalities and the increasing outside threat of law enforcement has sown deep divisions that have only worsened in recent months. The internal bickering has already sparked one departure in recent weeks—and that could be just the beginning.

As Trump’s legal troubles keep growing—with criminal and civil investigations in New York City, Washington, and Atlanta—so too does the unwieldy band of attorneys who simply can’t get along.

The cast of characters includes an accused meddler who has Trump’s ear, a young attorney who lawyers on the team suggested is only there because the former president likes the way she looks, and a celebrity lawyer who’s increasingly viewed with disdain. Worst of all, now that federal investigators have turned the interrogation spotlight on some of Trump’s lawyers themselves, defense attorneys on the team seem to be questioning whether their colleagues may actually turn into snitches.

All bent on cashing their retainer first.

25. Ewwww... I can't unsee that vision.

2. Womp womp

[Raven123]

3. Oh heck, if he thinks it will help himself, TFG will turn on his legal team

[twodogsbarking]

4. Trump is the snitch. He blabs everything. As soon as he blamew someone for something

you know he did it.

[Johonny]

26. Yup

That moment when you realize that your client is the snitch!

[everyonematters]

5. Well, one of them leaked this.

[malaise]

6. Hehehehehe

Good.

[FSogol]

7. Man, I fervently hope they all turn out to be snitches!

Sweat, Trumpy, sweat!

[NBachers]

8. I love reading Shakespeare in the morning.

[Thunderbeast]

16. You win the thread

[ChazInAz]

21. I thought of Brecht:

There's a song in The Caucasian Chalk Circle that starts "When sharks the sharks devour/ Little fishes have their hour..."

[tanyev]

9. Donny goes to court with the lawyers he has, not the lawyers he wants.

[marble falls]

10. They'll be drawing knives and cutting each other's throats next. Or it could be a gambit by 45 ...

... to delay further.

[orangecrush]

14. +1

[wnylib]

17. Oh yeah. He will claim "inadequate counsel"

or absent counsel, and request that all hearings, court appearances, and trials be rescheduled for AFTER the 2024 election.

[marble falls]

35. It would be a desperation move, but he's out of wiggle room. He's going down. He'd better pay ...

... his lawyers.

[Captain Zero]

11. If you think about all the delays they file that

Have no merit, it shows what low life's and incompetents he hires. They really are incapable of mounting a defense, so they just file delays.

[wnylib]

18. Delays ARE the strategy.

It's intentional.

[Wonder Why]

12. They could have the traitor end up sleeping with the fishes but

then you don't get paid if you kill your client!

[wnylib]

19. File for payment against the estate.

29. Sharp.

Delicious!

15. Of course at least one of his lawyers are going to save their own skin

Trump's damaged goods now, and has a pretty established history of not repaying loyalty, not to mention not paying his lawyers. The type of lawyers that are willing to take him on as a client at this point aren't the types who are going to go down with the ship, especially as it becomes increasingly clear that he's used them in the furtherance of a crime.

[wnylib]

22. Colossal chaos, just like his administration.

It's how he controls people. I'd say that in court cases that tactic works against him, but I suspect that he wants to use the chaos and resulting losses of attorneys as an excuse to delay court appearances and trials until after the 2024 election. He expects to rig the election well enough, with help from red state MAGA politicians, to "win," put his own people in DOJ, and have all charges and investigations against him dismissed.

[relayerbob]

23. If even one of them has a brain and a sense of honor

They'll roll over and tell the actual true story. I doubt that one exists, but you never know.

31. Paranoia grips team Trump as lawyers suspect one of Trump's attorneys could be cooperating with the

In a blockbuster report by Daily Beast, it appears Trump’s team is starting to turn on each other.

Oh this is good:

According to five sources with direct knowledge of the situation, clashing personalities and the increasing outside threat of law enforcement has sown deep divisions that have only worsened in recent months. The internal bickering has already sparked one departure in recent weeks—and that could be just the beginning.

Now that federal investigators have turned the interrogation spotlight on some of Trump’s lawyers themselves, defense attorneys on the team seem to be questioning whether their colleagues may actually turn into snitches.

There are two already under suspicion:

The Department of Justice already has one Trump attorney’s professional notes.

The DOJ has another lawyer who said too much in an unrelated case and has positioned herself as yet another potential witness against Trump:

Prosecutors have already questioned Trump’s attorney Alina Habba, who put herself in an impossible situation when she declared in the New York AG’s case that she thoroughly searched every nook and cranny at Mar-a-Lago for documents relevant in that business fraud case—only to have the FBI later find classified documents in those desk drawers and cabinets months later.

That puts immense pressure on her to become a witness against Trump.

If Habba would turn on Trump, he’d be completely f*cked.

32. Let them all devour each other.

[rsdsharp]

33. Most of them have testified before grand juries.

Is that “snitching?”

34. Ego's ?
