1. Tuck this one away

For the defendant's inevitable squawking about incompetent counsel leading to his conviction and imprisonment. "Hey, you said you didn't need any help" from the biggest lawyers or law firms. Appeal dismissed, stay in jail.

2. "My backup plan is Sheremetyevo Airport!"

3. He's the "Stable Genius!" (at the bottom of the curve) n/t

4. And they called him "Sir" with a tear in their eye.

6. Says the guy who can't keep a lousy lawyer. Wasn't going to pay them anyway.

8. It's such an honor to represent him. That's payment enough. Snort.

5. This guy is available:

7. Did they require their fee upfront first?

9. the best lawyers or law firms

know any association with Trump is a career ending law firm imploding death sentence...as one prominent attorney said he wouldn't mind representing Trump but his wife would divorce him and his children would disown him...

10. for the right price, most large law firms will stoop pretty low

but statisticians at the big law firms calculated the chamces of payment to be 0.000000000001%. Law partners said, "you're on your own, dude! Maybe Jimmy McGill is available."

12. Granted, Trump is notorious for not paying his lawyers

but big time lawyers shun him because representing a client that can't keep his mouth shut, refuses to take advice, has obvious contempt for the law, relegates his counsel to that of stenographer/conspirator, and who may very well be subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury knows any whiff of Trump is career ending

13. all very good points as to further reasons they would steer clear

[no_hypocrisy]

11. That's like saying "I have too much money."

Who in their right mind (I know, I know, it's TFG) would refuse the "best attorneys" in a crisis like this?

I guess he didn't want to pay $10 million as a retainer. I don't see why. He could have embezzled that amount from his fundraisers.
