Considering he doesn't seem to be a very competent attorney, he needs all the help he can get.

(40,915 posts)He won! He gets bragging rights.
And the appropriate respect from his peers for the way he won; jury nullification.

(1,971 posts)You ususally get shunned and disbarred for that sort of thing. He didn't win anything.

(112,599 posts)I hope it means he is facing some very negative repercussions for his actions. (no, I am not implying vandalism or violence, but a loss of business reputation and referrals)
underpants
(194,532 posts)The fact that he said Democrat twice tells me he knows exactly who his audience is. Playing victim is just more proof.
mucifer
(25,490 posts)the guy who tried to kill congress people in Bernie Sander's name.
The big difference is Bernie came out very forcefully when he found out and made an excellent speech going after his violent fans and did the opposite of inciting.

(32,017 posts)Not many attorneys can say they represented the President of the United States, and this guy WON.
Hes going to have to add more attorneys to his firm to handle the huge increase in new cases.
I thought he was pretty pitiful, but few people actually know what a good attorney looks/sounds like.

However, we have to remember that tRump could have hired pretty much any sleazebag off the street and gotten the same preordained result from the trial, given the need to have 17 repukes grow a semblance of a spine and vote to convict.
His firm is also bring dragged over the coals on their Facebook page - they can't delete the negative comments fast enough!

(1,971 posts)CoVid keeping in person appearances to a minimum is the best thing that these guys have going for them right now. They'll have to show their faces in the courthouses around here soon. KYW in Philadelphia will need to up the price for their commercials....instead of have you fallen on an icy sidewalk? they will need to run ads saying we're not really the incompetent fools and assholes you saw on T.V.
