No one has offered to help him pay for his expensive lawyer. Maybe he should get a gofundme.com page like the rest of us have to do.

Oh no--wait

More than 150 law firms across the country sent a letter to White House budget director Mick Mulvaney on Thursday, urging him not to propose the elimination of federal funding for the Legal Services Corporation.

LSC provides grants to nonprofits nationwide that in turn provide civil legal aid to those who otherwise can't afford it. The beneficiaries of LSC funding include homeless veterans, low-income workers and victims of domestic abuse.

The law firms made the case that defunding LSC would greatly impair legal services provided by nonprofit groups as well as private pro bono lawyers.

you thought about health care and expanding it, or wished to increase taxes on the wealthy and corporations, or if you understood the plight of the innocent spent in our prison system,

But since you don't care about those things, I guess. I don't care about your dilemma. But I will cite the old adage of sleep with dogs and wake up with fleas. Or need for lawyers to reduce your prison sentence.
