29. Not that I would know, but how many quality lawyers are still right-leaning?

Most beagles that I've known are pretty pragmatic - they will take your case if it seems like a reasonable one and one that they might win. Doesn't hurt if they're pretty sure to get paid after all the sturm-und-drang has passed.

Still, like Cohen, there are some that suck the bottom of the tank and have established "blood" ties with other mafioso. I don't know how many of these are on anybody's "A-List" to represent in a federal case.

Still, given dump's and kushner's backgrounds, why not just farm this out to some russian hitmen? (Oh wait.)
