28. It's because he's indefensible.

One thing I did hear was the attorney say something right out of Comedy Writing 101.

Right after he slowly spun around and commented what a diverse group it was in attendance, he listed 2 things everyone had in common.

The two things he listed were prefaced with 1) and B). This is a comedy device used to illustrate what a disorganized brain might utter. It is very "Gilliganesque", and came out of the mouth of a man who has a very important duty (althoughwe already know the outcome) Only a moron like Trump, who knows the best people, would hire a fool like this guy.
