      I still haven't figured out how he has anyone willing to represent him. It appears that he doesn't pay any of his bills. Like ever.

        Trump's PAC is paying his legal fees, not Trump himself. So far the Save America PAC seems to have spent at least 10 million on legal fees for the former president.

        I can't imagine any lawyer wouldn't need an up front deposit before dealing with him. Then again, have you seen some of his lawyers?

        the way they're talking him up, I have to wonder if they're MAGA cultists doing it pro… er, con bono

          You got me interested. I know what you mean, but I needed to look it up.

          Seems like contra bono would be the correct form.

          It's a bit buried because they seem to be talking about for a fee rather than against the good of the people.

        Not only that, but he lies to his lawyers and refuses to listen to him. Combine those and most lawyers wouldn't touch him with a twenty foot pole.

        He's left with bottom of the barrel barely-lawyers who are looking to make a name for themselves and True Believer lawyers who are willing to crime all the crimes alongside Trump because MAGA. Neither of these provide good legal representation.

      LegalEagle just did a video ranking Trump’s lawyers. Devin put over half of them in F tier.
