It’s a clickbaity title in a sense that Trusty already quit from his team in the documents case. It’s not another lawyer quitting, but the same lawyer, it’s just that this time he’s quitting altogether from all other cases and any cooperation too.
What will he do without his Trusty lawyer 🥲
Maybe he’ll hire Mr. Phakapi.
This comment needs to be upvoted to the top.
That person has a long history of not paying bills and bragging about it.
It wouldn’t be surprising his dispute with lawyers is also about money. It may be wise to ask to be payed upfront.
THIS is what’s going to bite him in the ass.
This is a huge case. It’s going to take hundreds, if not thousands of billable hours. Any attorney that’s competent that takes this case has to know that they’re probably not going to see even a fraction of that money, meaning that they’ll be without income for a long period of time. A competent attorney that’s not ideologically motivated and independently wealthy is unlikely to be able to take the case. (An _in_competent attorney that doesn’t realize this fact might take the case, and then not be allowed to withdraw from the case by the judge.)
Second, Trump has a history of running his mouth in public. The attorneys that are going to be defending him need to have national security clearances in order to be effective counsel. If Trump talks about the cases in public, he could cost his attorneys their security clearances, which would not only impede their ability to defend him, but could also prevent them from being able to defend similar clients in the future. If I was an attorney, that would be a really big fucking deal. Not only would I be unlikely to be get paid, but there would be a real risk that Trump could harm my ability to earn income in the future.
If I was a competent attorney with a track record of defending this kind of case, this case would be radioactive.
And then you’ve got to add in that Trump likes to pressure his attorneys to do illegal things which could result in THEM being tried for crimes.
Trump is perhaps the worst client a lawyer could possibly represent.
Excuse my ignorance, but why would Trump running his mouth in public put his attorneys’ clearance at risk?
Lawyers can potentially get sanctioned for client conduct. I can see a potential problem if attorney are given access to classified information for defense prep, then Trump accesses the information, and then disseminates that information. It’s a bit of a stretch, but given how bad Trump’s behaviour has been, that’s not a stretch I would ignore if I was an attorney.
I’m a union electrician in a red area, and it’s so incredibly annoying to see trucks in the meeting parking lot decked out in Trump stickers.
Like, he literally scams contractors! Famously and as a matter of legal record! He specifically fucks YOU! If went out to lunch with him he would stick you with the bill and steal your wallet!
I hope he represents himself. Like, let’s cap this parody chapter of human history with popcorn.
I second this. After all, isn’t he the smartest person who knows the most about everything (according to himself)?
Very stable genius. People come up and tell him all the time: “no one better represents Trump in court than Trump!”
Proving the phrase “The person who represents themself in court has a fool for a client”.
He’s gonna end up having to get a public defender lol
He’ll never qualify. It would be hilarious if he ended up representing himself, though. I mean he’s had plenty of competent counsel, he just chooses not to listen to them. Quick, someone sell him on the wonders of Sovereign Citizenship!

What an embarrassing day for this twice impeached, insurrectionist traitor and convicted rapist with two active indictments and more on the horizon.
What an idiot
Will Trump end up as the first president in jail? There’s already been a presidential candidate in jail IINM
MAGA
Make attorneys get attorneys
Get norm pattis to do it he’s had so many wins for right wing guys lately, it’s not like he was part of the biggest defamation payout ever.
