ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN, ha ha, and dumbass repeatedly called Mr. Schneiderman a
“ lightweight” - yeah well, we’ll see about THAT, Mr. RICO

All this to say, oh HELL yeah, get your orange ass to court pronto and do please call the judge a “loser” - or a “lightweight” ...either would do just fine!!!

What? You mean he can't hire Jared because he's not a lawyer? He has no experience???? Well it didn't stop him from appointing him to every other essential position at the White House? So when it's his ass on the line, not the full faith and reputation of the United States of America, he wants someone whose qualified and competent??? Since when???

A New York Courts search shows that Jared Kushner is not licensed to practice in that state.

Based on an Avvo search, I am reasonably confident that jared Kushner is not a member of the bar of any other state.

This is understandable, given how he came to take over his father’s business. According to a New York Magazine article (The Legacy), Jared was on break from law school, interning for the District Attorney, when his father was arrested, then sent to prison. Jared ended up running the family business rather than practicing law.

Mon Mar 26, 2018, 08:13 PM
Mar 2018

1. He would refuse to put up a substantial cash retainer to get my services.
2. He would lie to me and lie under oath.
3. Representing him would offer me a choice between being sued by him for malpractice or getting disbarrred.
4. I wouldn't get a slew of new clients with the word out that I was his attorney.
5. Trump wouldn't follow my advice and then would blame me for something rogue he'd do.
6. Representing Trump would be like knitting all day and having him remove the needles and unravel everything I've done.

You can add anything else that stands out to you.

one of his former lawyers has said that they always met with him with two lawyers in the room, because he would change his story and try to say things that were not stated, or try to break promises that were made. They needed two to be able corroborate and to keep his lying ass in line.

Lawyers will take any client. Either Trump is asking them if they’ll commit a crime or he’s telling them they’ll work for free and make it up after when they’re famous for being his lawyer. My bet is illegal acts.
