Attention all lawyers: If Trump calls wanting to hire you, hang the fucking phone up.

How many lawyers are going to go to prison for Trump? Cohen is in prison, soon he may have a roommate named Rudy. There are Whitehouse lawyers hiding Trump's phone calls, crimes in secret servers.

Then you have AG Barr. A man who commits obstruction of justice right out in the open for Trump. A man who gave a speech that sounded like a scene from the movie 1984. Where are the whistle blowers from the justice department?

I am not a lawyer and yet I have figured out when Trump hires you to be his lawyer, he will demand you commit crimes for him. If you don't he will get rid of you. If you do commit crimes for him and get caught, he will deny he knows you.

It is amazing but true, Trump's entire existence, his entire livelihood, has been completely dependent on finding dirty lawyers who will risk they own freedom in order to help and protect Trump. It boggles the mind that Trump has never had a problem finding such lawyers.

I understand there are many more good lawyers than bad, but dam, if you have money you can find a dirty lawyer as easily as finding a mechanic for your car.

He wouldn't take your advice, he'd make your life miserable, he wouldn't pay your bill, and you'd eventually wind up disbarred and/or in jail. I don't get why anybody would work for him in any capacity.

ultimately lose in every way. I don't know why every lawyer out there has not figured this out yet. You will get screwed. You will go down for him.

Nothing but trouble.
Demands more time than the controversy is worth.
Won't pay you, even a retainer.
Will sue you for malpractice if you don't get them the results they demand, not what is likely.

A lot of corrupt deals and old favors and debts called in just to keep this boy afloat. No way in hell tRump has the money to fund all these court cases.

This is all being done solely by the ultra-wealthy via backroom deals to keep the GOP in power and continue their destruction of our government.

And, it's worth every penny to them......
