You're viewing a single thread.
It's the hand these lawyers have been dealt to try to make this argument fly. They are duty bound to provide the best representation they can for their client, and if somehow this completely bonkers argument wins the day, I think that's pretty much it for American democracy.
Or Biden has all this on standby just in case...
my favorite business teacher once told me almost no one has to do anything. we just need to accept the consequences of those actions... breathe/dont breathe.. steal/dont steal.
no one is holding a gun to these lawyers heads, are they? these arent 'public defenders' answering the call of their duty. these are private, douchebag lawyers who have chosen to be douchebags.... correct me if im wrong.
Yeah, they can drop the client if they wanted to. And they probably should, they arent gonna get paid either way.
My pet theory is that they know they won't be paid. It's an ad for these lawyers, who will be contacted later by ultra conservative clients or even mobs. They want a mob lawyer who does, for example, delay tactics, the defining scheme of the Trump franchise.
Interesting theory. A few of his past lawyers have been disbarred though, so probably not working out well for them :/.
And maybe its just me, but i think i would want the lawyer for my crime syndicate to be a little lower profile. Hiring these guys is just waving a red flag to law enforcement?
Same kind of thing was said by my Life Skills teacher in high school.
"The only thing you HAVE to do in life is die."
It's a precedent for presidents.
