Why Donald Trump Cannot Get a Top-Tier Lawyer
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 6/23 | Alan Dershowitz

Posted on 06/16/2023 1:47:12 AM PDT by spirited irish

Former President Donald Trump has now been arraigned and pleaded not guilty. He was represented by two lawyers, neither of whom he apparently wants to lead his defense at trial. He has been interviewing Florida lawyers, and several top ones have declined. I know, because I have spoken to them. There are disturbing suggestions that among the reasons lawyers are declining the case is because they fear legal and career reprisals.

There is a nefarious group that calls itself The 65 Project that has as its goal to intimidate lawyers into not representing Trump or anyone associated with him. They have threatened to file bar charges against any such lawyers

I just pulled up the Martindale ratings for the area where I practice. At least seven highly rated (AV) attorneys passed away or retired several years ago, but they are still listed as practicing law.

The are seventeen peer reviews for me. Eight of the reviews are from judges and government lawyers, who gave me the highest rating (5 out of 5). These reviews are obviously not from rivals because we don’t compete for clients. The remaining nine reviews are from private practice attorneys some of whom are likely cross-town rivals. Seven of the reviews range from 4.7 to 5, but two of the reviews are 3.0. Based upon the dates of these two reviews, I am near certain they are big firm, Ivy League educated attorneys, who I had recently prevailed over in two complicated commercial arbitrations, in which I was not supposed to win. Martindale is a joke.

Perhaps because they will all have to go through security clearance for this trial. But failing that, the obvious choice would have to be Robert Barnes. See “SEND THIS VIDEO TO TRUMP - Barnes Analysis of Federal Indictment - IT’S BULLPLOP! Viva & Trump Clip”

What it really is about is networking, these “Top Tier” lawyers chum around and went to schools with the other power players and are given deference to their desires and opinions, it has little to nothing to do with talent and intellect.

The same is true of most politicians, our so-called 'ruling class,' and others.

All the evils u speak have happened before trumo,during trump,and after trump.

Its the turning away from God that is the problem. Trump cant fix that.

Im afraid the only way to turn the country around at this time is thru a chastisement

Because they fear legal and career reprisals.

Can’t be that good at what they do it that’s what they fear.

We have a supreme court for a reason when law is in question.

The communists have controlled that yet.

It sounds like you have a positive rating. My friend, a tax attorney, was brilliant. You basically stated what he told me.

Stars get terrible medical care because they are used to giving orders to people they hire. When they accidentally get a good doctor they usually fire him quickly because he doesn’t always do what they command.

I imagine it’s not easy being Donald Trump’s lawyer.

The Deep State is blacklisting anyone who defends President Trump. This has been going on for a few years now as a part of their lawfare strategy.

If that is the case some members of this Project 65 should go missing. They need to understand the nature of fire.

Cannot hire top-tier lawyers? Not necessarily a bad thing...

High priced DC lawyers didn't help Gen. Flynn. He ran up at least $4M in legal bills.
