Forced testimony from defense lawyers and you can eliminate all defense lawyers.

Proof-of-concept.

I clicked on this thread to post the same link. I see that two people have beat me to it.

Everyone should read Sundance’s take on the resignation of those attorneys.

From The Conservative Treehouse link that you provided:
As soon as [Jim] Trusty and [John] Rowley saw their forced testimony was used in the indictment, they had no option except to exit the case. Despite the lawyers providing no damaging information against Trump, the DOJ used language in the indictment to turn Trump’s lawyers into material witnesses. Weissmann’s Lawfare tactic create a conflict, forcing the two Trump lawyers to depart.

Trump doesn’t seek out bad attorneys he is very limited to available GREAT attorneys BECAUSE really GREAT attorneys are terrified of the FBI, DOJ, CIA coming after them, we are NOW living in a country I don’t even recognize!! It is heartbreaking AND the POS republicans don’t give a shit that this nation is being DESTROYED!! I believe whole heartedly that the BASTARDS that have been in office for DECADES have intel files that the FBI, CIA are blackmailing them with!! Why else would these BASTARDS stay in office until they are carried out in a coffin!! They are ALL petrified that if they leave all their corrupt, pedofile secrets will come to light before they are DEAD!!!

No, DU would just say he is guilty. Can you actually argue with me? His lawyers have been awful. His original fixer tried to have him thrown in jail. His lawyer in the E. Jean Carroll civil case didn’t even put on a minimal defense. Do you actually have a rebuttal to any of this? Your argument is that conservatives should live in denial. No, Democrats are the ones who are supposed to be in denial.

No, 5his goes back to when he was registered as a Republican. Michael Cohen was with Trump since 2006, and was his fixer. Cohen later tried to have Trump thrown in jail, and was convicted for his own crimes. There are better lawyers out there that would take a high profile case.

Good grief.

ALL politicians have “corrupt, pedofile secrets”?

Hyperbole much?

If you were watching, you aren’t very observant. Do DU people post about pro-life, anti-LGBT agenda, anti-woke? You just attack anyone who isn’t a neocon RINO.

How does that have nothing to do with it? For example, Trump’s legal team in the E. Jean Carroll Civil suit might as well have been working for the prosecution.
