“Who wants to get into the arena these days, knowing that anyone who opposes the Deep State will be harassed, along with their families. Why bother?

So he’s stuck with what he can get.”

Exactly. And exactly as intended by the DS Marxist left.

As the appeals court concluded, “Defendant unduly delayed in raising presidential immunity as a defense. Three years passed between Defendant’s answer and his request for leave to amend his answer. A three-year delay is more than enough, under our precedents, to qualify as ‘undue.'”

What I don't understand (not being a lawyer) is this idea of "undue." If you're innocent, you're innocent no matter how long it took to prove it.

If he had immunity, then he had it whether or not he brought it up then or now.

If it's an intrinsic power of the office, then it shouldn't matter that he didn't bring it up despite everyone else knowing that he had it but kept quiet because he didn't mention it first.

There shouldn't be a statute of limitations on his rights or the powers of his office.

I remember various firms declining to represent him after pressure from the left. Do those top lawyers want to see their businesses destroyed? Look at John Eastman. It’s OUTRAGOUS!

I WILL NEVER BELIEVE THAT TRUMP WENT ANYWHERE NEAR THAT WOMAN-—MUCH LESS IN A LARGE, MAJOR DEPT STORE IN WOMEN’S FITTING ROOMS.

NEVER HAPPENED

He admitted to getting away with going into women’s dressing rooms, so this isn’t much of a stretch.

This group has made a concerted organized effort to cancel any lawyer who dares represent Trump.

Why does he always hire the worst lawyers?

________________________________________________

Because the best lawyers know to stay away from him. He’ll end their careers.

STFU - No it is YOU who never disappoints, with no arguments, just nonsense.

Trump has been notorious during his administration and afterward with no picking good people. That’s juts a fact. I still voted for him in 2016 and 2020.

It's hard to hire people when you are an outsider and trying to drain the Swamp (BTW, the Swamp in DC has state and local influence too).

Lawyers are particularly vulnerable to the political influence of those in the Swamp.

If you work for Trump, a lot of potential clients are going to avoid you for the foreseeable future.

Brandon’s lawyers only have a year to get his impeachment in there. Hunter’s, too.

What does that mean? Did you mean evidence? Motions?

Maybe he would get better lawyers if he stopped shafting them on payment.

He should also focus more on legal acumen and less on appearance.Alina Habba is a joke - no relevant experience except in front of cameras.

Tell me who your perfect candidate is.

Do they think Solzhenitsyn got what he deserved because he should have hired better lawyers?
