Why Donald Trump can't get a top-tier lawyer
Hot Air ^ | 15 June 2023 | Alan Dershowitz

Posted on 06/15/2023 5:45:38 PM PDT by Rummyfan

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. When these threats first emerged, I wrote an op-ed offering to defend pro bono any lawyers that The 65 Project goes after. So The 65 Project immediately went after me, and contrived a charge based on a case in which I was a constitutional consultant, but designed to send a message to potential Trump lawyers: if you defend Trump or anyone associated with him, we will target you and find something to charge you with. The lawyers to whom I spoke are fully aware of this threat — and they are taking it seriously.

There may be other reasons as well for why lawyers are reluctant to defend Trump. He is not the easiest client, and he has turned against some of his previous lawyers, as some of his previous lawyers have turned against him. This will be a difficult case to defend and an unpopular one with many in the legal profession and in general population.

Yes, the terrorists in Gitmo are prompt payers.
That’s why the best and brightest couldn’t dfend them fast enough.

Besides the above we have The Trump Accountability Project doing the same thing.

We have 90% of industry/institution colluding/conspiring against but it Trump’s fault!

If the dems had their way he would be stuck with the stuttering Public Defender in the movie My Cousin Vinny.

Just remember that almost all Judges used to be regular lieyahs.

Anti Trump partisans on Free Republic don’t care about facts.
They blame every negative issue about Trump on Trump.

Everything is Trump’s fault, if only he’d listen to us & had played it differently...... is their mantra.

“They’re idiots....brainwashed idiots.”

“He is not the easiest client, and he has turned against some of his previous lawyers.”

That says it all! When you have someone who won’t take advice and can’t shut up. What can you do?

Sounds like an organized conspiracy to deny Trump a basic civil right. That's illegal - not that anyone in the establishment will do anything but applaud it.

Or as Merrick Garland says:

“That’s a nice little law business you got going there; It would be a shame if something happened to it.”

This is beyond outrageous. Any lawyer associated with the “65 Project” should be immediately and permanently disbarred.
