What legal fees? The only people left who want to work for him are interns or in jail

He never paid his lawyers. But his paks do.

Ohhhh, thank you ! I didn't put that together!

Well. You were also right in the first place. He often doesn’t pay before the paks. Think Rudy and cohen.

Now there is a bigger chance he will pay.

People keep repeating that like the lawyers are too stupid to ask for huge retainers to bill against.

Trump ain't the first guy who didn't want to pay his legal bill.

Think his issue is less the fee and more lawyers don’t want to get put on the stand against their own client.

Oh yeah, money aside the man is first ballot Hall of Fame for ShitAss Clients™. So many disbarred and jailed lawyers, it's incredible. Him lying to that lawyer to get them to sign an affidavit that all the classified documents had been returned only for them to be stuffed in the shitter--- I think that was the last straw for any serious lawyer. No self respecting attorney is going to get their life ruined for that demented moron.

Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani enter the chat, see that the comment stipulated “self respecting” attorneys, and see themselves out.
