The GOP is running out of lawyers and it’s hilarious.

They don’t understand that made lawyers are a) extremely difficult and expensive to recruit and maintain and b) a thing that not every lawyer is. When the mob gets a lawyer that will go to prison for them that’s one of their most valuable resources, much like a good fixer. Magas seem to think that those are both just aspects of being a lawyer and that legitimate lawyers will be cool with it.

The mob knows to pay their lawyers. Another reason why trump is a dollar store version of a mobster

Yeah they understand that it takes a carrot and a stick. You pay them out the ass and kill snitches

I'm convinced the only reason trump has the suit going in Britain is that his staffer couldn't find any American lawyers and trump was pissed. So someone realized there was more idiot lawyers over seas.

It's a civil suit so he could end having to represent himself and that would be even more tragically funny.
