Looked at objectively, he is bragging about getting difficult things done.

He may be a jerk, but he is a lawyer.

Lawyers are hired guns in the law.

He is bragging about being a good hired gun.

Lawyers mostly work for people with questionable ethics.

Then I’ll objectively put lawyers right next to abortion doctors and nurses.

Lawyers — most are enemies within. Lawyers tuned judge, lawyers turned politician, lawyers turned lobbyist...THEY have turned America to the dark side. THEY twist the laws THEY wrote (written to be purposely open to interpretation). THEY defend the indefensible and set them free. THEY make things cost more (from all the lawsuit$ and insurance against lawsuit$). They sell their souls for the almighty dollar.

There’s two kinds of lawyers- those that fight for justice for all, defend the innocent and earnestly fight for fairness and due process for the guilty... and then there are the more common variety who don’t give a damn about justice, the victims, the innocent, or the guilty, and fight only for their own advancement...but are important for those who are guilty and unrepentant. Both kinds have their uses and are needed in the system...but only the rare kind, the first, serve the public interest as well as their client’s.

Regardless, he’s also bragging about undermining national security, and his parents should be ashamed.

You don’t think that his Disney obsession is a bit odd?

He may be a jerk, but he is a lawyer No, he's a jerk, sleaze-ball lawyer.

The job of the defense attorney is to defend the rights of the accused and to force the government to prove its case "beyond reasonable doubt."

An attorney who admits his client is guilty and then brags about it has trespassed that ethical margin between defense of rights and advocacy for criminality. More than a few mob attorneys have done time for this transgression.
