...But for 17 other Trump co–defendants in the Georgia criminal conspiracy case against the former president, it remains to be seen whether Trump will step in with any financial help. For now, most have been left to figure out how to pay for their own criminal defense regarding their alleged scheme to help keep him in office, according to a number of people familiar with the case. All of the defendants face the same charge of racketeering under Georgia law, in addition to other charges involving alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

This is all about driving them into bankruptcy so why do you care?
George Soros.
He’s loaded.
Trump can’t help them pay their legal bills. You don’t have to be a lawyer to see that doing so would be seen as evidence to support the conspiracy and racketeering charges against all of the defendants.
Perhaps, but as someone else said, "the process is the punishment" and bankrupting Trump loyalists with insurmountable legal bills, regardless of the ultimate legal outcome, is a standard revenge strategy of the Left.
If there were any justice in the world SeeBS would be forced to pay them.
They might have to go with public defenders. The one on “Cousin Vinny” comes to mind.
Or they might get lucky and get Saul Goodman or his girlfriend, Kim Wexler.
The process is the punishment.
The wrong ones are being charged for racketeering under Georgia law.
“about $312 an hour..”
Unfortunately, $312 an hour does not get you the best attorney.
RETURN THE FAVOR
start indicting any and all democrats that have left public office

Peculiar they’re not prosecuting Kelly Loeffler, David Perdue, Michael Flynn, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and attorney Lin Wood...as the Grand Jury recommended in the 39 people for criminal prosecution.

>They might have to go with public defenders.<
Harrison Floyd, the black defendant who was denied bail and jailed until the judge returned from vacation, requested a public defender and the judge denied it.
Apparently the judge feels Floyd must go broke and not be able to support his wife and daughter.
EC
Yes.
Gen.Flynn lost everything he owned for being an associate of Donald Trump when the Left went after him.
And Paul Manafort “agreed to forfeit real-estate holdings and cash worth somewhere between $42 and $46 million.”
New York Magazine article included:
Flynn has already put his Alexandria, Virginia, townhouse on the market for nearly $900,000 — a little less than a fifth of his reported legal fees. But if the former National Security adviser — who served in the White House for a record-short 25 days — has taken a financial hit....
In addition to legal fees of a reported $1 million and a three-year prison sentence, Michael Cohen’s guilty plea involved a forfeiture of $500,000, fines totaling $100,000, and restitution of $1.4 million. (In March, Cohen sued the Trump Organization to cover legal fees he incurred after agreeing to cooperate.) And Paul Manafort — who worked for the Trump campaign for free, reportedly in order to gain standing to revive his lobbying career — agreed to forfeit real-estate holdings and cash worth somewhere between $42 and $46 million. Manafort’s money alone was enough to put the Mueller investigation in the black.
According to Jeffress, the most experienced and in-demand white-collar lawyers in Washington typically charge corporate clients and people indemnified by corporations over $1,000 per hour—though it’s not uncommon for them to cut their rates to somewhere between $750 and $900 per hour for clients who are paying for their representation out of their own pockets—which is even true for non-public officials. But Jeffress noted that even if an individual faces only an interview by the F.B.I. and there aren’t gigabytes of information to review, a lawyer would still likely devote 40 to 60 hours on their case. Which at the low end would cost a White House staffer $30,000 and at the high end, $54,000. And if there is a grand jury subpoena, or if the person faces possible criminal exposure, he said the total cost of their legal fees could easily be five times that much.

They’re doing everything they can to intimidate.
Fanny has all the financial resources of the Georgia taxpayers at her disposal and no concern for what it will cost to destroy these people--regardless of guilt or innocence.
Too bad we can’t file a class action lawsuit against the schools that produced these marxist attorneys for their defective products.
The left doesn’t understand this.
They are condemning Trump for not doing so
If there’s justice in this world, they’ll be able to recover it from Obama, Hillary, the Joe Biden mafia family, Merrick Garland and Fani Willis.
Defending those targeted by a totalitarian regime is dangerous. Those asked to do so might want some hazard pay on top of their regular rates.
