Since the DOJ has seized privileged attorney-client information in the Mar-A-Lago raid, has not provided a reason for doing so, and has gone after Trump's legal team (Rudy Giuliani, Eric Herschmann, Pat Cippolini, Igor Fruman, John Eastman) it seems as though nobody wants to represent him anymore.

This could happen to any conservative politician in the future. If a conservative or Republican is being targeted, the DOJ could go after legal counsel threatening arrest or prosecution. Effectively stripping away sixth amendment rights--"to have the assistance of counsel for his defense".

They want him to depend on a court appointed Public Defender.

This was also the case with the marriage defenders in the fight for the Defense of Marriage Act. The barbarians threatened and infiltrated every major legal firm to the point where a defense for the law could hardly be assembled.

That was the game plan. I saw it coming from a mile away. The lawyers Association are going to put a noose around trumps throat and leave him without any legal assistance! I’m beginning to think that 2024 isn’t going to happen for Trump. They’re just gonna keep coming after him hitting him over and over again until his base is exhausted and Trump is penniless and throws in the towel! They’ve got a game plan that is so demonic and so evil with Satan backing it up they’re gonna execute this war until they have broken the man! And then after they bring down Trump guess who’s next? DeSantis is on the rear view mirror!

Years of not paying lawyers (absolutely TRUE, historical fact, can NOT be disputed) will...well, you figure it out if you were an attorney...

The FBI has targeted and then used pretexts to raid several lawyers related to Trump. Attorney client privilege is dead.
The FBI must be disbanded.

It's not the Left that is making it impossible for Trump to get a lawyer...it's the Deep State.

What we know of as "the Left" is merely a tentacle, a branch, of the Deep State.

Haven't we all wondered why so many people that Trump hired to help him as president turned against him when they "retired" from the WH. Many of these men and women were good, loyal Americans...some were real heroes.

Let's just put it this way, the Deep State makes them a deal they can't refuse.

Same thing is going to happen with 2nd amendment cases.

Serial killers have no problem getting lawyers.

Lawyers high sounding words about their craft are meaningless.

They (FBI & Co.) are trying to seize info that implicates DOJ/FBI to suppress.
Reinhart was on the civil case too.
Someone here ask where’s the Republican Mark Elias. Here’s your answer. The Deep State will destroy you and all you hold dear.

That Project 65 deal linked in the article is one scary outfit. Lawyers with a mission ...

Remember, Liz Cheney is a lawyer, too, who missed class the day they taught about a right to defend oneself.

This is scary. If it can happen to Trump, it can happen to anyone.

The current administration is not beyond auditing every law firm that helps Trump.
