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".

Sorry, I don’t buy it. Trump can afford any team he wants. But he also seems to keep around those that chase the others away. I’m sure there are some credible attorneys out there, Trump supporters, that are ready and able to help. What he’s got to avoid are the charlatans and drunks.

Sounds like the quintessential weaponization of an executive branch, doesn’t it?

His current attorneys are useless. Standing around doing nothing while DOJ/FBI raided his home for NINE HOURS. What have they done since to get those docs locked down, to get the judge replaced, etc.? NOTHING OBVIOUS.

This is akin to hrc’s work to deny Nixon legal representation. In fact, it makes Hrc a prime mover in this present situation. What part is she playing now?

This was also the case when he and others tried to challenge the 2020 election.

High powered ‘respected” law firms will lose liberal wealthy clients was the big reason then for not taking the cases.

Trying times are demanding men with extreme courage, integrity and intellect. Are there any?

Evidence that the legal system, lawyers and judges, is failed, dishonest, and not at all about justice, truth, due process, etc.

Kangaroos, all the way down.

On Truth Social Trump said that this is not the case.

There are plenty of good conservative lawyers out there who can’t be intimidated. The problem is, well... Trump would not exactly be the easiest client, and that is going to turn off a lot of lawyers who might otherwise take the gig.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago sends the message to Trump and anyone who is watching that the Deep State is going to dig until they find or plant evidence that removes his eligibility to run for the WH or serve as president.

This is a coup in the process--drip, drip, drip.

The raid was the Deep State's way of letting Americans know that they are in charge.

Now, given that the rule of law has been destroyed and that future Presidential candidates must basically meet Deep State approval, what lawyer in his right mind is going to represent Trump?

Look at Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, and other sites and the one thing that Trump is not short on is lawyers. He can, no doubt, hire just as many as he wants to.
