Former president Donald Trump and close aides have spent the eight days since the FBI searched his Florida home rushing to assemble a team of respected defense lawyers. But the answer they keep hearing is “no.”

“Everyone is saying no,” said a prominent Republican lawyer, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential conversations.

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.

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

They've been so successful scaring off competent attorneys who'd defend the January Sixers that they're using that tactic on the very person they protested for.

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.

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.

“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!”

Yeah, but Satan isn’t the author of men’s destinies. He’s just a pawn on the chessboard who thinks he’s a king.

Trump has a reputation for shorting his contractors. If I’m a hotshot attorney, my engagement letter specifies a large, nonrefundable retainer.

Great link! Therein:

... My decision to declassify materials within the binder is subject to the limits identified above and does not extend to materials that must be protected from disclosure pursuant to orders of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and does not require the disclosure of certain personally identifiable information or any other materials that must be protected from disclosure under applicable law. Accordingly, at my direction, the Attorney General has conducted an appropriate review to ensure that materials provided in the binder may be disclosed by the White House in accordance with applicable law....

So, have Barr or Rosen been asked about this, I wonder.

Dershowitz has ties to Epstein and I bet a lot more high power lawyers do to. Epstein must have been a deep state op to blackmail people.

“Years of not paying lawyers”

That’s the only reason I can imagine for a lawyer not wanting to work for Trump.

If someone can give other reasons I’d appreciate it.
