The left is making it impossible for Trump to find a lawyer
American Thinker ^ | August 18, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

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.”

Of course he can get a lawyer. The question is what kind/caliber of lawyer.

I figure I have been on somebody’s list for a long time. 😁 If I post in here, it’s usually about dogs, gardens, old lady stuff, etc. but rarely politics.

Sorry you’re in denial because you’re in a CULT that is heading for a major wake up call (indictment) … But the fact of the matter is north of 20 or so articles just now on Google showing that he does NOT pay attorneys or all manner of contractors on a regular basis for years as his business practice ...this is who the man is, wake up, offer an article with evidence to the contrary rather than just call names, that’s the easy route:

I like you, and you’ll see that I never insult you or others here, if I can help it, but there may be one or two cases in the last few months I return the insult, but rare… But at the very least if you could get my CV right, you’ve left out the important stuff, Bildeberger charter member, Skull and Bones treasurer class of 1977 Princeton, Jewish space lasers operator , Intern to Henry Kissinger Group, personal interpreter of George Soros in Asia, Council on Foreign Relations Tokyo office, Protocols of Elders of Zion Study Group Chapter 276, OSS, Trilateral Commission deputy general manager, Department of Interior, and so on. Deeeeeeeep State! ;-)

Trump did negotiate fees, but declined to pay exorbitant ones that he deemed, well, exorbitant.

Which is why the lawyers don't want to work for him.

Lawyers have a reputation for over charging.

So does Trump. it's called 'business'. Trump will charge the max amount he can for his property and pay the least amount he can for the work that goes into it.

He cannot be tried without a lawyer so the higher courts can force an appointment whether the law firms like it or not or the high court will simply say...no representation then Trump free of all charges.

Trump will have to be represented by someone. He can just sit back and let the courts turn in on themselves.. I*t’s not that Trump has money or no money, if no lawyers will represent him, then he cannot be tried of any charges. Ultimately the supremes will have to rule that Trump has to have representation from somebody or he cannot be charged!

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.

Mr. President, the court has appointed Mr. Calhoun Van Buren III from Howard University...

Don't you mean Algonquin J. Calhoun?

That’s not how you stay in business for 50 years and accumulate wealth. He provided jobs for thousands of people over the years and still does.

It's worked for him.

He provided jobs for thousands of people over the years and still does.

Including dozens if not hundreds of lawyers. I don't understand why people are saying that the left is making it impossible for Trump to hire one.
