The latest smear on Trump: He can’t find a respectable lawyer to defend him
American Thinker ^ | August 24, 2022 | Richard McDonough

The latest smear of Donald Trump being fabricated by many on the Left is that he cannot find any respectable lawyer to represent him. Salon.com trumpets that:

All the respectable lawyers are] saying ‘No’ [so that] Trump is driven to hire a Florida insurance lawyer … The most visible Trump attorney has been Christina Bobb. … [whose] federal legal experience is largely limited to a handful of trademark infringement cases on behalf of CrossFit. … Trump's Florida-based lawyer is Lindsey Halligan, an insurance lawyer that handles residential and commercial claims but has never handled a federal case. … Trump's attorney in the document’s investigation is Alina Habba, who … previously worked as general counsel at a parking garage company.

Salon even gleefully quotes disbarred felon Michael Cohen, presumably because of his impeccable moral reputation: "In olden days, [Trump] would tell firms representing him was a benefit because they could advertise off it. Today it's not the same" because "He's a very difficult client” who “wants you to do things that are not appropriate, ethically or legally." Recall that many on the Left were thrilled when Cohen turned on Trump because “he knew where all the bodies were buried.” Unfortunately, Cohen failed to dig up any bodies.

That’s because “respectable lawyers” don’t want themselves and their families to include their kids to be destroyed by scumbag RAT politicians, their little Nazi followers and their maggots in the “mainstream media”. This isn’t a ****ing coincidence. The Nazi and communist RATs and their “media” did this.

It is surely a bit more difficult when all his lawyers find themselves being investigated by the Feds and New York and hauled before grand juries and Congressional committees for the obvious crime of representing DJT.

I’ll bet there are a thousand lawyers itching for the chance to defend Trump in a constitutionally significant case like this.

One thing’s for sure. Trump needs to get rid of those bimbo lawyersI see on tv. They are embarrassing him.

Yep. This would make a name for someone.

In my opinion, it's going to take a young, brilliant lawyer without any "baggage," by which I innocently mean family and related obligations. I don't mean to seems to disparage family, but they will be made a target for such a lawyer who dares to defend Trump. There is a rare breed which thrives on persecution and adversity from the Enemy, and this lawyer will have to be this type. Instead of cowering before the threats of Dems, he will be energized by it. I've known a few of these types, and they are rare jewels. It's actually how every Christian should be.

I remember the guy that was the New York state finance director for the Trump 2016 run. They tore him up in NY state investigations and leftist run federal witch hunts and when it was finally over he was asked what his advice was to others in similar pursuits and he said it was the worst hell he had experienced and he would never recommend anyone taking such a position in the future.

Lol.......you are correct! I was once told that I could not find a lawyer to sue other lawyers and particularly high profile lawyers like the ones I was after. It took several months but I found one and he kicked their ass as we settled for mid range six figures. Their initial offer was $5,000.

Trump will spend tens of millions of dollars on attorneys in years to come and that will attract lawyers like flies to honey. This article is baloney.

That’s no surprise.

“Respectable Lawyers” are about as rare as Unicorns.

Trump obtained a respectable lawyer one not from D.C. that won’t flip to the highest bidder.
