Hotshot lawyer Alan Jackson likely quit Nick Reiner’s murder case because he doesn’t have the money to foot the bill for the pricey attorney, experts told The Post. The 32-year-old son of beloved movie director Rob Reiner was in court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where Jackson announced he and his firm would be withdrawing as Nick Reiner’s defense lawyer after just three weeks on the case. Jackson — who notably helped Karen Read clinch an acquittal on charges of murdering her cop boyfriend — said he couldn’t disclose why, but experts said it’s most likely a financial decision.

Rob Reiner did for Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) what Ray Kroc did for hamburgers, what Henry Ford did for the automobile, and what Genghis Khan may have done for sexually transmitted diseases; he brought it to the masses. Reiner's tweets weren't informative, clever, or funny; they were over-the-top insulting and, more importantly, accusatory, so much so that an acne-besotted incel from Butler, Penn., might want to take a shot at Trump. FACT-O-RAMA! Though other Hollywood celebrities have tried (looking at you, Robert DeNiro), no one has attacked Trump as frequently — or as loopily — as Reiner. Take a peek...
