It should seem weird that no lawyers ever stick with Trump for more than a few months - or maybe a year, but certainly not once the inevitable new problems inevitably blow up in their faces. Trump is everybody's worst nightmare, but that has to go triple or fourple for his lawyers.
And yet, he keeps getting them to sign on.
A few have hung in there, but they're just window dressing, or more aptly, set dressing - the guy has a freakish penchant to follow the basic WWE / Reality TV formula. ie: "I'm the good guy, beset on all sides by evil-doers who wanna take my championship belt from me. And you, my noble fans, my loyal friends, you identify with me so closely that every attack on me is an attack on you, and blah blah blah - Je suis l'état, l'état c'est moi.
I get the feeling that most of these people sign on with him for no better reason than to bolster their resumé.
But the one I'm really curious about continues to be Boris Epshteyn. That guy is always there, and always fucking with everything. So maybe some day, we could start to acknowledge that the guy is most probably on Putin's payroll, and he's here there and everywhere trying to throw sand in the gears(?) Just a thought.
Former president Donald Trump said Friday he would be bringing on new lawyers and suggested that two of his top attorneys may be departing the case, as he prepares to fight seven charges for allegedly mishandling classified documents at his Florida home.
The two attorneys quickly issued a statement saying they have quit.
“For purposes of fighting the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time, now moving to the Florida Courts, I will be represented by Todd Blanche, Esq., and a firm to be named later,” Trump said on social media, indicating that two of his other key lawyers may be leaving the legal team.
“I want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work, but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and “sick” group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before. We will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days,” Trump wrote.
In a joint statement, Rowley and Trusty said they have “tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation.” They said that since the Trump indictment has been filed in Miami, “this is a logical moment for us to step aside and let others carry the cases through to completion.”
The pair called it “an honor to have spent the last year defending him, and we know he will be vindicated in his battle against the Biden Administration’s partisan weaponization of the American justice system.”
