Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"I have the worst lawyers..."
this
I still haven't figured out how he has anyone willing to represent him. It appears that he doesn't pay any of his bills. Like ever.
Trump's PAC is paying his legal fees, not Trump himself. So far the Save America PAC seems to have spent at least 10 million on legal fees for the former president.
I can't imagine any lawyer wouldn't need an up front deposit before dealing with him. Then again, have you seen some of his lawyers?
the way they're talking him up, I have to wonder if they're MAGA cultists doing it pro... er, con bono
You got me interested. I know what you mean, but I needed to look it up.
Seems like contra bono would be the correct form.
It's a bit buried because they seem to be talking about for a fee rather than against the good of the people.
Not only that, but he lies to his lawyers and refuses to listen to him. Combine those and most lawyers wouldn't touch him with a twenty foot pole.
He's left with bottom of the barrel barely-lawyers who are looking to make a name for themselves and True Believer lawyers who are willing to crime all the crimes alongside Trump because MAGA. Neither of these provide good legal representation.
LegalEagle just did a video ranking Trump’s lawyers. Devin put over half of them in F tier.
