You’d expect a POTUS under investigation to enjoy his pick of America’s best lawyers, but not this POTUS. Lawyers are shunning him because, well, he’s a crappy client, even before he stiffs them on the bill.
“President Donald Trump is having a tough time finding new lawyers to represent him in the ongoing Russia investigation, and it may be because … ‘they see that Trump is unprepared to listen to the advice of his lawyers,’ said Alex Whiting, a former federal prosecutor who is now a professor at Harvard Law School. He added that Trump has ‘shown that he can turn on his staff and lawyers at any moment. It is hard to have confidence that you could represent Trump effectively under those circumstances.’”
In other words, being Trump’s lawyer is too much like being one of Hitler’s generals.
