    I suspect it’s more about realizing that he won’t get paid than anything else. Plenty of lawyers willing to defend the guilty when they’re paid to do it

      As they should.

      Justice can only be served when the defendant has had the opportunity to have a good defense.

        Trump is definitely guilty, and I agree that he deserves a defense, but unfortunately for him, it kind of goes out the window when he doesn’t respect the laws and courts that give him that right.

        He has the right to a defense, not a good one, and that’s exactly what he’s getting because of his behavior.

          How about, he has a right to the best defense his ego will allow him to have?

      I suspect quite a few would represent a former president for free just to have that on their resume, it’s being disbarred or named in future lawsuits that’s the deal-breaker.
