    I know, that she is getting paid and all. But damn… Thats just degrading. No amount of money would bring me to tell such a embarrassing lie. Alone the word “most” puts every other of her social interactions into scale. She basically said: “Me, my mom, my husband?, my kids?, my best friend, they are all ethically worse than Trump.” This person seems to have no values.

      she is getting paid

      Oh, was this lawyer actually smart enough to get payment up front? Because we know Trump normally doesn’t pay his lawyers after the fact. If she got paid, she has no values.

        Most lawyers, yes, are heartless capitalist fee-gouging sociopaths. But some of us do a lot to help the helpless, to our own detriment. We give everything for the underdog fighting these snakes.

        So, while I don’t take the generalisation personally—because it’s largely true—please never forget the minority of broke empathetic legal practitioners toiling away behind the scenes seeking actual justice for clients.
