    My pet theory is that they know they won’t be paid. It’s an ad for these lawyers, who will be contacted later by ultra conservative clients or even mobs. They want a mob lawyer who does, for example, delay tactics, the defining scheme of the Trump franchise.

      Interesting theory. A few of his past lawyers have been disbarred though, so probably not working out well for them :/.

      And maybe its just me, but i think i would want the lawyer for my crime syndicate to be a little lower profile. Hiring these guys is just waving a red flag to law enforcement?
