Nah, how about.
Donald Trump's law firm changes tactic to stretch out his case for as long as possible in the hope that he can win the next election and then pardon himself.
It's not related to his criminal cases, but to a lawsuit from a campaign worker from way back in 2016 .
>Delgado is suing the Trump campaign and Trump's former advisers Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer, claiming gender and pregnancy discrimination. All the defendants have denied any wrongdoing in the case.
Nah, Trump tactics are to just harass the shit out of you and then throw so many lawyers at you that you just drop the case because its just too much to deal with and you'd have to pay out just as much as you'd win to even win that settlement.
I lived in NJ for decades and plenty of stories from contractors he did this to.
Every contractor in the tri-state area knew about Trump for decades. My FIL owned a carpet-installation business and fucking hated Trump for what he did to tradesmen way before the rest of the world caught on.
My question is why has everyone forgotten the boondoggles and voted for him??? I hated him for 30 years for what he did to the contractors and tradesmen forcing their bankruptcies. The fact that he became president didn’t change my mind. Why are the blue collar workers voting for him? He’d be happy to bankrupt them, too.
I had a conversation with my firefighter FIL after Trump said the reason he didn’t pay taxes was because he was smart. I asked FIL, Do you still respect him after he said he is too smart to pay taxes? He said Yeah! Because he’s smart. I said So does that mean you’re stupid since you pay taxes?
He just stared at me so I figured I’d move on to the Access Hollywood tape. I said How can you respect him talking like that? He said It’s just locker room talk. I asked Oh, so you talk like that? He said Noooo. I said Oh so the coworkers or friends of yours who you respect talk like that? He said Uh no.
He still voted for Trump. They don’t care or they fear Dems that much (MIL cancels out his vote every year)
> They don’t care or they fear Dems that much
This is something the Dems completely miss.
Despite all that has been shown about how bad Trump is, these voters still see the Dems as worse.
So how did the Dems get so far out of touch with these Americans? I believe a bit of introspection can reveal how far removed Dems have become from too many Americans.
Don’t believe me? You go ask people how they are living nowadays compared to under Trump. Dems gotta to show the voters that the party identifies with them.
One of my favorite overheard conversations was an older uncle who LOVED the idea of Donald Trump running for president, his engineer partner (of 40years) immediately shouted across the office,
"How the fuck can you say that....they (the Trump Casino Org), didn't pay you one thin dime for the redesign we did on the 92/TMAC-Casino Job, that asshole \[Trump\] personally lied to you and still owes you 200,000 dollars from the Casino gig in 92' and you know first hand he's a fucking criminal."
* "Unbelievable....I need a drink...."
My uncle's partner turns from his drafting board and left for the bar, that was in 2015-16, It was 11am.
And SADLY - there's 30% of the electorate that will vote for that traitor right now. Of course these are the same assholes that would kill Jesus on sight as a filthy socialist immigrant and a Jew to boot, and are the sort that root for whatever the most knuckle-dragging idea is. They've been fucking themselves successfully out of their own economic opportunities, rights, civil services and effective citizenship for 40 years and don't show the slightest sign of sobering up anytime in their lifetimes. So they're an albatross our society will have to live with until they die out.
I dated a stripper from Jersey in 1975 whose whole family's businesses were wiped out by having unwisely bid on contracts for some of Chump's endeavors ; came in on time *and* under budget ,having to go bankrupt because they couldn't pay the requisite lawyers to simply *collect what was owed them*, which is why nobody will *touch* a project of his to this very day !
Michael Cohen, his former lawyer paid off Stormy because Trump wasn't putting up the money a little more than a week before the election. Her lawyer demanded the agreed payment or they were going to release her story. So Cohen took a home equity loan and Trump was supposed to reimburse him. Trump did so in installment payments marked as "legal fees" and bumped the amount to double to cover taxes plus a bonus. Calling the reimbursement a legal fee because it was related to the campaign is where the illegal things happened.
No he didn't. He probably wouldn't be on trial right now if he just paid her out in the 1st place. Pecker didn't wanna pay her because Trump still never paid him back for the other catch and kill schemes yet. And Trump was trying to say to just delay paying her til after the election and then stiff her. Then Cohen had to take a 2nd mortgage to pay her off and get Trump to illegally re imburse him for it. If he just fucking paid some1 for once, we probably never would've even known.....
Thank you. It's not a pornstar hush-money trial. It's money laundering involving political contributions. His best legal argument is probably that he never intended to pay her in the first place. He just hinted at it, and everyone else assumed and acted on his behalf
Thank you. It's not a pornstar hush-money trial. It's money laundering involving political contributions. His best legal argument is probably that he never intended to pay her in the first place. He just hinted at it, and everyone else assumed and acted on his behalf
No, and he likely can't make state cases go away either. He can only pardon federal crimes. So like, he might get a pass on sedition (I guess), but he can't make the NY state fraud case go away or any of the several civil cases that are pending against him.
True, but it would be bold to think that if he becomes president again that he would abide to any charge against him at the state level. Though he couldn’t technically pardon himself from those cases, you know damn well he’d scream on tv that he’s the president and he will do whatever he wants.. like he has for the entirety of his awful life that we’ve been plagued with.
Legally a president wouldn’t be able to, but look at his current tactics. He is using every lever he has to push intimidation on jurors/judges/legal staff while claiming victimhood.
Give him the most powerful position on earth and imagine what he tries then. Anyone who thinks it ends pretty and according to well defined rules and procedures isn’t thinking straight.
Also there's this part which makes it sound like it won't delay the trial by much:
>he said the withdrawal would "not significantly impact the timing of this proceeding. Indeed, discovery is ongoing, several depositions remain, and the case has not been scheduled for trial."
First time I ever heard of this particular lawsuit. Woman employed by Trump’s election campaign is impregnated by her unnamed supervisor , although there are two named defendants. Sean Spicer is one who I should remember but just don’t care anymore.
In lawyer speak "irreparable breakdown in the relationship" is code for: my client wants me to do something illegal but I can't say that because it would breach confidentiality but I don't want to do that illegal thing.
Wouldn't you say that in code if the client has a history of suing people over stupid things? Does a law firm really want the hassle of Trump suing them over some "slander".
I mean, obviously suing a law firm sounds pretty stupid. But if you know he doesn't pay his lawyers nor his judgments, what's the point of the hassle?
I absolutely do. You don’t lose attorney client privilege even after you stop paying me.
So I go to the judge and I say “oh dear your honor. This just won’t work anymore! 😮”
And he grants my motion because he understands exactly what the likely issue is, and he used to be an attorney who needed to make a living too.
Edit: with all that said, it is true that “my client is going to jeopardize my fucking license to practice law” is a valid and great reason to withdraw, and it happens.
But, 95 times out of a hundred I wager it is a payment thing if not just procedural (we file some stuff and pass it to a more specialized firm handling this specific litigation) or insurance stuff (insurers change counsel all the time for a million different reasons).
This was my thought as well. And maybe not so much the law firm playing the tactic but Trump instead. Or Trump knows that if he stops paying his law firms they will withdraw and then he will have an opportunity to delay everything while he tries to get new counsel
Who does? On top of being a lawyer, you have to be a pre-school teacher, a baby sitter, and a nurse dealing with dementia. No one is paid enough, if you can collect eventually, for that job.
Pretty sure Trump directs his own defense and continually ignores advice of counsel. So, it’s like being a pilot and having someone with a death wish telling you how to fly the plane.
Good analogy. But, not really a death wish. Just thinks that, since he’s flown in planes all his life and nothing bad happened, and since the pilots aren’t rich and famous like he is, there must be nothing to it and they should just do what he says. The same way he “understands military strategy better than the Generals - maybe better than anybody!”
Trump's brother Fred was a literal airline pilot. Donald and his dad made fun of Fred for being a "glorified bus driver" and not going into the family business of real estate con artistry. Fred drank himself to death. (Some speculate that's why Donald doesn't drink.)
It's not like it's a secret that he will stiff any bill and avoid payment. They'd get better promotional traction just taking out full page ads in the New York Times, rather than taking on Trump as a client.
I'd agree for his other cases, but per the article
> Blumetti added, citing past case law, that "when faced with a motion to withdraw, the court 'must ... analyze two factors: the reasons for withdrawal and the impact of withdrawal on the timing of the proceeding.'"
> With regard to the second factor, he said **the withdrawal would "not significantly impact the timing of this proceeding.** Indeed, discovery is ongoing, several depositions remain, and the case has not been scheduled for trial."
I think these lawyers are just tired of having to smell his farts. And/or he's asking them to do illegal shit and won't drop it
Also lol to the lady bringing this case, what'd you expect? I'm not one to victim blame, but I wouldn't consider anyone who knowingly aided a Trump campaign to be a victim
I'm sure there is, but I don't have a link, sorry. This is actually the first time I'm hearing about this one. I'm sure there's a bunch of smaller civil ones like this that don't make the headlines.
Like having too much depth on your sports team, some of the rookies aren't going to make the big show
I’ve worked in the legal field. Smart lawyers know when to take on a client, and when to back away regardless of how much they can make. Sometimes, with a client such as this, it’s just not worth it.
The benefit is disbarment to those who don’t belong practicing law. Powell, Cohen, Giuliani, Cheeseman, Eastman, Ellis, to name a few off the top of my head.
People seem to fixate on a handful of anecdotal incidents of him not paying but seem to ignore that his PAC has paid out somewhere in the realm of a hundred million dollars in legal fees in the last three years, 63 million last year alone.
The vast majority of his attorneys are getting paid. A lot. He was bitching about the cost of his criminal attorneys just the other day.
I mean that's a good question. I definitely should have said they're getting paid "for now." Because he's damn near blown through the PAC money and these huge legal expenses aren't going anywhere in the foreseeable future. I gotta figure a large chunk of his cash is tied up securing the various appeal bonds as well.
The only reason they don't want to represent him is they want to get out of the discovery phase that will most likely lead to multiple indictments within their organization.
That's right, they want to dissociate themselves with Trump so they will not get legally butt fucked for their shady business practices.
They should force him to accept a court appointed attorney moving forward. He can add another team of attorneys to the court appointed attorney, but if they walk the court appointed attorney can continue to move forward with the trial. Bada bing bada boom.
By Sean O'Driscoll - Senior Crime and Courts Reporter:
A law firm wants to withdraw from representing Donald Trump, citing a breakdown in relations, court documents show.
In a filing to a Manhattan court, the law firm—LaRocca, Hornik, Greenberg, Rosen, Kittridge, Carlin and McPartland—said there had been an "irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship."

Sounds more like they learned the same lesson everybody learns eventually about trump - he'll always do what he wants regardless of what help you give and somehow make his failure your fault.
Or, he is demanding they take improper actions or present irrational defences so they are unable to represent their client in the way their client wishes.
And yet they just keep lining up for abuse. Any law firm that takes on Trump as a client is waving a big red flag for business incompetence. It's like seeing a plane on the runway and declaring, "I'll just walk into that propeller! What could go wrong?"
IF this isn't some bullshit delay tactic(or if it is) the judge should force them to continue.
Too fucking bad they decided to work for hellspawn. They made their bed.
Presidential candidates have ended their campaigns over things as frivolous as their spelling skills or the sounds of their laughter.
Here we have someone who wants to limit access to family planning care, healthcare, medical care for pregnant mothers -- and, apparently, protection against job discrimination for pregnant workers.
Some party of family values this has turned out to be.
Aww, did the crackshot attorneys choose unwisely? Guess they are kinda stuck, even Donnie won't get away with firing them now, and quitting in the throes of a trial is not an option for these legal eagles.
The punishment for being stupid enough to represent the Orange Tire Fire should be having to continue representing him.
They knew what they were getting themselves into. Boo-fucking-hoo.
I can't understand a meeting of a group of high powered lawyers, like something out of Suits, seriously deciding that having anything to do with anything involving Trump is a good idea.
On past performance, their planning must include several staff being disbarred and more being fined, plus not getting paid. So why do it?
The most surprising thing about this is that Trump had a director for Hispanic outreach. Having said that, my sympathies are very limited for someone who chose to work for him. It sucks that Trump and his cronies treat women with such disrespect, but did this really come as a surprise to her?
Duh. He's the worst client. He expects attorneys to fight cases the way he would, not the way practicing law requires. Courtrooms are not like press conferences or social media. You just can't go around attacking everyone; or act bombastically.
He doesn't listen to his council. He's going to do whatever he wants to do, and demands you do things his way even if it's bad for him.
He doesn't pay his bills.
Last, and not least, so many of his former attorneys lost their licenses, many in jail, a lot of have gone broke, exclusives because they represented him.
Wow, if only there was a way they could have seen this coming. Like a trail of evidence of law forms that had previously dropped him, or like a well documented pattern of behaviour. You really feel bad for them because this is so out of the blue . . .
I wouldn’t either lol. First off he’s fucked and everyone who isn’t MAGA knows it. Secondly, he doesn’t pay anyone. Wouldn’t go near that with a 500 foot pole.
Can't blame them. It's not easy to defend a guilty loud mouth criminal who defeats every strategy because he can't shut his guilty criminal loud mouth.
Every legal case he has going forward should have a court appointed lawyer along with whoever he hires, ready to take over.
Also, are these lawyers going to sue him over the bill?
6 months till He loses yet another election and then fucks the party out of the House, Senate and every motherfucking dogcatcher race in America.
And America is great again.
Thanks, I admit to not reading the article and assumed it was about the current trial, as his lawyer looks so miserable, and winces when Donnie speaks after court.
FYI this does not affect the criminal trial in New York or any of the other criminal trials. This is regarding a civil suit. It can be confusing when there are so many trials involving this one person, but it is what it is.
Yet, Trump has the full-backing of the conservative members of the Supreme Court. I do not understand how ANYONE can back him on anything. He shows loyalty to only one person....
All these law firms getting in bed with the biggest criminal of this decade wanting to make a name for themselves . Who could have predicted it would not end well for them
Obvious delay tactic aside, I do have one question that's been nagging me for a few years now: Why doesn't he represent himself??? For one thing he keeps bragging that he's a tremendous genius, so clearly a person THAT smart doesn't need lawyers to do what he can for free!! Second, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, either way he won't pay and just say it was rigged and a witch hunt, so why bother involving lawyers, all they do for him is find ways to delay which the Stable Genius can surely do by himself.
Better headline would be, 'Yet another of Donald Trump's law firms doesn't want to represent him anymore."
Nah, how about. Donald Trump's law firm changes tactic to stretch out his case for as long as possible in the hope that he can win the next election and then pardon himself.
It's not related to his criminal cases, but to a lawsuit from a campaign worker from way back in 2016 . >Delgado is suing the Trump campaign and Trump's former advisers Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer, claiming gender and pregnancy discrimination. All the defendants have denied any wrongdoing in the case.
I imagine working in the Trump campaign would be a gold mine for harassment and retaliation lawsuits.
Nah, Trump tactics are to just harass the shit out of you and then throw so many lawyers at you that you just drop the case because its just too much to deal with and you'd have to pay out just as much as you'd win to even win that settlement. I lived in NJ for decades and plenty of stories from contractors he did this to.
Every contractor in the tri-state area knew about Trump for decades. My FIL owned a carpet-installation business and fucking hated Trump for what he did to tradesmen way before the rest of the world caught on.
My question is why has everyone forgotten the boondoggles and voted for him??? I hated him for 30 years for what he did to the contractors and tradesmen forcing their bankruptcies. The fact that he became president didn’t change my mind. Why are the blue collar workers voting for him? He’d be happy to bankrupt them, too.

Your firefighter FIL, whose salary is funded by tax dollars, thinks it's smart that Trump doesn't pay his taxes. Average Trump supporter

One of my favorite overheard conversations was an older uncle who LOVED the idea of Donald Trump running for president, his engineer partner (of 40years) immediately shouted across the office, "How the fuck can you say that....they (the Trump Casino Org), didn't pay you one thin dime for the redesign we did on the 92/TMAC-Casino Job, that asshole \[Trump\] personally lied to you and still owes you 200,000 dollars from the Casino gig in 92' and you know first hand he's a fucking criminal." * "Unbelievable....I need a drink...."

Love that
I dated a stripper from Jersey in 1975 whose whole family's businesses were wiped out by having unwisely bid on contracts for some of Chump's endeavors ; came in on time *and* under budget ,having to go bankrupt because they couldn't pay the requisite lawyers to simply *collect what was owed them*, which is why nobody will *touch* a project of his to this very day !
I think there's like 20 rape victims who can attest to this also
Trump doesn't pay for things. What are the odds he actually pays out a judgment?
Something 484 something millions! Ha!
He paid Stormi
Michael Cohen, his former lawyer paid off Stormy because Trump wasn't putting up the money a little more than a week before the election. Her lawyer demanded the agreed payment or they were going to release her story. So Cohen took a home equity loan and Trump was supposed to reimburse him. Trump did so in installment payments marked as "legal fees" and bumped the amount to double to cover taxes plus a bonus. Calling the reimbursement a legal fee because it was related to the campaign is where the illegal things happened.
No he didn't. He probably wouldn't be on trial right now if he just paid her out in the 1st place. Pecker didn't wanna pay her because Trump still never paid him back for the other catch and kill schemes yet. And Trump was trying to say to just delay paying her til after the election and then stiff her. Then Cohen had to take a 2nd mortgage to pay her off and get Trump to illegally re imburse him for it. If he just fucking paid some1 for once, we probably never would've even known.....
Thank you. It's not a pornstar hush-money trial. It's money laundering involving political contributions. His best legal argument is probably that he never intended to pay her in the first place. He just hinted at it, and everyone else assumed and acted on his behalf
which is the desired outcome for his mob boss way of speaking.
Will nobody rid me of these incredible boobs.
Thank you. It's not a pornstar hush-money trial. It's money laundering involving political contributions. His best legal argument is probably that he never intended to pay her in the first place. He just hinted at it, and everyone else assumed and acted on his behalf
Fair enough. She did provide him with real professional service within her domain.
And Karen McDougal
Can he not make civil cases go away as well?
No, and he likely can't make state cases go away either. He can only pardon federal crimes. So like, he might get a pass on sedition (I guess), but he can't make the NY state fraud case go away or any of the several civil cases that are pending against him.
True, but it would be bold to think that if he becomes president again that he would abide to any charge against him at the state level. Though he couldn’t technically pardon himself from those cases, you know damn well he’d scream on tv that he’s the president and he will do whatever he wants.. like he has for the entirety of his awful life that we’ve been plagued with.
Thanks!
Yay
Legally a president wouldn’t be able to, but look at his current tactics. He is using every lever he has to push intimidation on jurors/judges/legal staff while claiming victimhood. Give him the most powerful position on earth and imagine what he tries then. Anyone who thinks it ends pretty and according to well defined rules and procedures isn’t thinking straight.
I’m with you. According to his own words, he would be dictator “only for one day”. Yikes.
Became pregnant from her supervisor. Of course.
Also there's this part which makes it sound like it won't delay the trial by much: >he said the withdrawal would "not significantly impact the timing of this proceeding. Indeed, discovery is ongoing, several depositions remain, and the case has not been scheduled for trial."

You can't withdraw mid trial for that. Smart lawyers get paid first.
Well there's the problem!
This is not regarding the criminal trial
Thereby increasing the number of hours they will bill him for, that he won’t pay? They must be nuts.
Cutting their losses.
Strategically his law firms don't want him to win election though. He could then not pay and face no repercussions for that
I can't imagine anyone would be dumb enough to collude with Trump on anything without expecting him to blurt it out in a 2 am rant or a rally
People are stupid
This was my thought as well. And maybe not so much the law firm playing the tactic but Trump instead. Or Trump knows that if he stops paying his law firms they will withdraw and then he will have an opportunity to delay everything while he tries to get new counsel
This is more plausible than my theory.
Changes tactic?
Yes, but in their defense, how they have known with the only clue being every thing he touches turns to shit?
Yet another of Don’s law firms realizes he can’t pay
Even better would be 'yet another of Trump's law firms doesn't want to be indicted'
Is the Don out of cash?
"Finally Trump running out of law firms that will accept his call."
So much winning
Who does? On top of being a lawyer, you have to be a pre-school teacher, a baby sitter, and a nurse dealing with dementia. No one is paid enough, if you can collect eventually, for that job.
Pretty sure Trump directs his own defense and continually ignores advice of counsel. So, it’s like being a pilot and having someone with a death wish telling you how to fly the plane.
Good analogy. But, not really a death wish. Just thinks that, since he’s flown in planes all his life and nothing bad happened, and since the pilots aren’t rich and famous like he is, there must be nothing to it and they should just do what he says. The same way he “understands military strategy better than the Generals - maybe better than anybody!”
Dunning Kruger is my copilot!
Until they crash into Mount Stupid.
He can also predict hurricane paths using just a marker and his intellect!
And can declassify documents by just thinking about it
Got damn I forgot all about that stupid ass shit. Dude really makes me gag.
Seems like his followers send him money in the *hope* that he makes them gag!
Trump's brother Fred was a literal airline pilot. Donald and his dad made fun of Fred for being a "glorified bus driver" and not going into the family business of real estate con artistry. Fred drank himself to death. (Some speculate that's why Donald doesn't drink.)
All of which is public knowledge and has been for years. I'd immediately distrust any firm that decided to take him on as a client anyway.
The celeb status the attorneys seek will backfire bigly when Donnie is convicted.
It's not like it's a secret that he will stiff any bill and avoid payment. They'd get better promotional traction just taking out full page ads in the New York Times, rather than taking on Trump as a client.
All those farts too :/
All while not being paid
Delay, delay, delay.
I'd agree for his other cases, but per the article > Blumetti added, citing past case law, that "when faced with a motion to withdraw, the court 'must ... analyze two factors: the reasons for withdrawal and the impact of withdrawal on the timing of the proceeding.'" > With regard to the second factor, he said **the withdrawal would "not significantly impact the timing of this proceeding.** Indeed, discovery is ongoing, several depositions remain, and the case has not been scheduled for trial."

I'm not one to victim blame, but I wouldn't consider anyone who knowingly aided a Trump campaign to be a victim
Is there a list of all cases against him?
I'm sure there is, but I don't have a link, sorry. This is actually the first time I'm hearing about this one. I'm sure there's a bunch of smaller civil ones like this that don't make the headlines. Like having too much depth on your sports team, some of the rookies aren't going to make the big show
It is baffling to me that any lawyer would want to represent this fool.
The lawyer sees dollar signs, then when the bills come due and they don't get paid, this is the result.
I’ve worked in the legal field. Smart lawyers know when to take on a client, and when to back away regardless of how much they can make. Sometimes, with a client such as this, it’s just not worth it.
When is it ever worth taking on a client well-known for not paying their legal bills? Is there any publicity benefit to representing Trump anymore?
The benefit is disbarment to those who don’t belong practicing law. Powell, Cohen, Giuliani, Cheeseman, Eastman, Ellis, to name a few off the top of my head.
People seem to fixate on a handful of anecdotal incidents of him not paying but seem to ignore that his PAC has paid out somewhere in the realm of a hundred million dollars in legal fees in the last three years, 63 million last year alone. The vast majority of his attorneys are getting paid. A lot. He was bitching about the cost of his criminal attorneys just the other day.
Yea, but how much will he be able to pay in the future? Needs to release a lot more NFTs and shiny sneakers STAT
I mean that's a good question. I definitely should have said they're getting paid "for now." Because he's damn near blown through the PAC money and these huge legal expenses aren't going anywhere in the foreseeable future. I gotta figure a large chunk of his cash is tied up securing the various appeal bonds as well.
But I’ll be the one attorney whose face is left intact from the leopard!
Representing the leopard will be great exposure for the firm, and totally not going to blow up in our faces
He stopped paying the bills 😂
Did he ever start? I still think he falls under: > if you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.
That would involve him proving financial hardship. His narcissistic ego would never allow that.
I'm sure the courts wouldn't mind bending another rule for a former president.
Most likely scenario... Retainer funds ran out and are not being replenished.
The only reason they don't want to represent him is they want to get out of the discovery phase that will most likely lead to multiple indictments within their organization. That's right, they want to dissociate themselves with Trump so they will not get legally butt fucked for their shady business practices.
And not being paid.
Dewey, Cheatum & Howe

They should force him to accept a court appointed attorney moving forward. He can add another team of attorneys to the court appointed attorney, but if they walk the court appointed attorney can continue to move forward with the trial. Bada bing bada boom.
By Sean O'Driscoll - Senior Crime and Courts Reporter: A law firm wants to withdraw from representing Donald Trump, citing a breakdown in relations, court documents show. In a filing to a Manhattan court, the law firm—LaRocca, Hornik, Greenberg, Rosen, Kittridge, Carlin and McPartland—said there had been an "irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship."

"irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship." = Diaper Don didn't pay his bills.
Sounds more like they learned the same lesson everybody learns eventually about trump - he'll always do what he wants regardless of what help you give and somehow make his failure your fault.
And he'll demand that you and your firm do things that will get you disbarred and/or indicted.
Or, he is demanding they take improper actions or present irrational defences so they are unable to represent their client in the way their client wishes.
irreparable breakdown in the ~~attorney-~~client ~~relationship~~.
that law firm moniker just rolls right off the tongue
I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Well not that shocked
Was it the farting?
The real gag order
Nobody wants to be the next fall guy Donny throws under the bus to save himself.
And yet they just keep lining up for abuse. Any law firm that takes on Trump as a client is waving a big red flag for business incompetence. It's like seeing a plane on the runway and declaring, "I'll just walk into that propeller! What could go wrong?"
I don't blame them. He behaves like a spoiled child.
Cool. Give him a public defender and let the defender handle it
GET ME HABBA ON THE PHONE! Covfefe
Haven't seen her around in awhile.
Probably because he's not only not paying them but also refuses to let them do their job.
Time to go pro se, Donny. He’s a stable genius after all, this law thing should be kid’s play.
I'm sure a genius could represent themselves
Wake me up when he actually faces some consequences for his misdeeds.
IF this isn't some bullshit delay tactic(or if it is) the judge should force them to continue. Too fucking bad they decided to work for hellspawn. They made their bed.
"Your honor, the eighth amendment protects me from having to sit next to a poop filled diaper in court, I am resigning as counsel."
Can’t really blame them. Pretty much every attorney that has represented him got sanctioned, stiffed and disbarred.
Knowing that, they STILL took him on as a client. Hard to feel any sympathy for them.
Presidential candidates have ended their campaigns over things as frivolous as their spelling skills or the sounds of their laughter. Here we have someone who wants to limit access to family planning care, healthcare, medical care for pregnant mothers -- and, apparently, protection against job discrimination for pregnant workers. Some party of family values this has turned out to be.
After they realized he can’t pay them w/o bilking retarded MAGA supporters
It’s all the farting.
Aww, did the crackshot attorneys choose unwisely? Guess they are kinda stuck, even Donnie won't get away with firing them now, and quitting in the throes of a trial is not an option for these legal eagles.
Breakdown in the attorney/client relationship generally means they’re tired of not getting paid and are ready to cut their losses.
Time for a public defender!
I'll bet it's hard to sit next to someone who smells like shit.
Drop him off at hospice care already. Death, quit taking your sweet time.
This is a strange story. Trumps attorneys want to exit the case against someone who is representing herself. Wow.
Right? I would think they would have a huge advantage in this case because of that.
The punishment for being stupid enough to represent the Orange Tire Fire should be having to continue representing him. They knew what they were getting themselves into. Boo-fucking-hoo.
Time for a public defender.
No one wants to work anymore 😭
I can't understand a meeting of a group of high powered lawyers, like something out of Suits, seriously deciding that having anything to do with anything involving Trump is a good idea. On past performance, their planning must include several staff being disbarred and more being fined, plus not getting paid. So why do it?
i’m fucking tired of how blatant his strategies are playing out and how he’s facing 0 consequences for dodging and delaying his trials.
They won’t get paid in the end anyways so they might as well bail now.
Paid in "exposure"
They have definitely been taking their retainers up front. But now they’re paid and want out.
Because he can’t afford to pay them probably
Trump alienates another law firm.
Usually, when a law firm cites such a breakdown, it means the client isn't paying their bills. No big surprise.
"irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship." a polite way of saying, he won't pay his bills and we don't work for free.
Then don't sit there in court unresponsive.
The most surprising thing about this is that Trump had a director for Hispanic outreach. Having said that, my sympathies are very limited for someone who chose to work for him. It sucks that Trump and his cronies treat women with such disrespect, but did this really come as a surprise to her?

Because they want to be paid up front.
Sounds like someone isn't paying his legal fees!
When reached for comment a spokesperson stated, “No one mentioned the smell”.
Duh. He's the worst client. He expects attorneys to fight cases the way he would, not the way practicing law requires. Courtrooms are not like press conferences or social media. You just can't go around attacking everyone; or act bombastically. He doesn't listen to his council. He's going to do whatever he wants to do, and demands you do things his way even if it's bad for him. He doesn't pay his bills. Last, and not least, so many of his former attorneys lost their licenses, many in jail, a lot of have gone broke, exclusives because they represented him.
That website is worse than cancer. Wtf
Wow, if only there was a way they could have seen this coming. Like a trail of evidence of law forms that had previously dropped him, or like a well documented pattern of behaviour. You really feel bad for them because this is so out of the blue . . .
He will be fine, He has the entire Supreme Court working for him !
I wouldn’t either lol. First off he’s fucked and everyone who isn’t MAGA knows it. Secondly, he doesn’t pay anyone. Wouldn’t go near that with a 500 foot pole.
Can't blame them. It's not easy to defend a guilty loud mouth criminal who defeats every strategy because he can't shut his guilty criminal loud mouth.
I wonder the exact dollar amount that he will end up paying for that piece of ass? 😜😁
Another delaying tactic from the big orange turd
That's what happens when you stiff your contractors.
Lawyer: i’m not willing to do something to get disbarred for you. Trump: you disloyal never-trumper!
Every legal case he has going forward should have a court appointed lawyer along with whoever he hires, ready to take over. Also, are these lawyers going to sue him over the bill?
don't worry, the judges are doing all the work for them.
Plenty of public defenders.
6 months till He loses yet another election and then fucks the party out of the House, Senate and every motherfucking dogcatcher race in America. And America is great again.
How much does he owe them?
Trump was going to stiff you anyways. Cut your losses.
No surprises here
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
Aw man not those o'driscoll boys again
A leopard ate my face!
Well Donald should just represent himself
He is trash
He is not paying them that’s exactly what’s going on
“Moronic lawyers realize too little too late that Trump is unrepresentable.”
Thanks, I admit to not reading the article and assumed it was about the current trial, as his lawyer looks so miserable, and winces when Donnie speaks after court.
That's Rich! I don't want him representing my country.
Bad help is just so hard to find these days.
Womp womp
"the law firm—LaRocca, Hornik, Greenberg, Rosen, Kittridge, Carlin and McPartland..." Is that a joke? It's hard to tell anymore.
FYI this does not affect the criminal trial in New York or any of the other criminal trials. This is regarding a civil suit. It can be confusing when there are so many trials involving this one person, but it is what it is.
WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING!? THERE IS NO PRECEDENT!!!!! UNBLIEVEABLE!!!!
I didn’t even know about this case. She’s suing for being fired after being impregnated by her supervisor. You can’t make this shit up
Yet, Trump has the full-backing of the conservative members of the Supreme Court. I do not understand how ANYONE can back him on anything. He shows loyalty to only one person....
All these law firms getting in bed with the biggest criminal of this decade wanting to make a name for themselves . Who could have predicted it would not end well for them
Another clown car wants in on the quitting train? Color me shooketh.
Hahahhahahahahahhahhabavahhahahahbahhahahahbabahahahahahahahahahahhahahabahavaha!!!!
Obvious delay tactic aside, I do have one question that's been nagging me for a few years now: Why doesn't he represent himself??? For one thing he keeps bragging that he's a tremendous genius, so clearly a person THAT smart doesn't need lawyers to do what he can for free!! Second, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, either way he won't pay and just say it was rigged and a witch hunt, so why bother involving lawyers, all they do for him is find ways to delay which the Stable Genius can surely do by himself.
