Oh yeah?



You are exhibiting your Dear Leader's thin-skin complex it seems. Poor Hawkeye, you complain about the victim culture but then turn around and play victim on the internet.

Good talk.

People...I was talking about people, about America generally.... If I was talking about you I would have named you.

And then we get more insults out of you...how shocking.

Whom ever taught you to behave failed you.

You're doing it again.

Between your self-aggrandizement and poor internet victim shtick, I'm not sure if I should get you some icy hot for the arm you overuse patting yourself on the back, or a tissue for all the cyber tears you shed.

It's not an insult if it's true, it's just a harsh reality.

Then you best go hang out with people you like, your presence is sure not doing me any good....

If this is good for you that is sad.

To me, it looks like Mr. Trump's addition of a lawyer who has expertise in dealing with the possible impeachment of a President gives a slight hint that Mr. Trump may be considering the possibility of there being an impeachment process being started.

That may not be true, but I would also suspect that if a businessman hired a lawyer who specialized in "defending tax fraud cases" when the IRS was "looking into" the businessman's tax returns was considering the possibility of their being "tax fraud process" being started.

I think its fair to suspect that if the dems win enough seats in the midterms they will vote to impeach him.

Hiring a lawyer in anticipation of that happening isn't a bad idea. What I find more interesting is that he took trump as a client. I suspect he sees something that he thinks he can use to win

Given what we know so far, I'd be more comfortable betting on

the fact that the lawyer got a huge retainer up front and that his retainer agreement includes a requirement that the balance in his trust account (from which he can draw to pay his bills) must be maintained at a very high six figure balance (and upon failure to maintain that balance his retainer ends)​

than I would be in betting on

the fact that the lawyer actually thinks that Mr. Trump did not commit an "impeachable act" (whatever that is).​

When a lawyer takes a high profile case they typically think they can beat the charge. The publicity they get and the boost to their reputation is far more valuable than the fees he collects

Not necessarily (been there, done that, got the tee shirt).

When a lawyer takes a high profile case, they most certainly are thinking of two things:

  1. "Will the publicity help me do what I want to do? (Which could be either financial or political [which tends to have a financial aspect to it].); and/or
  2. Do I believe in the case (which has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the guilt or innocence of the client) enough to weather any adverse effects that may come from losing it?

In the case where the client is impecunious, that may be the case.

In the case where the client is a self-proclaimed billionaire, the lawyer is a fool if they take the case "pro bono" rather than insisting on being paid, in full and on time.

Given the number of "high profile" lawyers that Mr. Trump has tried (and failed) to engage, my personal suspicion is that "certainty of winning the case" is taking second place to "certainty of being paid".

What a lot of people forget is that a "defence" lawyer's job is NOT to "win the case" but rather it is to prevent the other side's lawyers from "winning the case".
