    There are two things his lawyers are going to bank on: that toxic and illegal are very different things and that their real goal is to drag things out in hopes of a second term for Trump.

      Maybe the ones that aren’t co-defendants with him … yet. Although helping him win a 2nd term gets them what? If he gets his 2nd term, and the GOP gladly allow him to assume his dream of being dictator:

        1. he will have just as much chance of paying them (probably less than 1%).
        1. he would also have no need for the law/lawyers/judges. I think anyone that could challenge him would be in the first wave of the “purge” .

      … their real goal is to drag things out because they get paid by the hour.

        Hopefully, for their sakes, they get paid up front. If they work and then bill Trump for their hours worked, then they might not get paid at all.

        It’s a convenient scenario where the best strategy for the client is also the highest billing strategy.
