A Michigan attorney who unsuccessfully sued to overturn former President Donald Trump's 2020 loss has been arrested after a hearing on a separate case in Washington, D.C.
Most people would follow up with “which one? Can I call them for references?”
The reality is that losing a court case isn’t always a “loss” from the lawyer’s perspective.
If your client is guilty, sometimes the win condition is getting a lighter-than-otherwise sentencing or judgement, for example.
But working for trump is stupid. 1) everyone knows he’s guilty, 2) when he loses- and he’s going to be losing ALOT- he’s going to blame shitty lawyers, 3) the kind of “exposure” he provides actually terrible. 4) he doesn’t pay his bills.
Edit: 5) the job is gonna take a shit ton of hours, and 6) you’ll have to get your own lawyer

I think we’ve seen many times now from the people defending Trump (and other situations) that you don’t have to be smart to pass the bar exam.
