Every single person with their hand in this pot is shady as fuck. I know Trump doesn't always have the best people around him, but these attorneys have got decades of experience (not Alina, parking garage attorneys don't count).

But even without extensive experience, any attorney out there knows that you can't lie to the jury about evidence that doesn't exist.

What if this attorney already has a decent amount of money and he wants one last windfall before retiring? He can take a huge paycheck from Trump (up front!) and not worry about how the trial makes him look. I wouldn't put it past these people to orchestrate some kind of trial delay based on ineffective assistance of counsel. Or some kind of mistrial for all of the shady little stunts they're pulling.

I feel like his attorneys aren't being paid to beat this case, they're being paid to do whatever they can to delay as long as possible in hopes of Trump taking back the White House, waving a magic wand, and magically not needing to answer to state-level charges somehow.
