1. Awwwwww....

[Hugin]

2. ProTip: It helps if you pay them.

Cash. In advance, would be nice.

[lagomorph777]

14. Maybe Rudy will work Pro Boner

[Generic Other]

21. If you can only get Rudy to be your lawyer

You better just plead guilty.

[Hugin]

23. In all seriousness, in the last scene of the last act of every...

real life Malignant Narcissist (psychopath) case I've ever looked at they inevitably go Pro Se.

Simply, because they think they are perfect at everything including lawyering. Try as they may, they feel they haven't been adequately represented in the idiot courts by fools as attorneys.

I've been waiting for this shoe to drop for the last six months. The odds of it happening go up six fold after next Wednesday when the real heat starts.

Of course, as the curtain closes the last card is played, where realizing they've screwed themselves. They try to file a motion for a mistrial due to something to do with how they want a do-over with a real lawyer.

3. How about the DC Public Defender's Office?

[wryter2000]

4. Is it true he's not going to pay Rudy?

Why would anyone work for him?

[CincyDem]

5. I guess announcing that you're not paying your previous attorney has its consequences.

That, and being an asshat, are making it understandably tough.

[servermsh]

6. I guarantee he has asked aides to get Judge Wapner

Guaranteed!

[Vogon_Glory]

7. Well, if you threaten not to pay your lawyers

this sort of thing happens.

[C_U_L8R]

8. Just saying. Stiffing your lawyers isn't a very smart strategy.

But then everything this dunce has done has been idiotic and self-defeating

[Bev54]

9. What about Judge Jeanine or whatever her name is?

[Skraxx]

10. This Guys Available:

?w=341&h=272

[Andy823]

11. Well he could always

represent himself at the trial. I think that would something worth watching!

[kirby]

13. The ratings would be the best ever! n/t

[Mike 03]

12. What I wouldn't give to see Lin Wood take on this task.

Oh, and Sidney Powell too.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Lin Wood would be great. nt

[andym]

15. Is Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley available?

Either could serve double duty-- lawyer and juror. Of course, it's in their interest to see him convicted so he can't run again, but...

[Irish_Dem]

16. His press secretary Kayleigh has a Harvard law degree.

And she has the BS down pat.

[Hugin]

25. I saw a post late last night which indicated she'd popped silk.

Pulled the old rip cord.

Hit the road jack.

Slipped out the back door.

Took the long adios.

Bai.

[Irish_Dem]

26. She couldn't milk any more $$$ from the WH gig. n

[LeftInTX]

36. She is still listed as Press Secretary

https://twitter.com/PressSec

I think the other post had to do with her "tuning out" or something like that. Her God bless America tweet was on her personal twitter.

[Hugin]

37. Nobody left to do the updates?

The wheelhouse is emptier than usual?

The possibilities are endless.

[Vivienne235729]

29. I did not know she has a harvard law degree. I'm shocked. WHYYYY in the world would she get involved

in something like this? What a waste of an education and professional career. She went to all that schooling so that no one credible on planet earth would believe anything coming out of her mouth.

[Irish_Dem]

31. She knew a pretty blond spewing Trump propaganda can make a lot of money.

And then get a job at a GOP think tank.

[LeftInTX]

34. I think she's still press secretary

https://twitter.com/PressSec

[malaise]

17. Let him defend himself

He knows more than everyone on the planet

[NCjack]

20. Yeah. If he is convicted, he can appeal on the basis that

he was poorly represented by a fool.

[malaise]

22. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[ananda]

19. I agree that any lawyer idiotic enough to take that case..

would be jumping on a political grenade, a career one too.

[Chainfire]

24. Maybe Rudy will defend him on credit. He knows Trump is good for it. :)

[MyOwnPeace]

27. Simple explanation......

BunkerBoy thinks the legal term "Pro Bono" is really "Pro Boner!"

[DFW]

28. He must have blown up at his staff when they couldn't find

Perry Mason‘s phone number

[Baked Potato]

30. Prepare to see some Flaky Jakes and Janes pop up.

[edhopper]

32. I am sure

Howard, Howard and Fine are available.

[Kid Berwyn]

33. H2O Man had some great suggestions...

[Cha]

35. Call Rudey! Where's that tiny

violin?

[MineralMan]

38. Better Call Saul!

[sarcasmo]

39. Stiffed Rudy now now lawyer will work the Con.

[lindysalsagal]

40. Far as I know, this guy's available: But there are side effects:
