Two Trump Impeachment lawyers have quit. CNN They are saying it is "mutual".

1. The retainer checks bounced

[MyMission]

22. Or he wanted an "only if I win" clause

No payment until after the trial, and only if I win will I pay.🙄

Or perhaps he wanted them to donate their services.

Or, as you suggested, the check bounced. But I doubt he ever wrote them a check. Or if he did, it was only a portion of what he'd agree to pay.

2. I've only heard of the two from South Carolina.

3. Trump is stalling for time

Nt

5. Can we get him a public defender?

Preferably, one that graduated form Liberty U Law?

[Siwsan]

6. And the word 'untenable' has entered the arena

I'm suspecting that trump* might not be the easiest and most cooperative of clients.

11. ya think?

He doesn't pay his lawyers, he doesn't follow their instructuions, he puts them in positions where they have to lie to the court or do something illegal, he continues to break the law and tells them about it, putting them in ethical jeopardy....

And then he trashes them when he needs a scapegoat, leaves their reputation in tatters, and lies 100% of the time to them.

Who would want that assclown as a client?

17. Well said, from an attorney's perspective.

To answer your question, “Not I.”

12. When you limit your lawyer's access via a Full Monty financial/legal of your realit....

how do you defend and why ruin your career in the process?

[Straw Man]

24. Yup.

It's like signing on as an artist's rep and discovering that your client's work consists of smearing his shit on walls. Kind of a heavy lift.

[First Speaker]

7. Maybe Otis P Driftwood is available...

[Talitha]

18. Hahahahaha!!!!

[FSogol]

9. I imagine him in his Mar-a-Lago golden bedroom surrounded by Big Mac Wrappers trying to find a pen

to write down the ambulance chaser numbers from ads on Fox Newz.

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. And he still can't post to Twitter.

it has to be driving him nucking futz.

[Stinky The Clown]

10. He can go without a lawyer. The jury is in his pocket already

[getagrip_already]

15. jordan and green will be there to defend him.....

and cruz and lindsay will agree with them.

[lame54]

13. Don't worry. Lindsey's got this

[msfiddlestix]

14. Didn't want to pay the fees in advance, I'm thinking.

Probably demanded full payment in advance and Trump refused or wouldn't agree to whatever their terms were.

On the other hand, He's probably arranged to defend himself. Won't that be special.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Maybe he'll appear and defend himself pro se.

Must-see tv. That would be such a demented performance that it just might be the one thing that could get a few GOPers to vote to convict.

[erronis]

20. Trump demanded a guarantee of 2B$ if he lost, 1B$ if he won.

for the excellent publicity the law firm would receive.

And the funds would need to be sent to someplace off-shore.

[Gothmog]

21. LOL
