How far is team rump prepared to go, now that witnesses will be called?

[Cirque du So-What]

Lawyerin’ costs money - big bucks - so how enthusiastic can these attorneys be about staying on for an indeterminate duration, given rump’s past history of stiffing those he hires? The end result of this trial is unlikely to change, but by god the public will hear the truth from witnesses under oath. RepuQs must pay a price for their mendacity and fecklessness.

1. I can't imagine anyone working for MF45

without getting payment up front. And waiting to start work until after that payment has cleared in a non-refundable way.

2. Trump will dig himself into a deeper hole.

His instincts drive him to create a bigger mess to exact revenge.
Republicans may begin to see the risk of clinging to this bullshit.

3. Trump has money for lawyers

The hundreds of millions the sheep gave him to "stop the steal can be applied to legal fees.

6. He still doesn't like paying

It goes against his religion.

7. but he doesn't use it to pay lawyers

that's why he has these bad lawyers working for him. For now, anyway. Maybe we'll see even worse ones after these fellows quit.

10. Imagine that he's going to need to squirrel much of it aside for pending lawsuits.

4. Unemployed Florida Man called to testify at impeachment trial

Can't wait to see THAT headline!

5. I think it was a bluff.

But even if it wasn’t, I’m good with it taking as long as it takes to save our democracy.

Not our problem if the lawyers who chose to defend a snake get stiffed.

[Johnny2X2X]

8. These lawyers are paid for by us

This is surely lawyers being paid by tax dollars.

[Cirque du So-What]

9. Nope

QUESTION:

Are taxpayers on the hook for former President Donald Trump's legal fees in the upcoming impeachment trial?

ANSWER:

No.

The Verify team spoke with a trio of legal and legislative experts who said that the president was responsible for paying for his legal fees, just as he was in the first impeachment trial.
