re: Hush Money Trial

I’ve come to the conclusion, as a general matter, that any attorney I come into contact with on this topic whose first instinct isn’t to opine on how fricked up it is and denounce an utterly obvious unconscionable exploitation of and for shining an illegitimate spotlight on our profession……. I immediately know that this attorney isn’t of respectable character or quality.

Now once what should be that instinctive gut reaction is out of the way, then I would totally get the attorney has a certain mindset for pondering some argument in support of the prosecution “if someone put a gun to my head and made me” type exercise.
