Why do Trump’s attorneys always suck?

I just don’t get it. From Sidney Powell’s misspelling on public documents, Rudy’s hair dye running down his face, to that droning idiot yesterday. How can the man who negotiated peace deals, kept us from military conflict for four years, gave us the best economy ever, make such poor choices when it comes to legal representation?

It is baffling.

Because any association is being met with brutal blacklisting.

Donald Trump also doesn't really place nice with many people. It can be a tool for good and also a weakness when you need allies.

I don't get it either.

Just hire kids out of law school that just passed the bar. At least they would have the energy. Sure they would make mistakes but it couldn't be worse than the dipshit lawyers that he has now with years of experience.

IDK, but

This impeachment is such a sham you shouldn't really need a good one to win.

Michael Cohen is another one.

Maybe the vast majority of attorneys are leftists so he has very few to choose from?

Because competent folks don’t want to advance untenable positions.

Because DC was built by lawyers and DC hates Trump.

It's all part of the message. "Trump has no voice, you have no voice"

Maybe all attorneys think he is guilty.

Combination of potential blackballing and the fact that trump has a history of not paying people after the fact

Good attorneys represent guilty people all the time, but Trump wants performative litigation. He doesn't need particularly competent his attorneys if the jury is already committed to acquitting (as it is), but Trump gets pissed if his people look particularly embarrassing on TV as they did yesterday.

Hiring a team of people who have no experience navigating the legal/political system is not the best strategy when you're going up against the federal government.

Because most people with lives, families, and their own firm, etc. are scared of the blowback and cancelling that ensues from being associated with Trump. Its unfortunate, but its true.

Same reason why no competent, reasonable people seem to run for Congress

Trump's position here is a piece of fricking cake.

Just spend 2 hours listing all the times democrats have actually advocated violence, then shut up.

Actually his 1st Impeahment team was pretty good. But, Donald Trump is a very hard client to deal with purportedly. He does not listen to counsel....he expects counsel to listen to him. Even on matters of which he is not expert.
