Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

my favorite business teacher once told me almost no one has to do anything. we just need to accept the consequences of those actions... breathe/dont breathe.. steal/dont steal.
no one is holding a gun to these lawyers heads, are they? these arent 'public defenders' answering the call of their duty. these are private, douchebag lawyers who have chosen to be douchebags.... correct me if im wrong.
Yeah, they can drop the client if they wanted to. And they probably should, they arent gonna get paid either way.
My pet theory is that they know they won't be paid. It's an ad for these lawyers, who will be contacted later by ultra conservative clients or even mobs. They want a mob lawyer who does, for example, delay tactics, the defining scheme of the Trump franchise.
Interesting theory. A few of his past lawyers have been disbarred though, so probably not working out well for them :/.
And maybe its just me, but i think i would want the lawyer for my crime syndicate to be a little lower profile. Hiring these guys is just waving a red flag to law enforcement?
Same kind of thing was said by my Life Skills teacher in high school.
