I’m actually surprised he was able to find lawyers in the first place.
I’ve legitimately lost track of how many of his lawyers have been disbarred, fined stupid amounts of money, or pled guilty to felonies. I kept track for a while, but there are just too many.
Any lawyer accepting his cases at this point must be assumed to be dumber than potted light bulbs or under duress.
Or they're in on the grift, somehow. Crooked lawyers, while likely rare, do still exist, as evidenced by the common names that have helped the likes of Alex Jones, Trump, etc. The rest are the greenhorns too naive to know that their career is effectively over, because they're not getting paid and they'll have lost the most important cases for their demigod.

Thus the felony pleadings. I include those in ‘dumber than a box of hair’.
Good work Barnes.
Grape job, Barnes.
It’s not clear why Tacopina decided to withdraw,
80% chance he hasn't been paid for most of his work and he's tried of excuses, or
20% chance he's afraid of catching charges himself because the trump team keeps asking to do illegal stuff, or both.
There’s also the worry that he’s going to use the “advice of council” defense in some of his ongoing trials. Basically, people think he’s going to go “it wasn’t my fault I broke the law, because I did it on the advice of my legal council. The only reason I did it is because my lawyers told me it was legal. I can’t be held accountable for breaking the law, because a reasonable person would expect their lawyers to provide good council. My lawyers should be held accountable instead of me.”
Basically, people think Trump is going to put his lawyers on blast, to try and divert the charges away from himself. This waives his attorney-client privilege, (because it basically turns his attorney’s records into evidence, and prosecutors can inspect his attorney’s papers to see if they have him bad council,) but it could potentially land his lawyers in hot water if prosecutors discover that they did, in fact, provide bad council.
But this also means no lawyers are going to want to work with him in the future. Because he’s proven that when shit hits the fan, he’ll throw his legal council under the bus. Even if the attorneys have only done things by the book, no legal office is going to want to deal with that headache.

I am fairly sure there is still a long line of lawyers waiting to work for him. The quality of those lawyers is probably not awesome and they are probably too dumb to realize they are just more meat for the grinder.
Huge pet peeve here, but it's counsel not council.
Making Attorneys Get Attorneys
MAGA making attornys get attorneys
Is it just the lighting, or did they photoshop in the extra orange on him? I know he is orange, but that picture has him hilariously cheetoh-flavored orange.
He looks like he's throwing a Heil over a zoom call with a blurry background.
Probably just flagging down someone or his car. Almost every New Yorker would be guilty of doing this otherwise. 
It looks like he might be standing under some kind of very yellow/orange light.
In front of entrances for high end NYC hotels, they have awnings (roof?) That has light bulb looking heating elements so when people are waiting for a cab or car during winter the guests don't freeze. They had an orange tint to them so that's probably it.
Not only is he extra orange He's holding his hand out your general direction and it looks way tinier then it should even for his tiny hands.
It must be the lighting or photoshop, because he’s not a good enough MUA to have considered the palms of his hands.
He didn't "win" shit, this was always going to be a make-believe contest
Yeah, 50,000 of the most zealous R's in Iowa voted for him And about the same amount wished for pretty much anyone else. Hardly a ringing endorsement.

OH NO! I have lost all of my lawyers! Judge, it would be unfair if I went into my federally pardonable trial right now without representation! Could you please delay the trial AGAIN until after November so that I can find more suckers- I mean lawyers to defend me?
Again? Isn't this already like his 8th string team now?
Trump “has the most experienced, qualified, disciplined, and overall strongest legal team ever assembled,” according to his spokesman.
his spokesman
John Barron?
He knows the best people.

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy
You forgot this part of what you linked: We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information and a clean fact check record.
I don't rate New Republic very high personally because of their obvious bias.
I didn’t forget anything. I simply posted the first paragraph of the report. That’s why the link is there.
