Apparently there were no lawyers among the fake electors of Nevada.
P.S. It is certainly concerning that so many lawyers are ready and willing to abandon their professional ethics and descend into criminality. However, I do not take this as a sign that the system is broken. On the contrary! A few bad apples do not mean that the entire crop is rotten. I take all these disciplinary actions and indictments as a sign that the system is working! (I do wish it would work a little faster, though.)
Finally, there seems to be some justice in the world. Maybe the word will get around and people will think twice before taking on any cases from tRump. What would be fantastic would to see some of SCROTUS (Supreme Court republicans of the US) members get disciplined.
SCROTUS! Yes, I would love to see them disciplined, but I'm not holding my breath.
@Flyingsaucesir This came to me as a way of separating the 3 (all women) saner justices fro the rest of the cabal.
@pedigojr I say, old chap! You do have a way with words! SCROTUS! It's a stroke of genius!
And how many of them actually got paid?
That is an excellent question. Probably none!
We learned this week that Rudy Giuliani's lawyer, Robert Costello, is suing his client for $2 million in unpaid legal fees. I guess what comes around goes around.
Trump stiffs Guliani; Guliani stiffs Costello; Costello tries to screw Cohen; Cohen gets Trump convicted. Perfect!
Or if our focus is only on the unpaid fees, we could say "what doesn't go around doesn't come around"
Birds of a feather, do flock together.
Taking on Trump as a client is probably not the best career choice for any lawyer, young or old.
@Flyingsaucesir All that taking on Trump for a client does is get a lawyer some attention.
