The classified thing is a somewhat nothing burger. The issue is whether Trump had the right to take any of the documents or objects, under the Presidential Records Act.

From the receipt of the items taken, there sure seems to be at least a good amount that he does not have the right to have.

The problem the attorney has is that he gave a certified letter to the Feds stating a materially false fact. Attorney is going to have a criminal problem under 18 USC 1001, maybe an additional obstruction problem.

Trump is going to fk his attorney like he did Cohen and Bannon, and put all the blame on the attorney. Just watch.

Well, any attorney is going to have to have a serious review whether to represent Trump. Any client that would willingly leave me at loose ends in front of the Feds to save his own ass I think I would pass on. Not to mention the issue that Trump would fk any attorney with a malpractice suit in a NY heartbeat.

Simply based on that -- yeah, there is a reason why the upper level law firms are not taking him on as a client, or, are ditching him. The odds of the firm and/or attorney being fked by Trump are out of this world high.

I call BS you would jump at the chance SPARKLES!!!!

There are a lot of people I wouldnt represent, and a lot of types of people I wouldnt represent.

The advantage I enjoy in the later stages of my career is that I can do the things I want to do, and I dont have to kill myself in that respect.

Not just for the reasons above, but in addition, Trump and his circle are notorious for stiffing the **** out of anyone that does business with them. Including attorneys. This has been common for decades. I know a partner in one biglaw firm who told me about the stiffing of 2-3 millionish legal bill by the Trump group. But that aspect about Trump and vendors is really common knowledge when you bother to look.

I have some clients that dont pay. But those are the ones I expressly do work with as a up front pro bono basis. Not the ones that make it an after the fact condition of 'too bad, swallow the bill, chump"

So no, there would be almost no way I would ever represent Trump, or any of his companies or endeavors. But, just make sure you dont pop a cork over my "I wouldnt work for the dude", there are a number of people and entities that fit those same molds. Life is too short for the proverbial shitbird clients like that.

Much like life is too short to deal with the ignorant folk that seemingly like to make stuff up out of thin air that some do. Have a great evening Mr. Blue.

Well a number of firms and attorneys have been pressured by Dems not to represent Trump. Its an effort to deny him justice under the law.

You are absolutely correct that a number have been pressured in that manner.

But Trump also has scores of years of self-inflicted 'stiff the bill issues' with many of the larger firms as well, which doesnt help.

Now, you have him putting people into bad places and pulling the rug to put that extra cherry on top. Cohen as an example. Bannon as another. Trump really scrogged Bannon, mind you.

Now the dude who certified the letter to the DOJ in June telling the DOJ an untruth is going to find himself/herself in a pickle. Seriously, when the raid went down, and boxes started to be pulled, the lawyer who wrote that letter is going to have a pants stain moment or two. Maybe criminal, maybe ethics hearing. I cant imagine that angst or the feeling in the pit of one's stomach when it turns out you sent a letter with a material false statement, certified, to the Feds.

There are serious risks with a client that will play fast and loose with your career. Thats 'yikes' territory. Doubly so when your client is Trump who already has a giant bullseye on him. Triply so with a client like Trump who will fk you in a split second to pull himself out of a jam.
