    Before you call people names and accuse them, it might be courteous to check for yourself..

    I think Trump feels he is above the law, and pushes his lawyers, but his lawyers know they are not above the law, even if Trump is

    None of those stories mentions threats against trump’s lawyers.

    Let alone a story about trump’s lawyers dropping him because of such (non existent) threats.

    So that's enough to convince you their not threatened, that explains how some folks clearly can't think beyond what they're told to think and believe..

    So I guess I will endure you :roll:

    Glad I could help you

    LOL, always playing the poor victim with the right. When their heroes are in legal peril, y'all always go running to play the victim card.

    Find a new tune, cause this one is old and played out. LOL

    I am asking the question. Why did the question upset you so much?

    Celebrities, politicians, and popular political speakers, commonly receive threats as they live in the spotlight. And Donald Trump carries a huge spotlight that seems to shine on the people around him.

    Not everyone likes the spotlight.

    My money is on magnitudes less than the threats received from Trump supporters on any that disparage Trump.

    They only get disbarred when they break the law.

    Sidney Powell pleaded guilty.

    Well, this is a spin off topic but it would appear that Todd Blanche may have to exit the door soon. Agent Oranges isn't "happy" with how his criminal guilt is being managed and might be needing a "buy time" mistrial by blaming and firing his current legal counsel.

    Being Trump's legal counsel is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

    That's funny considering your OP did not even have a link in it. Couldn't take 2 minutes to find a non paywall version of it?
    The audacity!
    First link in the search! (are you kidding me?)

    She will not have pleaded to anything after the time limit is over... Powell is literally not convicted of anything..
    Willis has a zero conviction record at this time...

    Blanche can't try to withdraw from the case.
    He bet his career on defending Trump and now Trump is all his.

    The judge wouldn't permit it anyway.

    Then Agent Oranges is trying to setup his appeal. He's The Loudest Whining Victim so it's got to be someone's fault.

    You're welcome for what?

    Daily Beast/Yahoo didn't post the NYT's story until today, Wed, May 1, 2024 at 4:45 AM EDT;

    It wasn't online @ 10 something pm when the OP started this thread with the NYT breaking news.

    When that is the only tune being played by P01135809, the token hero.
    That is the only one they are allowed to practice.
    Any other way to explain something is not in their playbook.

    Lawyers are not stupid, but are concerned with their own well being. Every lawyer, close advisor or top associate of Trump is in the cross hairs of the hate Trump attitude and purge. That scares the bejesus out of most of them so they sever their ties to protect their neck and skin. Ask liberal Democrat Dershowitz who wrote a book about it.

    The everything's "unconstitutional " Dershowitz?

    He's a repulsive sleazebag opportunist and just because he got shunned, and rightfully so, he tries to include lawyers who want nothing to do with Trump because he's a lying cheap blowhard client who doesn't take their advice and is known for not paying.

    They don't want to be on the long and getting longer list of lawyers who represented Trump, destroyed their careers,were indicted, are paying obscene amounts of money for defense lawyers and some lost their licenses to practice law or are on their way to.

    How clever you are. At the time I commenced the Thread, the NYT was breaking the story. Of course there are other links now it is 'old hat.'
