    This might be a little bit reductive, but I’m pretty sure you can tell that they’re not competent lawyers because they are Trump’s lawyers.

    He’s known to ignore his lawyers, lie to them, refuse to pay them, and throw them under the bus. I can’t imagine a competent lawyer wanting that client. Maybe someone just looking to get their name plastered everywhere, aka some kind of grifter, but definitely not a competent lawyer.

        Hopefully they’re still always meeting with him with another lawyer in the room so they can verify what he says.

        My point, I think, still stands.

        Like they do for us plebs? Last time I hired an attorney they required a retainer upfront.
