They could always say no. It’s not like they were forced to take clients. Sure, everybody deserves to get a proper defense, but… I wouldn’t want to take that client.
It’s a “losing” scenario in my mind. We know they’re guilty. The question is whether that will be the true outcome or if some bullshit happens. Then you become either a dumb lawyer who took a losing case and lost. Or you become the shitbag that took a losing case and either delayed until trump was in power to quash all this or used unethical means to secure a bullshit outcome simply because of who your client is.
No doubt they will curry favor with the sycophants and rich criminals. But they’ll never be able to make those same plays again.
Yeah, that’s my problem with it. But I’m not a lawyer and I’m sure as hell not built to be one. I would laugh at her and send her home.
