1. That case is never happening

2. From the article:

   “Corcoran’s depature follows the exit of other Trump lawyers, including Jim Trusty and John Rowley. That leaves the former president with a team of attorneys who are relative newcomers who did not interact with the Justice Department in the lead-up to Trump’s indictment.”

   [Full list of lawyers who have quit](https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-donald-trump-lawyers-quit-2020-election-1861366) working for trump:

   “Reacting to the news, Michael Cohen, former Trump attorney turned frequent critic of the former president, told Newsweek: “Finding competent counsel has plagued Donald for many years now due to his erratic legal requests and delinquent payment history.”

3. “I took the deal”

4. Dumb question, but if a lawyer quits working for a client, does the lawyer-client confidentiality thing still hold?

5. Same guy from a few days ago or new one?

6. Quit b4 he gets disbarred like 4 of Trumps past attorneys

7. >should the long-delayed trial go forward.

   I am so angry about this.

8. Translation: lawyers are not supposed to, in theory, represent a defendant who insist she or he is not guilty when the lawyer knows damn well she or he is guilty. I mean holy frack: the criminals documented themselves committing the crimes.

9. If the Donald is paying with dark money or election campaign funds these attorneys are looking at a lifelong set of entanglements.

10. Options for Trump lawyers:

    1. Pro Bono work
    2. Disbarred
    3. Doing time for your client

11. If the 2 employees and ex-lawyer flip and become state witnesses, does this make the judges efforts to delay more difficult?

12. He’s cooked boys! Were almost done here
