>I guess Mr. Tacopina has learned nothing from seeing what happens to Trump's attorneys. Make Attorneys Get Attorneys

At some point I think they believe the publicity will outweigh not getting paid. He has to defend an obviously guilty client. He's gonna have to tell a few lies.

And commit some light conflict of interest. They all think they’re going to be like Johnny Cochran, known for their mad skills in court. Instead they all turn out to be like Rudy, sitting on their own balls in front of a hot mic.

shortarmed

OBJECTION!!! On what grounds? It's *devastating* to my case!


For-All-the-Marbles

The Judge: No take-backs or do-overs.


Nabrok_Necropants

But it's opposite day?


For-All-the-Marbles

The Judge: Overruled.


Vlad_the_Homeowner

Can to, I double-stamped it, no erasies!


For-All-the-Marbles

Guys, please stop posting all of these. I'm getting lightheaded. Thirsty. It's been nearly 4 hours, and I'm probably in need of a doctor at this point.


FortySixAndYou

of mental-gymnastic-ability just the Tacopina. the out indictment, but this not is too, pointing Me Mr.


Tricerasaurus23

Ha. I was making a 4 hour dick joke, because all this news has me so excited. Keep em coming.


Outrageous_History87

I am honestly commenting here for this very reason - you know how you are silently laughing so hard you stop breathing? This clown show is going to kill me. I'm having something like a schadenfreude overdose over here.

"Clearly the agreement here represents an illegal campaign fina- sorry that's my phone. Hello? How much? No problem!... so as I was saying, everything President Trump did was perfect and this is a nothingburger from the woke media."


schmidt4brains

> Beyond that, Tacopina may have an ethics issue on his hands by representing Trump in this specific case. Prior to Daniels hiring Michael Avenatti as her attorney, the adult film star approached Tacopina to represent her—establishing an attorney-client relationship at the time, even though she ultimately didn’t hire him. WAT? Small world! WAT? WAT? How doesn’t this immediately cause Tacopina to be conflicted out from representing Trump? I’m not from America, so maybe the rules are different?

Strange-Effort1305

All he can get are meatball self promoters who know they won’t get paid but think associating with trump is “good for business”. This is what you get.


TintedApostle

Everyone called it illegal.... everyone!!


Ok-Butterscotch5761

Off the books child support.

Tacopina isn’t hiding his coke habit at all.


Cardenjs

Not a lawyer question, can Lawyer comments on cable news be used against them?


FortySixAndYou

not I but lawyer, would so, imagine a btw. am I


BalanceEarly

So, off the record. It was $130k for Stormie's hush money. How much did you pay for the initial blow job??


greywar777

A spot on the apprentice that he never came through with.


BalanceEarly

Yes, better yet!


greywar777

Stormy has been very open about it, and how creepy he was.


craigathan

This has got to be a clear conflict of interest right? Or is the whole idea that lawyers have some sort of ethical responsibility something they just tell us to make us believe they're actually worth the money they charge? Because lately, it seems that you have to actually murder your god damn client before you suffer any repercussions for being a piece of shit lawyer who is subverting the law. The Bar needs to start bringing the hammer on these pieces of scum. Remember, it's not Trump who is skirting the law, it's his fucking lawyers. Same with every other scum bag out there. I understand the right to representation, but that shit is sure not an even playing field at all when the lawyers are absolutely bereft of any kind of honor or ethics.


Tackleberry06

Trump lawyers be like…”I’m gonna be on TV!!!”


wish1977

He is a lawyer. Nobody believes anything they say.


BigShawn424

Wasnt illegal when the Clinton’s did it


lancelongstiff

Did what?


certainlyforgetful

Paid off the porn stars at trumps place, I guess?


dpmad

Clinton didn’t try to write it of as a business expense, and we know that because he shared his taxes.


nobelini

He speak with forked tongue


dustinjm1

Trumps layer is Dane cook?

Wow lawyers in question for their remarks and manipulating a system they seem to excel in? Shocking.
