The Trump campaign’s longtime lawyers asked a judge to remove them from a case they have been working on for six years—a move the woman suing the team says “stinks to high heaven.”

    The guy who hasn’t paid a lot of lawyers didn’t pay us, but we can’t reveal that or we look stupid for taking the case. Maybe.

    “Hey judge, we’re pretty sure we’re gonna lose and we don’t want that on our record, is it cool if we bolt?”

      I’d be happy to let them - they’ve spent a lot of Trump’s money and if they jump ship the new trial team would be fucked.

      That is, assuming, that it wouldn’t delay the trial which is the tactic they’re pursuing here AFAICT.

        Nah, they’re not withdrawing from another one of his cases that’s currently ongoing, which I’m pretty sure one could expect if there were a real breakdown in communications. This looks like a play.
