      They don’t understand that made lawyers are a) extremely difficult and expensive to recruit and maintain and b) a thing that not every lawyer is. When the mob gets a lawyer that will go to prison for them that’s one of their most valuable resources, much like a good fixer. Magas seem to think that those are both just aspects of being a lawyer and that legitimate lawyers will be cool with it.

    Honestly, getting stiffed on millions of dollars in fees is a small price to pay for agreeing to represent a shit sandwich in the first place.

      Luckily the only people likely to hire them will now drink whatever kool-aid Mike spits out and pass over them for being treasonous, communist, socialist, atheists.

    Imagine being so thoroughly scammed that you’re willing to spend all your amassed wealth fighting against democracy on behalf of gaslighting fascists.

    These lawyers were happy to take a paycheck to subvert democracy.

    Seems only fair that they should have some skin in the game.

    If taking on the trash case of a broke client bankrupts the firm, that’s natural consequences.

    “Daddy Donny doesn’t pay his lawyers and gets away with it, so why can’t I do the same?”

    I’m just spit balling here; but I think Mr Lumpy Pillow might have been better off as a crackhead.

    See, Mike Lindell liked crack before the Lumpy Pillow Co™ but there isn’t a drug stronger than sheep-minded snowflake stupidity and the means to be loud and obnoxious with it.

    He was never in this much financial trouble, which is quite a feat, and his mental state could be argued was many times more sane as a cooked coke fiend.
