Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Mr. Trump, did not directly address Mr. Tacopina’s departure, saying only that Mr. Trump “has the most experienced, qualified, disciplined, and overall strongest legal team ever assembled”
Oh yeah, his legal team is fucked
Sounds like a statement from North Korea.
Or this guy
Good old Baghdad Bob!
Last I heard, he was the spokesman for a Turning Point USA chapter. Didn’t even have to change his communication style or anything!
Fkn lol, dude was hilarious.
🤣 disciplined
He’s not wrong. I’ve never seen so many lawyers receive so many punishments from so few judges. They are indeed getting disciplined.
Fun #LIFEHACK!
Remember to just always add the words “does not” or “is not” into these statements if you want the actual truth.
“DOES NOT have the most…”
“IS NOT the most…”
They’ll be immediately saying it was a bad team that couldn’t win an obviously innocent case when he loses
This is why Trump basically has multiple teams of freshman lawyers.
The few experienced lawyers brave enough to take him on quickly find out that he’s a giant man-baby who’s unable to be controlled or reasoned with (or their hubris makes them think they are one who can), and the greenhorns are too naive to know it’s a trap and that they’re just fodder for the Trump Grift Machine.
Either way, get fucked Joe. You should have left long ago and kept whatever shred of decency you used to have, instead of letting this rapist continue to abuse his victim.
I suspect it’s more about realizing that he won’t get paid than anything else. Plenty of lawyers willing to defend the guilty when they’re paid to do it
Plenty of lawyers willing to defend the guilty
As they should.
Justice can only be served when the defendant has had the opportunity to have a good defense.
Trump is definitely guilty, and I agree that he deserves a defense, but unfortunately for him, it kind of goes out the window when he doesn’t respect the laws and courts that give him that right.
He has the right to a defense, not a good one, and that’s exactly what he’s getting because of his behavior.
He has the right to a defense, not a good one, and that’s exactly what he’s getting because of his behavior.
How about, he has a right to the best defense his ego will allow him to have?
I suspect quite a few would represent a former president for free just to have that on their resume, it’s being disbarred or named in future lawsuits that’s the deal-breaker.
When they think they have a chance to win, and even they can control their client

These idiots always work until they try to get paid.
Tacopina declined to say why he was leaving. If he’s a competent lawyer then he’d require cash up front. My money is on Trump being stupid with his lawyers again, or he refused to add more funds to his account.
They really should be demanding payment up front. I have always had to pay up front when talk with a lawyer how is he not paying them?
You only pay a certain amount up front. Once that amount is used up, they bill hourly sending invoices once or twice a month. When he doesn’t pay that, the attorney quits, and trump has to hire a new (sometimes team of) lawyer who needs time to get up to speed on the case and it can be a delaying tactic as much as lowlife-ness.
Chris Kise did just that, got his $3M up front.
Mr. O’Brien, one and a trombone to beam up.
No cash, no work.
Any lawyer who represents Trump should have their head examined. He lies to them, blames them when the lies don’t work, and then stiffs them on the bill. It’s just stupid to represent him. The really good lawyers already know this and decline representation. The ones who stupidly take his cases get what they deserve.
lol get rekt bitches
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mr. Tacopina also withdrew on Monday from another case in which he was still legally representing Mr. Trump: an appeal of the verdict in a lawsuit brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll.
The trial in Manhattan, in which he is accused of falsifying business records to hide hush-money payments to a porn star during the 2016 election, could begin as early as March.
He has represented high-profile clients ranging from the Fox News host Sean Hannity, who on his show called Mr. Tacopina one of the “greatest defense attorneys of all time,” to the former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and the rapper A$AP Rocky.
The withdrawals came a day before jury selection is set to begin in a second trial stemming from the allegations brought by Ms. Carroll, who accused Mr. Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.
Mr. Trump last week delivered part of his own closing remarks in the New York attorney general’s civil case, and was rebuked by the judge for going outside the confines of what he was allowed to talk about.
Mr. Rodriguez, in a brief interview, said he could not speak to Mr. Tacopina’s involvement with Mr. Trump, but described his own experience being represented by him as he battled a suspension from Major League Baseball related to steroid use.
The original article contains 767 words, the summary contains 223 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

It was not clear why Mr. Tacopina decided to withdraw, and he declined to comment.
Hahahaha! AhhhhhhhhHahahahahahaha! Does anyone think it’s NOT because Trump’s check bounced and he refused to pay what they agreed?
Based on the actual article it sounds like they disagreed in whether Trump should make the closing arguments.
