For Trump’s Lawyers, Legal Exposure Comes With the Job
Legal Exposure Is Part of the Job for Trump's Attorneys.
The many lawyers who have helped the former president avoid removal from office and indictment have drawn legal problems of their own.
A dark joke has begun circulating among lawyers following the many legal travails of former President Donald J. Trump
MAGA actually stands for “making attorneys get attorneys.”
Over six years and nine major investigations by Congress, the Justice Department and local prosecutors,
as Mr. Trump has managed to avoid removal from the presidency and indictment,
it has become clear that serving as one of his lawyers is a remarkably risky job — and one that can involve considerable legal exposure.
Time after time, his attorneys have been asked to testify as witnesses to potential crimes — or evaluated as possible criminal conspirators themselves.
