Trumps refusal to listen to his lawyers is 'coming home to roost': legal expert

I sure hope so! But I wonder if it is inevitable that during a trial when he doesn’t like what his landscape lawyer is telling him he fires them and states it’s not fair due to ineffective counsel. Given that there are hundreds or more lawyers/firms he fired or wouldn’t take him, that would be the joke filing of the century.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Katie Phang Show," former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade claimed that Donald Trump's actions following the search at his Mar-a-Lago resort that led to the discovery of boxes of stolen documents have made it difficult for the DOJ to not file charges against him.

With host Phang stating it was "put up or shut up time" for Trump to make a solid case for keeping the documents, McQuade said it may be too late.

"So often Donald Trump's defense is to win the court of public opinion, to win the news day; he's thinking about today," she explained. "He's not really thinking about tomorrow and most lawyers will tell their clients not to say anything. because whatever you say can be used against you. So I think we're seeing some of that come home to roost here."

He always thinks he is without question the smartest man in the room.

If he ends up being dragged kicking and screaming into the courthouse - only his beautiful and most knowledgeable legal mind on the planet - can save him from protracted litigation from inconveniencing or detaining him in any way.

TRump thinks he is the most consummate thinker,... debater,.. and legal mind of all - bar none.
