According to a report from the New York Times, the quip that "MAGA" (Make America Great Again) also means "making attorneys get attorneys" is particularly apt as dozens of lawyers who rushed to defend Donald Trump now find themselves facing disbarment, investigations, subpoenas and possible criminal charges.

As the report from Michael Schmidt and Luke Broadwater notes, "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."

Pointing out that the danger has become even more acute since Trump became a former president, the report goes on to note that high-profile attorneys such as Rudy Giuliani and more obscure attorneys who fought to have the 2020 election overturned at the state level are all seeing their careers severely damaged by their association with Trump.

1. Get fucked, traitors!

2. Well, they can't say they weren't warned back then.

Most 1st-tier and even 2nd-and 3rd-tier lawyers stayed away from Washington during Trump's mis-administration and refused to take jobs then and there.

They realized that any association with that jerkwad at any level would become a black spot on their resumes.

3. Good. They deserve it.

Every client is entitled to their lawyer's zealous representation within the bounds of the law, but when lawyers start taking an active part in their client's bullshit/delusions/crimes, they ought to get whatever ass-kicking can be meted out.

4. One wonders why they take him as a client

They should be aware of his reputation for not paying at the very least.

5. Maybe arrogance - thinking that all those other lawyers couldn't handle Trump

or his weird lawsuits but I can, and I'll be famous for being the only lawyer who was able to save Trump's ass!

So far nobody has managed that feat, which is why he's finding it harder and harder to hire any lawyers but the assorted Lawyer Barbies who look great on Fox but have never handled anything more complicated than a shopping mall lease, or a few others who are on day passes from their psych institutions.

7. ah. too bad.

9. Boo-fucking-hoo

These scumbag lawyers should never have been admitted to the bar in the first place. They obviously don't understand the law or the Constitution.

Even that fool Eastman knew what he was doing was illegal. He hoped that if they were able to keep Trump in office, he'd be safe from any repercussions. Hey, John! How's that working out for ya?

All these lawyers should be sanctioned. They knew they were outside the law. Throw the book at them.

10. Reverse Midas touch

Like everything the traitor touches, it becomes a disaster. He's the only person ever to lose money on a casino. These lawyers figured they would get some cache by associating with the President of the USA. They figured they could grift like every other MAGA leader. No sympathy.

11. Any lawyer ignorant of the fact that Trump ruins everything he comes into contact with,

is much too stupid to be a lawyer.

12. Disbar them all

Malpractice

13. These are grown adults stupid enough to believe Donald Trump

They get whatever they chose to deserve

15. They can't have been very smart to begin with.

Any of those shysters who had $$$ in their eyes ignored the fact that Trump ruins everything he touches. He's the reverse-Midas; everything he touches turns to shit.
