Quit calling him "the President". He's a FORMER President at best but I would prefer you call him the clown.

[iamjackscompletelackofsurp]

The list of people who have quit and walked away from trump is epic in length!

[johnwhauwhau]

Too many times Trump has shown his cards, he doesn't pay his bills, he doesn't listen to his attorney's, he's forever taking attorney's down with him. He's just not the kinda guy you would want for a client.

[jayskateandsuchstuff]

Attorneys quit when they think there’s no money in the case, when they know they can’t win and when they think they’re going down with you.

[stevewhitson]

Another attorney bites the dust takes the fall for the criminal in chief.

[stackula]

I'm thinking every lawyer he's ever had is still owed money.

[PaulineMontagna]

I guess we now know the title of Bernstein and Woodward’s next book: All the President’s Lawyers.

It amazes me how anyone would ever want to work for TFG, given the fact that everything he touches is completely destroyed. He'll be down to forced public defenders before this is all over, because no one with a brain would represent such a corrupt man who has no conscience or empathy whatsoever while he just throws his lawyers under the bus like cannon fodder.

“I’m withdrawing because of a conflict of interest. I have an interest in not going to jail for Donald Trump.”

[UncleEbenezer]

All Trump needs is 11, 780 days in prison.

[johnsterling]

Top Trump attorney says he quit because he didn't want to be a bottom in prison.

[pictureme]

Trump is the world's worst client to have for an attorney.

[atticuswalker]

Probably fighting over what was legal to do. And who would get blamed for doing it.

[deevalerie]

Parlatore should RUN & count his blessings! - Trump's Lawyers get 'thrown under a bus', or facing Indictments on the *Trump to prison pipeline.*

[dadduorp]

I’ve honestly lost track of how many attorneys Trump has or has had.

[_sillyeyes_]

He's losing lawyers almost as fast as he is losing supporters!

[KingAngelLife]

When will the rest of Trump’s defense team jump ship? If they were smart they all would jump holding hands today. Vote 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

[ultracapitalistutopia]

don't feel sorry for 45th, he doesn't deserve your sympathy

[etiennevachon]

Lock him up already!!! It's been years of daylight criminality, over and over. Lock him the F up!!!

[Bat_Boy]

“I’m innocent”
“I quit.”
I’m pretty sure how it went down.
