THE PRESIDENT IS A CITIZEN. HE MUST BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME RULES AND TREATMENT THAT WE THE PEOPLE MUST FOLLOW AND OBEY. PERIOD.

[ianreed]

Nobody else wants to get jailed, disbarred, fined or stiffed on payment like all the rest- Cohen, Eastman, Giuliani, Powell,

[berniesbend]

He's got the best lawyers Rick Scott could afford.

[ragingmonk]

He doesn't need better lawyers. I am perfectly content with the ones he has.

[JonR_]

Trump could have the best attorneys and his narcissistic attitude would still get him trouble.

[zzeeyib]

Long live senator Whitehouse my favorite senators of all senators.

[Gabriel-lliv]

They don't stop with the excuses.

[terryrollins]

Thoroughly enjoy hearing Lawrence ROAST tRump 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌

[mikeoxbig]

Trump’s lawyers really need a better client.

[batgurrl]

Of course Trump needs better lawyers but he’s gone thru dozens of them already and nobody wants to be on this losing team anymore. Senator Whitehouse is on point about Trumps predicaments

[YZW]

I'd like to see Rudy running that show. Donnie deserves lawyers that are on his level. Sounds like it's working out just fine.

[dannmarceau]

The Republicans are getting desperate, but Sununu emphasizes it.

[victoriadavis]

Any claims of ineffective council for relitigating are diminished and disputable by a decisive pattern of disregarding, discrediting and dismissing advice and council, [other than pleading ignorance, I mean the 5th about his own business taxes and 450 time} so far, that MO has already been established in congressional testimonies by White House Attorney's. In my opinion

[chacha]

It’s NOT better lawyer’s he needs..He needs to go to prison! Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!

[surfgator]

If he wasn't creating so many "predicaments"' he would have better lawyers!

[saint]

Even a bad lawyer can waste time & that's the main legal strategy.

[traildoggy]

Yeah. what a dream client... Trump can contradict himself between the beginning and end of a single sentence.
Then you don't get paid.
What quality law team wouldn't want to work with that???

[philgroves]

Maybe, Mr. Sununu, the former President (now a common citizen) shouldn't have perpetrated unprecedented crimes - like unprecedentedly stealing many, many boxes crammed full of government documents - many of which are HIGHLY CLASSIFIED! So, the way I see it, if you do unprecedented crime, prepare to be unprecedentedly searched, charged, and prosecuted. It's really that simple.

[TheRealOne]

No one wants too help him. He doesn’t pay anyone, there disbarred when dealing with him, they don’t want too help him trust that!!!

[HOPEat]

Here’s a thought…stop breaking the law!!!
