Trump infighting risks rise as allies face legal bills, cash crunch
The multiplying charges brought against allies of former President Trump and their mounting legal fees are creating consternation in Trump world — while presenting a real risk to the former preside…
Trump's biggest lie was always that he was so rich that he'd never have to take money from anyone for his campaigns.
44Claiming anything is trumps biggest lie is a bold claim. It’s like someone could always make the case for a bigger lie.
6It is a bit like reading every Superman comic since 1939 and trying to come up with the single greatest feat.
A lot of people will go with taking the oath of office in 2016, but he also swore on a Bible to love and honor all three of the wives he cheated on.

The one and only reason the legal bills are very high, is because these douche bags are pleading not guilty for a crime they obviously committed, so no sympathy here.
26Not really. ANY legal defense is expensive as f*ck, which is why public defenders even exist: to give the poors the impression that they might be as protected as the rich under the law. Spoilers: they aren't. Not the least of which, SLAPP suits.

How the fuck do you even consider working for Donald Trump at this point?
He almost never pays his employees. Virtually every member of his inner circle, and many of their associates have ended up facing some form of federal charges or are under some kind of investigation. Multiple attorneys have ended up sanctioned and in a couple of cases I believe disbarred. Extremely well-off people like Rudy Giuliani have ended up penniless and facing a mountain of legal debt. Many have ended up in jail. Others have reported having their careers completely ruined because reputable employers won't go near them. Nobody has worked with Trump and walked away better for it. They've almost all had their lives irreparably ruined.
How the fuck do you possibly look at what happens to anyone associated with Trump and say "Yeah, I think I wanna hitch my wagon to that."
21He is charming to a very particular demographic. He is also, without a doubt, the most successful conman in history.
The first skill a conman learns is building confidence in his target that his way is the right way -- perhaps the only way -- to get something done.

Fuck that word salad reading headline
13i hope they tear each other to pieces ~ despicable, every one
10Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.
8That’s right, and I hope it keeps happening to them seeing as they are such nice and freedom-loving patriots. They really deserve the love and attention by law enforcement. And here’s hoping that they continue to enjoy the love and attention they deserve in prison.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Trump has burned through millions of dollars in donor money to pay for legal fees as he defends himself against charges in New York City, Florida, Georgia and Washington, D.C.
In other cases, Trump has provided attorneys or covered bills for those swept up in the investigations, including in the Mar-a-Lago probe where special counsel Jack Smith’s team spoke with numerous employees who work at the property.
That now includes covering the legal bills of Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who are accused of helping Trump obstruct justice by moving boxes of classified documents and later conspiring to delete security camera footage from the property.
Ellis, attorney John Eastman and former Justice Department official Jeff Clark have launched crowdfunding pages where they are collecting donations for what is described as their respective legal defense funds.
Beyond the two criminal cases tied to Jan. 6, he’s also facing three defamation suits related to comments he made while seeking to help Trump unwind the 2020 results — two from voting equipment companies and another from a mother-daughter duo serving as election workers in Georgia.
“These are a lot of bills that he’s not paying,” Giuliani’s attorney Adam Katz told a New York state court earlier this month in a defamation suit brought by voting equipment company Smartmatic.

7“He has no legal obligation to pay anybody’s fees. Moral? Perhaps,” said Tim Parlatore
And we all know how high Trump scores on "Moral" issues.
