Trump lawyer: Obeying his orders will get you 'sanctioned and disbarred'

Raw Story  

An unnamed lawyer working for former President Donald Trump has been spilling some dirt about his client to New York Magazine's Ankush Khardori -- and he says that obeying Trump's commands is a surefire way to end your legal career. “The ones who say ‘yes’ to everything, who will get sanctioned and get disbarred, who go to courts claiming election fraud that doesn’t exist, or who get put in a difficult position." Elsewhere in Khardori's article, he delved into the reasons that Trump hasn't been able to attract top-notch legal talent to defend him in the multiple legal probes he now faces. Trump currently faces a slew of legal problems, including a civil lawsuit over allegedly fraudulent business practices from New York Attorney General Letitia James; criminal charges related to his hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels; two different investigations into his efforts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden; and an investigation into his decision to stash top-secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
