His key fund has spent nearly all of the more than $150 million it raised, and is sitting on less than $4 million, according to the latest numbers available. He’s already dug into his fund for 2024 ads, and borrowed money to post bail in Georgia. And some of his allies are begging for donations, saying he won’t pony up.

    You have to consider the scale of his indictments and the severity of the charges. Additionally, he’s one of the worst clients you could have as a lawyer since he never shuts the fuck up and is constantly incriminating himself. That, combined with famously never paying bills, creates a perfect storm where most competent firms won’t want to take your case. And those that do, are going to require that you pay enormous fees upfront due to all the reasons listed above and then some. Like, the dude was literally caught red handed in a couple of the cases (i.e. literally having dozens of highly classified documents in your bathroom). Proving his innocence is going to be very difficult, not to mention these cases are likely to be dragged out for years and years.

      Yeah sounds reasonable. Let’s hope that his lawyers aren’t worthy their money because for that sum I’d they should get all charges dropped against Cain for murdering Abel.

    • Ok he might be guilty af in multiple cases, but the question remains how do you spend 150 million on lawyers in three years? Either he’s getting fleeced or, more likely, he’s siphoning off most of the money

        how do you spend 150 million on lawyers in three years?

        You commit a fuckton of crimes. 91 criminal charges in four different courts. He committed crimes in Florida, Georgia, New York, and Washington D.C. Federal and State crimes, probably international crimes as well but we’re only getting started.
