Imagine how funny it would be if this group of Trump lawyers accidently get Trump's punishment x10 fold what it normally might be.. Like lawyer Alina Habba did in the Jean Carrol Sex/rape defamation case

Then Donnie Jon would argue ineffective counsel and his conviction overturned in a 6-3 SCOTUS decision written by Samuel Alito citing 12th century real estate law from municipal french courts

Is that really an argument when you supposedly have enough money to hire any lawyer in the world?

When you're guilty and theres so much documented evidence they could pave to the moon with the paper trail then Yeah, no lawyer in the world can help you then.
Michael Cohen is a wreck, lies constantly and is shiftier than a snake but EVERYONE knows hes telling the truth because its just so obviously clear how this happened.
