Legal experts panned Donald Trump on Wednesday for having the "worst lawyers" and explained why even the best attorneys in the land may be unable to save the former president from his legal woes.
Legal and political experts weighed in on Wednesday after the Department of Justice deployed a "legal battering ram" in a 36-page late-night court filing with 18-pages of exhibits.
Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal tweeted, "If this were any normal client, and any normal lawyer, we'd be talking about a plea today."
Former federal prosecutor Mitchell Epner, using the acronym "FPOTUS" for "former president of the United States" as DOJ lawyers did, suggested that Trump's legal team may be irrelevant to his defense.
"The highly respected attorney FPOTUS hired yesterday (Christopher Kise) didn't stop him from [posting] damning admissions earlier today [on Truth Social] in response to the DOJ filing," Epner wrote.
"Even if FPOTUS had the best lawyers in the world, they can't protect him from himself," Epner explained.
Attorney Teri Kanefield suggested that Trump's lawyers not only can't protect him, but can only get themselves in trouble.
"Trump hires lawyers to do his bidding (not give him legal advice) and this tends to get his lawyers into trouble," Kanefield wrote.
Tristan Snell, who prosecuted Trump University at the New York Attorney General's Office, wrote, "At this point, any lawyer who works with Trump is fully aware of the risks and should know they’re risking disbarment — if not indictment."
"Trump's lawyers always end up needing lawyers," he added.
