Multiple legal experts are out there sounding the alarm bells for any attorney in this country about the dangers. And of course, as they put it, the hellish price, you will have to pay if you want to take on Donald Trump as your client. Now, there's a lot of lawyers in this country, and I know because I work with lawyers every single day, and I have for 18 and a half years, there's plenty of lawyers who just want to kind of, we're gonna do our little auto accident cases or things like that we're, we don't want to be the big face. We don't want to go out there and be in the headlines. We just want to help average people get better. But there's also plenty of lawyers who want to take on that big client, right, to have that on their roster to be the next Johnny Cochran.

And that's why Trump as a client, is so appealing to some of these defense attorneys out there. They look at this as, wow, if I can pull off a victory with this guy, I'm gonna be in the headlines. I'm gonna be on TV like Alina Haba, things will be great for me. Right? Well, that's the part that these legal experts are out there warning about. Like, no, ignore the glitz, ignore the glamor, ignore the TV hits, because it all comes with a hellish price. Let me read this. This is from Chicago trial lawyers, Sean Collins, who said, uh, it's a hellish price to be paid for indulging Trump's desire to base his lawsuits on fact free tabloid style theories. Collins then predicted that lawyers will quote, think twice about it, out of a sense of financial self-preservation, if not professionalism and decency. Now, professionalism, look, everybody is entitled to a legal defense. So Donald Trump is going to have lawyers. So that is the professional thing to do, is to represent the guy out of a sense of moral decency. However, you can look him in the face and say, get the hell out of my office. I'm not going to represent you. So what is the hellish price, though, right? Well, regular viewers already know what that hellish price is. The hellish price is sanctions. The hellish price is investigations into your practices. And for many Trump attorneys, the hellish price is losing your law license.

If you think things end well, for any Trump attorney out there, ask Michael Cohen, ask Rudy Giuliani ask John Eastman, who just a couple days ago was hit with 11 different charges all related to his representation of Trump by the California State Bar. So he's probably gonna lose his legal license in California, which is going to absolutely destroy his career. Giuliani has already lost his license in dc, might lose it in New York, could face even more disciplinary action. Lin Wood, Sidney Powell been sanctioned by judges in Michigan for filing these

Election, election challenge lawsuits. Alina Haba just sanctioned down here in the state of Florida. Judge Arthur Gerran up in New York threatening to sanction her there. Do you see a pattern here? None of these people are getting their happy ending. None of these people are making headlines for good things. They're not out there saying, we won folks, look at me. I'm a great lawyer. Hire me. Call me. Now. That's not what's happening. The lawyers are having to get their own lawyers, and that is the hellish price you will have to pay most likely. If you want to take on Donald Trump as a client, it's your choice. Lawyers, you can do whatever the hell you want. But I advise you to take the advice of these other lawyers smarter than you. And if you're not gonna take their advice, then at least look at the warnings from all of the other lawyers that have paid that hellish price because they decided to take Trump on as a client. Ask them if it was worth it. And I think I know what they're gonna tell you.
