Hahahaha! AhhhhhhhhHahahahahahaha! Does anyone think it’s NOT because Trump’s check bounced and he refused to pay what they agreed?
More likely he realized that Donnie is likely to do something that will get him disbarred.
I think it's because Joe thinks sanctions or worse are an imminent possibility, and he doesn't want to throw away his career (any more than he has) on Trump's bullshit.
Probably because trump went off on a rant during closing arguments after his lawyers and the judge toldbhin not to.
Yeah having a client who can't keep his fucking mouth shut in the courtroom, and has their fan-club threaten members of the judicial, etc isn't a great thing
It could also be because he has basic pattern recognition and saw how many of Trumps former lawyers are being convicted of serious crimes.
It could be that he finally found a lawyer who wouldn't break the law for him?
Based on the actual article it sounds like they disagreed in whether Trump should make the closing arguments.
