    It’s no wonder he declined to represent him for the classified documents case. He was already tired of him and planning to depart completely. Their conversation must’ve went really well…

    • My guess is that Trump insisted that Trusty do some things that are completely illegal and would threaten Trusty’s law license - at the very least. Given the indictment contents, Trusty (finally) realized what a liability being Trump’s lawyer is and decided to get out ASAP.

      Trump has always (at least since the 2020 election) had to rely on bottom of the barrel lawyers. From his inability to get a legal team together for the documents case, it sounds like even the bottom of the barrel lawyers are getting wise to the situation. The brief bit of fame from being “lawyer for Donald Trump” isn’t worth it if you can’t practice law anymore or, worse, wind up in prison!
