Donald Trump's legal advisors reportedly implored him to drop his plans for a press conference on his Georgia voter fraud claims before he gets in trouble.
I think the lawyers feel the need to do this publicly, whether they’re sincere or not, to avoid any accusations of “he didn’t have a proper defense” or “how could they let him do that?!?!!”.
So they’re proclaiming -loudly- that “no btw we told him it was bad but he didn’t listen”…whether they actually care if he does it or not because they know what a shitshow this all is and that it won’t end well for anyone involved.
Your client flagrantly ignoring your advice repeatedly to their own detriment is grounds to stop representing them, I think. You can’t just throw up your hands once you agree to take a case but this might be good enough for a judge to let them do that. I don’t think it will work but it will be interesting to see how his legal team(s) handle what comes next.
