Trump's legal team consists of three people: an appellate lawyer who handles narrow First Amendment establishment clause cases; a contract prosecutor with a PhD in medieval history; and a former biglaw white collar guy who represents the interests of the presidency as an office and despises Trump.

If you think the number of firms that have rejected him is less than 3 dozen, you are retarded. Of course, that information isn't all public, so you can defend Trump by demanding specific names and crying "fake news"

You're basing your conclusions about how lawyers see Trump on comments that were made when the legal issues only involved Trump himself. This raid is could be precedent-setting and potentially implicates the professional relationship between attorneys and their clients. Sorry if you don't see that.

so you're arguing in this subthread that Trump will have no trouble at all finding a top lawyer (let's ignore that every lawyer not named Bob Loblaw has taken a hard pass), then are arguing below that someone will take it pro bono?

not to mention your total disclaimer to me below that "now imagine the lawyer reps Cohen"?

do you have any idea how real life works?

No one is suggesting that faggot. The issue is whether Cohen's involvement in certain crimes gives DOJ the authority to obtain a/c communications with a client regarding unrelated matters. Presumably DOJ now has Trump/Russia-related shit from Cohen, even though the raid had no apparent connection to the Russia investigation.

Trump is a toxic client because he doesn't listen to his attorneys, behaves like a buffoon, and demands that his attorneys act like clownish spokespeople. The issues of ACP as they relate to yesterday's search warrants don't hold a candle to the interesting legal/constitutional debates surrounding the Mueller investigation (can the President be indicted; even if there is collusion, what federal statutes would such conduct violate; how do we define obstruction of justice when the President claims he is merely exercising his authority; does executive privilege apply to certain requests for documents; etc.)

Under normal circumstances every big attorney would love to litigate this stuff. It's not a question of whether there are fascinating and important legal issues involved here. It's just Trump.
