If you were a lawyer, your ideal client would pay you promptly and follow your advice, right?
But suppose, you took on a client who wouldn't follow your advice but still paid promptly. Well, it would be irritating to have such a client who pays but doesn't take advice, but as long as you had a good paper trail of the fact that your advice wasn't being followed, you could potentially represent that person, right?
On the other hand, if someone followed your advice but did not pay promptly, you'd probably figure out your “client” was using you for free legal work and you'd quit doing business with him, right?
Meet, Donald Trump. He won't pay for what he regards as bad legal advice (shoddy workmanship has been his most basic excuse in more than 3,500 lawsuits from vendors and contractors); and because he believes you give bad legal advice; he doesn't pay you.
Unfortunately…
As long as the Republican National Committee pays The Donald’s legal bills, a long line of not especially good attorneys1 stand ready to do his bidding2, which most legal experts have found wanting3.
And it may cost them.4 It likely won’t help Trump much either.5
