JFC, can you imagine if this was Biden or Hillary?
It’s bullshit. He can’t get a good lawyer because he is a terrible client who won’t STFU or stop committing crimes

According to the paper, the team is split on whether their defense is to declare this a political witch hunt, or to focus on getting one MAGA juror.
He can always use the federal public defender's office.
There aren't too many public defenders who can be read in on the classified information, so no, not really.

Federal public defenders are fed employees and most likely have someone cleared to defend terrorism suspects. Now if Trump fires the public defender and has to rely on the court appointed private bar, well.....

How is it an "institutional norm?" How many former Presidents ran for office under such a massive and ongoing legal cloud?
Yoo is full of crap.
The institutional norms were that presidents were not by and large habitual criminals.
Nixon resigned, spending his last night in office praying with Billy Graham I believe. He kept quiet for a very long time afterward.
Clinton was impeached just once
Harding died before he could be implicated in the scandals within his administration
Johnson (Andrew) was impeached just once
U.S. Grant was never directly implicated in corruption involving his administration
Reagan was a potential target with Iran-Contra, but Ollie got all the attention and Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimers (and likely already affected by it while President) not long after
Trump has always been about "getting away with it" because he's a "star"
And none of them - Nixon, Clinton, Harding, etc came back to run again saying "hey you can't prosecute because I used to be President!" Not a one.
Sorry, Yoo. It is not an institutional norm. The right needs to stop fabricating utter bullshit to defend Trump.
“If you drop out of the race, Mr.Trump, things will go much better for you”

Nobody has said that. In fact, most pundits agree that the best way out for Trump is to become president and make these charges go away.
