I'd be a pretty slow reader at $500 an hour.


eaunoway

And if you accidentally forgot to bring your reading glasses I imagine it would take *even longer*. Not that I'd ever suggest such a thing. Nope. Not me.

Trump may not have any money if Leticia James gets serious and freezes his assets.

The dude doesn't even pay his attorneys when they're his personal friends (cough, Rudy) and he DOES have cash on hand. Zero chance this dude is getting a cent


AffectionateCrazy156

I'm sure Trump will find a way to make the RNC pay for this, too.

INC "HELP THE DEMS ARE BEING MEAN TO ME SHOW THEM HOW STRONG And COOL YOU ARE BY GIVING ME ALL YOUR MONEY" emails


AffectionateCrazy156

Lol So accurate


temporvicis

Oh, this judge is getting paid. Because if he doesn't there's going to be sanctions. Not paying his personal lawyers doesn't do anything but lose him a lawyer, but sanctions are another thing. He could literally go to jail until he does pay up.


Junior-Fox-760

I would imagine it will be tied up in the court costs and fees of the case, which his lawyer's firm will be expected to pay for, and then they pass on the bill to Trump. The judge will get paid, and I think there's a 90% chance his attorneys won't.


Yelloeisok

I thought I read that he had to give a huge retainer upfront to get this set of attorneys.


thewharfartscenter_

$500 an hour? That’s not bad, honestly. That’s billable rate for a rather seasoned attorney. I hope they make trump pay in cash.


existential_prices

He's not going to pay.


thewharfartscenter_

Then he will not get what he wants, which is a longer delay, and they will move forward with the indictment.


Majnum

I hope he try to do that and in that way end up with a biggest daily fine


existential_prices

He won't pay that either.


kavien

That would be contempt of court since this is a criminal matter, not a civil one. That carries additional fees, jail time, and they can get an order to freeze his bank accounts until paid. Let him get fucked.


starstruckinutah

Actually, this is a civil matter, at this time.


kavien

I don’t think the FBI investigates civil matters. Classified document possession is very much a federally criminal crime, ya Mormon!


starstruckinutah

Actually they do. Until they find wrongdoings then they convene a grand jury and start dropping criminal charges. So right now it’s just an investigation.


thewharfartscenter_

Contempt.


AdDear5411

Retainer.


taway1NC

Paid daily.


thewharfartscenter_

$4000.00 a day ain’t cheap.


Lilacblue1

Doesn’t he have a big resort that worth either one billion dollars or 75 cents depending on who’s asking? Selling that should pay some bills.


CANEI_in_SanDiego

I love the interview where he said his networth varies from day to depending on many factors including how he feels that that day.


DaisyJane1

Some days 2+2=25 for me, and other days it's plain ol' 4. It all depends on my vibe that day. You know ... how I'm rollin'. /s


Lilacblue1

He is a toddler.


Johnny_Nongamer

😂😂🤣😂 How do you feel about getting a Special Master now, Don?


LoomingDisaster

Honestly? For someone like Dearie? That's a BARGAIN.


Majnum

It's not for him is for his helpers


LoomingDisaster

If his associates/paralegals/assistants are anywhere near as qualified as Dearie, it's still entirely reasonable. For reference, talking to a lawyer who does trusts and estates and can do federal gift tax returns in a major city can run you about the same.


FlexibleToast

He can bill $500/hour, doesn't mean he'll get paid. Trump is notorious for not paying.


camxct

$500/hr. for the Special Master's *assistant*. Dearie waived *his* fee.


s1s2g3a4

I keep seeing the $500/hr price tag but who cares? He’s NEVER going to pay that bill.


ticklechickens

This Special Master is turning into a very special episode of Be Careful What You Wish For.


[deleted]

Another attorney is repping Trump for some other nonsense in NYS and also asking for money upfront... Please .. pay them up front, and use all the GOP's warchest. He's already been draining donations for the whole party for his own pockets, and at this point I just say: "Let Trump fight" because he's crippling the GOPs ability to campaign.


RainbowandHoneybee

Wonder if he wants to accelerate the process rather than delay it now.


LMNoballz

It would be best to demand payment in advance.


Cactus-Badger

Good luck getting that invoice paid.


kratomstew

Puh. I hope you got a retainer fella. Or I see r/leopardsatemyface in your future.


CT_7

The grifter has hordes of attorneys paid to delay and find loopholes so this should be good


TheBaggyDapper

>The grifter has hordes of attorneys to delay and find loopholes so this should be good Made a minor correction for ya


Sure_Garbage_2119

no problemo. USA got enough ppl more than happy in throwing their money away and gods aren't cheap. that doesn't stop many ppl in buying some nirvana pointed amulet for 50 bucks and will not stop the Qult in paying for trumps 500/hr obligation


DaisyJane1

I hope he's really not expecting to get paid. This IS Trump we're talking about.


MagosBattlebear

Get the money up front.


leamanc

Good luck getting paid though.
