It's funny to see capitalism actually help the world.

Bannon also faces a trial next May in New York related to state fraud, conspiracy and money-laundering charges that he bilked donors in a Mexican wall project, dubbed “We Build the Wall.”

Ok, red flag. Mexico paid for the wall, so Bannon is obviously innocent. Seeing as he needs a cheaper lawyer, I'll take the job at a huge discount (I'm not a lawyer, so I can charge a lot less cause I have no student loan payments to make). I'll argue the case for a flat fee of $10,000. I only commit to showing up once and anything after my silver-bullet argument is left for him to litigate, as I'm sure my perfect argument will win the case and more won't be needed.

Further, Lindell is fighting $2bn defamation lawsuits by electronic voting machine firms he has claimed helped rig the 2020 against Trump, which have cost him millions of dollars in legal fees owed to a Minneapolis law firm.

In October, the law firm formally asked a court to allow it to withdraw from representing Lindell in these cases, citing millions of dollars it was owed.

It must be embarrassing to represent such an asinine jackass, have video hit the internet and television, then get stiffed for doing so. Btw, I'm offering low rates for legal representation. I haven't found my silver-bullet for this case yet but, if paid, I certainly will. The rate will be higher because I need extra compensation to listen to a two-year-old bitch and complain for hours on end.

A court judgment has been issued against Bannon for the $480,000, which he is fighting with the help of lawyer Harlan Protass.

Harlan expects to get paid while arguing that Bannon's former counsel shouldn't get paid? He must be charging my super low rates.
