Apperently he just got out of jail or he’s running for office or something but a whole bunch of these pictures just started showing up from, what I assume, was some type of event in the last day or two.

That looks to me like a coincidence, surely? That act itself can’t have prompted her lawyers to no longer work for her? ---

From an [article](https://themessenger.com/politics/trump-georgia-trevian-kutti-codefendant-lawyers-notice-withdraw) linked in that one > “in order to have a good lawyer-client relationship, the client has to listen, the client has to be on board and you have to be paid.” > > “All these things have to happen,” Cohen added. “I’m not saying any of those things did or didn’t happen, but you can extrapolate.” If I were extrapolating, I’d guess that he warned her to stay away from anything like this (client has to listen), she probably argued or otherwise disagreed with him throughout the process (client has to be on board) and hasn’t paid her legal fees (have to be paid). I wonder if she treated him like a ‘fixer’ when he was just a defense lawyer and not in the business of actively cleaning up messes as they happened. Maybe she thought she was hiring a different Cohen. ---

And then Trump “clarified” that it was actually “Mein Kampf”, the friend that gave him the book said later that it was “My New Order” from Hitler. I will always think that Trump tried to clarify that it was Mein Kampf just to score points with his most liked followers… ---
