Of all the indictments former president Donald Trump is facing, the Georgia one is pretty unique. Sure, it’s a state case that Trump, even if he wins the presidency in 2024, can’t pardon himself out of, but there are also the co-defendants. So. Many. Co-defendants. Eighteen, to be precise. And a healthy chunk of them are attorneys.
So let’s judge them — not just for their legal acumen, or lack thereof, but on how photogenic they are. Now, not all of the former president’s co-defendants — or even Trump himself — have turned themselves in and gotten their mug snapped for posterity. But let’s take a look at the attorneys that have turned themselves in so far.
