That may be. But how relevant is that in this day and age?
We have a man here in the USA, a former president, who is about
to be put on trial for "high crimes and misdemeanors", which
if conviced may mean the end of his political career. And what
has he done? He fired all five of his lawyers, just before the
trial is to begin. So who did he hire? Himself! You think I am
making this up? I do admit to have somewhat of an overactive
imagination at times, but this is something else!

Trump to Defend Self After Receiving Law Degree from Trump University

PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump will act as his own
defense attorney at his impeachment trial after receiving a law degree
from Trump University.

Trump bestowed the degree upon himself in his capacity as the dean of
the Trump University School of Law, where he graduated first in his
class.

In his first official statement as the lead attorney of his defense
team, Trump vowed not to quit the team “like those other losers.”

Davis Logsdon, a law professor at the University of Minnesota, called
Trump’s new status as his own attorney “problematic.”

“It’s true that he will now have a fool for a client, but that was
also true of his other attorneys,” Logsdon said. “One downside of
working for himself, however, is that he definitely will not get paid.”
