I guess Drew Findling was the person who made Trump cancel an event where he wanted to spout out more lies about the Georgia election and then told Trump "we can not put these lies onto a 100 page long paper and read in court either" even when you promise we will and so he had to go.
This is very good, because it means Findling was an actual lawyer who could have successfully defended Trump (or at least kept him of digging himself deeper and deeper) and now Trump is forced to go with someone who either doesen't care on being a reasonable lawyer or isn't one.
Just a reminder how everything the GOP tried against the election outcome in Georgia went so far:

Trumps problem is, all the people who "wisely" made the decision to not go forward in this direction and to hold him back are now gone.
no lawyer can defend him as there is to much actual evidence which is why trump wants to bring in bs for the court of public opinion and by that the opinion of his rabid base. He needs an attorney ready to turn the case into a circus and willing to get debared to do so.
I wonder what would happen if he got a regular boring lawyer. The kind that wouldn't do things to get disbarred afterwards.
This is why “yes-people” are so problematic.
I wanna know the faults of a plan. I wanna know where things will break. I wanna know … if I’m breaking the law.
