Grifters gotta grift.

Welfare queens and bloodsucking hyenas.

Hmmm, really? that’s a losing cause.

is there any way to send dildos and lube to a web page?

So instead of a cut for 1/3 in legal fees, they’ll take the whole pot. Got it. A GoFundMe type account for lawyers now. Why not just give Bundy a fucking public defender if he can’t afford this jerk?

It would be considered a gift in kind. LOL

I wonder when Bundy will roll over on his friends. Unless he already has gotten the finger as Random Redneck #4 isn’t as good a prize as he is.

ncsteve · January 28, 2016, 9:21pm

Really aren’t any attorneys who defend criminal cases on a contingent fee basis. Not a tenable business model.

meri · January 28, 2016, 9:22pm

What, they can’t find a True Believer?

ncsteve · January 28, 2016, 9:23pm

Huh. So not going with a sovereign citizen “constitutional consultant” who files big pleadings full of gibberish that he assures you will result in magical outcomes on this one Ammon?

avattoir · January 28, 2016, 9:34pm

And, of course, nobody could have etc.

Time to clear out the old barn to make space for more foster kids.

srfromgr · January 28, 2016, 9:37pm

I’ll take your word for it. Actually, that makes sense.

Seriously though, I thought about that after I had posted, but wasn’t quite sure. My dad was a lawyer, but we didn’t talk shop at home unless he was bitching about a certain judge he disliked. He did criminal law when he started but spent most of his later life in civil law.

Between the NRA and these guys they want to bleed the wingnuts dry. Poor guys are already living on cat food.

jeffrey · January 28, 2016, 9:40pm

This sounds like a job for Anonymous!

voreason · January 28, 2016, 9:41pm

How do we contribute to the Bundy Prosecution Fund?

ncsteve · January 28, 2016, 9:43pm

Paid private criminal work for rich defendants is usually done either for a single big flat fee, especially for major felonies, or by the hour. When indigent criminal defense work is done by private attorneys for the state, as is the case in many places, its done hourly, though at a ridiculously low rate and often with long waits for payment in some states. Only civil tort claims for plaintiffs are done on a contingent fee basis. Very occasionally, a breach of contract case might be handled on a contingent fee basis, but contract cases big enough to be taken on a contingent fee basis usually have plaintiffs who’d much rather pay by the hour.

because rugged individualists and people accepting personal responsibility means getting someone else to pay your bills when the land grab goes bad?

dsinlp · January 28, 2016, 9:53pm

Daddy Cliven should pony up the $1M he’s saved in grazing fees.
