I thought the allusion was fairly obvious, but yes.

Yeah, “it’s just the right wingers”…uh huh…suuuure…
The knives are out. Biden embarrassed an entire generation of reporters by taking away their toy and forcing the history books to finally show them for the clowns they were and are for having supported and encouraged and rationalized the entire Afghanistan debacle. They are going to destroy him if it’s the last thing they do and will not care what damage it does to this country.

What money? After getting fired for stealing from Rittenhouse’s defense fund, it’s not at all clear that he had any source of income, either grift or legit. Pierce is a low-rent wannabe nobody.

Pierce, a conservative hardliner, railed against masks and the COVID-19 vaccine on Twitter earlier this year.
“This whole thing is just beyond ridiculous at this point. Take your mask off and live your life,” the lawyer tweeted last month. “We are Americans.”

Huh. Between that and the phone you have to put on the whiteboard that he might just be dodging his creditors.

I assumed there was some kind of insurrectionist defense fund set up but, if not, he is probably bailing because there are no good grifting opportunities there.

I’m not sure if you are just poking fun at Pierce, but I’ll reply on the chance that you are not.
It’s been suggested that defendant’s might raise some sort of “public authority” defense. That defense might apply to a “class” of defendants," but would have to be raised separately in each trial.
But… putting all your eggs in that basket would be, in my view, malpractice. The government has the burden of proving criminal conduct as to each defendant separately. (Or that each defendant is part of the conspiracy, if that is charged.) That proof has to be tested.
Given the chaotic nature of the events and the collage-like nature of the video proof, the defense attorney has to carefully evaluate and challenge the government’s proof of each individual defendant’s conduct. That’s a lot of work, but not doing it is virtually conceding factual guilt and hanging everything on the affirmative defense. Again, probably malpractice.

“So for a one man lawyering outfit is 17 clients a tad too many clients? I mean it’s not like they’re all in one state, so their hearings are not being held in one location, right?
How long before a judge declares that Pierce’s clients are not being represented?”
It’s all part of the “lack of vigorous defense” strategy to ready client for appeal.

To be accurate, this development probably has no effect on the quality of representation the defendants were gettng. That may even improve as a result.
