I can only assume you&#x27;re trolling, or an incredibly obsequious shill for federal power.<p>The only time an attorney will defend you without both a retainer and on-time payments is when your particular case is high enough profile to make pro-bono work worth it in terms of publicity. Your odds of this circumstance are less than one percent.<p>Federal prosecutors have extremely high conviction( or rather, plea )rates because they live and breathe by the extraordinarily asymmetrical power wielded over their victims. That you defend this asymmetry is sickening.<p>Ironically, with this case making the WaPo, she will likely find easy pro-bono work now. That vast majority of us? Probably not.
