Trump lawyer Lin Wood, who spread false election conspiracies and tried to overturn the 2020 election, has agreed to permanent retirement from the practice rather than likely disbarment.

1) Lin Wood's history is a long, torturous one.

His parents were alcoholics who fought violently; one day his father won and Lin came home from high school and found his mother dead. He managed to get legal rep for his father, who got 2 yrs in prison. Thus began Wood's career arc of defending the "damned."

He used to be a Dem.; then he turned religious fanatic and Trumper. His became abusive to his firm's lawyers, who sued for back-pay; estranged family tried to help him.

2 of 3) Here is some interesting reading on the 2020 lawsuit brought against Wood when he finally went full-on mental breakdown and drove his law firm's partners out, then stiffed them. If you just want the most shocking details, start on page 28:

3 of 3) Wood's demented social media postings over the last few years of Trump-madness are now legend.

But you can just google him for yourself if interested in this legendary Southern Gothic "Attorney for the Damned." A few quick links: first is from 2006 with bio of his life; the second recounts Wood's flamboyant public fallout with Trump Team Coup in '22 because...OMG; third is audio of "the call."
