'You ain’t going to get paid': Trump lawyer hit for pushing argument judge already nixed

Former President Donald Trump's attorney in his Georgia election racketeering case has vowed to keep pushing an argument slapped down by the judge Thursday.

Steve Sadow took to social media to share his response to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee's rejection of the Trump team's bid to toss the case on First Amendment grounds, ruling freedom of speech doesn't cover "criminal activity."

“[We] respectfully disagree with Judge McAfee’s order," Sadow said in his statement, "and will continue to evaluate [our] options regarding the First Amendment challenges."

Sadow then goes on to claim that challenge remains an option because McAfee's ruling was delivered without prejudice.

"It is significant," Sadow argued. "It made clear that defendants were not foreclosed from again raising their ‘as-applied challenges at the appropriate time."'

The election racketeering charges brought by District Attorney Fani Willis are tied to Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results upon his defeat to President Joe Biden.

Trump pleaded not guilty, as he has done in all four of the criminal court cases he faces.

Sadow's message was met with frustration by social media users who took umbrage with the lawyer referring to his client as "President Donald Trump" and an ongoing campaign of delay.

"If your client is so innocent, what’s his fear of a trial?" asked Carrie Carter. "….and he’s not the president."

"Why are you discussing this case on Twitter?" replied Dan Heitz. "Trying to engage with future jurors? The facts are in your favor or they are not."

"Trump's trash lawyer is basically celebrating that he wasn't sanctioned or barred from bringing this up at the correct time," argued @flounderMA.

"MAGA= Make Attorneys Get Attorneys," quipped @Uneekgal60. "You ain’t going to get paid by this criminal & crook either."
