I think that is an actual threat if he can't find an expert. The judge might assign someone if he can't find one himself just to avoid that.

Can you envision being on that candidate list for random selection? It's a form of career ending Russian roulette or watching the Vietnam draft on TV. People know if you're drafted it's not your fault, but being thrown into an impossible situation where just being involved might put you in jail like many of the lawyers who came before you into that role ...

Having your number come up would be really tough.

I think there's a huge personal risk to the lawyers too.

If Trump doesn't like how this lawyer is representing him, he can sic his angry mob on the lawyer.
