12. To me, that smells like Trump's spin.

It was contradicted in the article:
“Mr. Weisselberg’s decision to change lawyers was entirely his own, a decision which I understand Mr. Weisselberg made in consultation with his family after the conclusion of the trial.”

I cannot find (doesn't mean there are not any) cases where Clayman & Rosenberg represented Trump.
Clayman comment on Cohen's place being raided. They defended AG Sniderman who faced sex assault charges. Sniderman sued Trump University. I haven't found a relationship between Trump and Clayman & Rosenberg.

As I mentioned in a recent post: as Weisselberg is completing his prison time after pleading guilty to 15 crimes, regardless of who is paying, why does Weisselberg still need a white collar criminal defense lawyer? So he's still under pressure with criminal liability.

Is Weisselberg not in some danger like Epstein? That might be part or all of the reason why he's in a contagious disease section of Rikers. So he wants to rely on a Trump paid lawyer to not reveal his location when he gets out of prison? If he does, he's pretty stupid. He has to see a pattern - nearly everyone under Trump is winding up with criminal convictions and he could wind up like Epstein.
