I wouldn’t have to doubt their whole identity. They can still be lawyers, but they could be lawyers who are bullshitting. They very well be torching their credibility with some but bolstering with others.

The possibility is there that they’re lying since it’s unverifiable the stories they’re telling. Some, like me, may be skeptical as a result and thus they lose some credibility. Others hear that story that aligns with their worldview and thinks “man these lawyers really know what they’re talking about” and choose to believe regardless.

People lie. People lie time for no good reason. Some people are pathological. Some get off by lying. Some make money from lying. Liars host podcasts and tv shows and news stations and hold office all the time. You can’t say that just because he has a podcast that he must be telling the truth.
