Long-term victories for whom? Certainly not the client. You would have a criminal defendant whose life and/or liberty hang in the balance being represented by someone who may not have his best interest in mind. That violates the Sixth Amendment. It would likely support an IEAC claim under Strickland.

Those two guys can go fuck themselves.
