Yeah when your lawyers have to record you (believe it’s something from Cohen’s testimony) to have a backup of what you requested, you don’t get the best lawyers. Trump would never hire someone that seems smarter them himself, he has to be the most intelligent person in the room (lol). No one intelligent would really act dumb enough to be hired by someone who is notorious for not paying, mean unless there’s other factors but he’s not getting a highly regarded and clean lawyer at this point.
So the repeated (ad nauseum) Trump claim “I only hire the best people” isn’t accurate?
I’ll let the team over at Legal Eagle answer that one
If Trump could hire the best lawyers money could buy, he would.
Problem is he is either stiffed his previous lawyers, so the smart ones don’t trust him.
Or those lawyers are now witnesses in his legal battles. So they can’t represent him.

Anyone else have fun thinking about how fictional lawyers would represent Trump?
Like I could see someone like Lionel Hutz representing Trump. Maybe Barry Zuckercorn.
Not Bob Loblaw. I think Saul Goodman might pass on him. Kim Wexler I could see doing it probono.
It’s absolutely accurate, we just never asked by what metric “best” was being measured.
“Best” in this case was apparently “someone dumb enough to think Trump won’t screw them out of money.” :P
