So the repeated (ad nauseum) Trump claim "I only hire the best people" isn't accurate?
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
“They didn’t ask for payment up front.”
I'll let the team over at Legal Eagle answer that one
So, I must have followed a link to one of their videos at some point, because the YouTube algorithm spammed me their shit for months until I blocked it.
What kind of content is it? The thumbnails and titles looked rage baity
It's actually pretty decent legal oriented YouTube entertainment. He's a practicing lawyer that talks about current events and discusses possibly relevant laws or sometimes legal procedures. Sort of a more serious version of attorney tom.
It's pretty good. He definitely has a bias and I don't agree with him 100% of the time.
For example, he advocates that forced arbitration agreements isn't that bad. I don't agree with that at all.
But it's good content and high quality.
He's actually pretty good. I really enjoy some of his reviews of legal movies.
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.
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.
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.
