How does DJT end up with such a disparate group of attorneys?

First, I would point out he has some great attorneys such as D. John Sauer repping him but how did a billionaire with as many lawsuits as he has been involved in end up with someone like Alina Habba who:

1. often answers the court with "sure"

2. has no clue how to enter a deposition into evidence and subsequently impeach the witness using that deposition

3. objects while sitting on her arse

4. does not grasp the concept of "for the truth of the matter asserted" in relation to a hearsay objection

These are all things you learn in the first month of a trial advocacy class or 3 or 4 episodes of Law and Order.

Does anyone have any novel insight besides the frick with OMB type of answers? I am honestly baffled by this. Her in-court performance in the Carroll case would get most 1 year associates summarily fired from a good firm.

Lawfare. Can you stand vs the government and not lose your livelihood?

Are you willing to sacrifice your life and family? They will come after you, even for BS charges.

This needs to end.

I don't think it's limited to attorneys nor limited to the more political era of his life.

It seems like his hired professionals have always fallen in a broad range between "well-respected" and "under indictment" and who can really say why. I think Trump, being a colorful character, is probably drawn to people of the same sort. I think he probably values personal allegiance above all else and isn't going to get that with Cravath, etc.

More recently, it's probably a completely different landscape.

Would someone from Perkins Coie provide him a better defense?

No one in his life was ever scrutinized legally like this until he decided to run for president as a republican and beat Hillary "HerTurn" Clinton

There is a good argument for that but it doesn't explain his inner circle guys like Cohen, etc. which predate it.

She’s a 10 in my book, whatever she says, I’d grant her immunity

Cohen had no real legal issues until Trump became POTUS. Who are you talking about?

She would be sanctioned for lack or decorum at 99.99% of the courts in the United States.

It makes lawyers look horrible.

These hacks just aren’t as good as keeping it all quiet as Roy Cohn was.

It does appear that the answer is Yes.

And if they could not, they would daylight murder the main witness.

And somehow win and profit from the litigation of both cases.
