Trump always did say he was smarter than his lawyers, so he probably tells them what HE wants them to say in their briefs and motions.

But as long as they're getting paid a thousand dollars an hour, no skin off their nose.

Trump is a low bar client.

"He doesn't pay."

Certainly not with his own money.

What do you think all those fundraisers are for? I know it's hard to believe but Trump still has a couple wealthy supporters who think they're going to cash in when he gets elected. Koch Industries, for example, is still paying him big time because they think he going to get rid of the EPA. Koch and their pulp mills are the third largest polluter in the U.S. They've been paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines every year.

It ain't a whole lot but the couple million or so a month he rakes in keeps the wolf away from the door ~ at least moment by moment.

Dark days are ahead for Trump if he loses this election.
