I have a hard time understanding that Trump can engage top legal help considering how many people he has thrown under the bus.

The RNC, not Trump, is paying for Trump's defense in various cases so far, per public news reports.

I've wondered the same thing. Bill Barr auditioned to become Trump's AG after watching Trump destroy and humiliate Jeff Sessions. Not surprisingly, Barr came to a similar fate. The more talented and capable the Trump administrator, the more likely they were to be fired or resign in disgust. Trump trashes his loyal supporters when they are no longer useful. And yet there are always more willing to hire on. One thing that seems true - each generation of Trump hirelings is less talented and just plain dumber than those who came before. The last bunch included abject clowns like Sydney Powell and Rudy. The bottom of the barrel....

Barr certainly thought he'd be immune to such treatment, giving his exceedingly high opinion of himself and his ability to control his opponents, until tfg used him to clean up a spot in the office left by dear Jeff.

Excellent point. It takes real arrogance to think you are so special that Trump wonтАЩt squash you like a bug when you refuse to do his bidding, or heтАЩs done with you.

there's quite a bit of evidence to suggest that they are not all "top" legal help.... and at one point, if not still now, he was asking everyone he knew if they had a good attny to suggest. Good Heavens, he needs a huge army of them..

Law school applications are way up. Don't know if there is a correlation, but certainly an expectation that the demand for lawyers will only grow. If only tfg hadn't closed down his university.

Not if half or more lawyers are Republicans or their client base is the same base tfg excretes from. Which begs the question, do Republicans seek more legal advice then Democrats? Given that Republicans are the law and order party and, IMHO, Democrats are the justice for all party.
