      In the world of politics, a tale unfolds,
      Of lawyers and presidents, their stories told.
      But in the land of Trump, things went astray,
      With lawyers facing challenges every day.
      First came Cohen, loyal and brave,
      But soon found himself in a legal maze.
      Stormy Daniels, hush money affair,
      Cohen struggled, caught in despair.
      Giuliani followed, with hair so grand,
      But his legal tactics didn't go as planned.
      In the courtroom drama, he often stumbled,
      With each misstep, Trump's case crumbled.
      Jay Sekulow, with his legal might,
      Tried to steer Trump's ship through the night.
      But the waters were rough, the storms severe,
      Trump's lawyers facing obstacles clear.
      Barr stepped in, with promises grand,
      But even he couldn't save Trump's brand.
      Lawsuits, scandals, and investigations galore,
      Trump's lawyers fought, but still, they bore.
      In the end, the story remains,
      Of lawyers entangled in political chains.
      With Trump at the helm, they struggled anew,
      In a legal battle they couldn't quite subdue.
      So here ends the tale of Trump's legal strife,
      A turbulent journey, a rollercoaster life.
      With lawyers who tried, but couldn't quite mend,
      The messes created by their president friend.

Dershowitz for example used to be well respected, but he essentially began pimping himself out to the far right and gets a lot of money from right wing groups.

      I think that might be Trump trying to play to his base. He tells them he was denied a jury, his base aren't going to care about things like "truth" or "rule of law." They'll just believe him that it's a show trial. Best case, he's hoping his base will keep giving him money, worst case he's hoping for another coupe attempt to save him from this "injustice."

      If you have different business interests in different states you easily can end up with a lot of them, because a property expert in New Mexico doesn't help you if you also need an expert for employee rights in South Dakota, and an expert for oil drilling licenses in Alaska. Its just that at some point you either hire one of the big legal firms which have all the experts you need where you need them, or you start a legal department at the company you own - but the big legal firms no longer want to be associated with Trump, and since Trump's personal, political, and business affairs are so intermixed most of the lawyers of the Trump organisation or political campaign are also his personal lawyers.

      Back in the 1990's a lawyer from one of those big firms managed to get into trump's office to demand payment. trump pulled out a picture of a thoroughbred stallion that he said was worth $5 million, and offered the horse in payment. This offer was rejected, the firm in question filed a lawsuit, and trump eventually coughed up partial payment. But word got around the legal community, and after that no firm would work for him unless he handed over a huge retainer first. And since he was impossible to work for, fewer and fewer firms would even pick up the phone to listen to him. That's why there are no S-tier lawyers: they want nothing to do with him, as you pointed out.
