Ty Cobb, and his replacement, Emmet Flood, are paid by taxpayers, not by Trump or his campaign. At least Emmet Flood won't have to worry about Trump refusing to pay the bill.
I heard that 20% of his campaign funds are going toward paying his lawyers.

How much do you think Giuliani is getting paid ? Jay Sekulow ?

Campaign funds have to be accounted for and they aren't secret documents.

Sad, but that is about right! Every time he says something nice they are either being fired, retired or quit.

Could you imagine if Trump represented himself before the SCOTUS and he won ?

The anti-Trumpers would be jumping off bridges and out of penthouse windows.
The splat attack. Last act of resistance.

He has a bunch of lawyers. A select 1 or 2 are official government employees and are part of WH staff. They might have titles such as White House Legal Counsel. They work in the WH and they have their own staff which are also government employees.

There are additional Trump attorneys which aren't part of WH staff and they aren't government employees. These attorneys are paid via Trump's campaign funds and/or any other means because taxpayers don't pay for those attorneys.

I'm surprised Flood agreed to represent trump. I believe he was asked last year and turned it down. Well, at least with the money coming from trump's re-election fund and all the morons still sending him their money, he knows he'll get paid.
It is my understanding that they are White House attorneys, not Trump's personal attorneys.

Sure, until the music stops and another person is left without a chair.

Changing lawyers like toilet paper isn't a good sign.

Well, presumably as a non-lawyer, he'd be as ignorant as you are of the fact that the Supreme Court does not permit pro se litigants (in other words, non-lawyers cannot represent themselves before the Supreme Court).

So much for your little fantasy, as sick as it was - and no, I'm not talking about the Trump part but rather that you fantasize about people who disagree with you politically killing themselves. That's about as sick as it gets.

Rudy Giuliani will be interviewed on Hannity tonight if you want an update on all these legal issues.
