"...legal bills paid in an effort to keep one's job would be tax deductable...but, of course, only to the extent of your income...no value when you're making $200k per year, but when you're making $10 million per year, well, he can write it all off....."

But he was paying legal bills in an effort to keep his $200K job, not his $10 million/yr job. Doesn't it matter when the fees were incurred?

I think you are right, although I am not a tax attorney. I think the issue is when they were incurred, not paid. Although they will find a way around this, I am sure.
