Trump Won’t Hire 2 Lawyers Whose Appointments Were Announced Days Ago

By MAGGIE HABERMAN, MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and MARK LANDLERMARCH 25, 2018

President Trump has decided not to hire two lawyers who were announced last week as new additions to his legal team, leaving him with a shrinking stable of lawyers as the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, enters an intense phase.

“The president is disappointed that conflicts prevent Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing from joining the president’s special counsel legal team,” Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, said in a statement on Sunday morning. “However, those conflicts do not prevent them from assisting the president in other legal matters. The president looks forward to working with them.”

The upheaval on the legal team comes at a critical time for Mr. Trump. The president’s former lead lawyer, John Dowd, quit the team on Thursday, just as Mr. Trump is deciding whether to sit with Mr. Mueller for an interview. At the moment, Mr. Sekulow is the president’s chief outside lawyer, as Mr. Trump’s longtime New York lawyer, Marc E. Kasowitz, remains on the periphery.

Waiting to hear how this is actually a brilliant move by Trump and his legal team, because they acknowledge their conflicts, but Mueller will not.

I think there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 325,000,000 million people who know Trump is judged by a different standard than Mueller, right?  Babies that don't know how to talk know that.

You know it is bad when even Dewey, Cheatum and Howe turn you down as a client.

It’s even worse when you can’t take the work, because your other client is a potential witness against the president for obstruction.

And Howe.  If I was a Lawyer he'd be the last person I'd ever want to work for.  I'm picturing phone calls at 2-3 AM demanding stuff on his desk by morning.  It would be worse than having a 12X loser wino or penny-ante burglar calling me all the time for bail.

Everybody gets to have a Lawyer, and it's a shrinking pool of available Lawyers.  He should have picked diGenova up sooner.

The revelation of the meeting was striking: It placed the president’s son and his top campaign officials in direct contact with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information on Mrs. Clinton, and an email to the president’s son emerged saying that the information was part of Russia’s effort to help the Trump campaign. The special counsel is investigating how those revelations were handled in real time in part because the president was involved in his administration’s response.

Some lawyers and witnesses who have sat in or been briefed on the interviews have puzzled over Mr. Mueller’s interest in the episode. Lying to federal investigators is a crime; lying to the news media is not. For that reason, some of Mr. Trump’s advisers argue that Mr. Mueller has no grounds to ask the president about the statement and say he should refuse to discuss it.

Bahaha.....that’s some defense.  Yeah, he’s a liar, but not the illegal kind.

So then, the true purpose of the Mueller investigation is to prove not that a crime was committed, but that Trump is a liar?  Is that the Prosecution?

No, the story goes to on to say how Corallo (the conflicting Toensing client) had information about the Trump Tower meeting and Hope Hicks had said during a conference call that internal communications about the meeting would ‘never get out.’
