Discussion: House Dems Beef Up Legal Teams For Various And Wide-Ranging Trump Probes

Right, so if anything happens at DOJ to slow down or stop Mueller’s investigations, guess where his staffers will be headed next. One thing I don’t know (well, there are lots of things I don’t know) is the source of funding for these extra staffers. I am assuming that it comes from allocations that aren’t subject to interference from POTUS or the Senate.

From one of the job listings:

Previous congressional or executive branch experience preferred, but candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to apply. Candidates must have attention to detail, excellent writing skills, excel under pressure and have a sense of humor.

Do you think they would be interested in a retired Botanist?

All of those attorneys who won’t consider working with the WH legal staff may find themselves available for this.

A sort of ramrod! How quaintly charming. I’d have thought there’d be a 3-D printer in the breech that would just print the shells or something.

I would bet that they get flooded with resumes and applications such that they won’t have to hold a job fair, like the current administration did to get applicants.

I’ll go out on a limb here and state that the Dems in congress are gonna have a helluva an easier time finding excellent attorneys than the WH and its current resident. :laughing:

Yup! :joy:

It’s exciting to think we’re less than a week away from Dem control of the House but I cant shake the feeling that Fat Nixon and his gang that couldn’t shoot straight are going to try to pull off a hail-mary move to distract from or obstruct the investigation. Emmett Flood is still on the payroll and he’s got to have some feces ready to throw into the fan, unless, like Mariano Rivera he’s just there for the final few outs for team treason.

Not getting my hopes up that this will be a linear path to retaking the country.

Team Treason ! I love it. I hope that covers the Chump circle and spreads to be the new name for all republicans

But they did say “candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to apply. Candidates must have attention to detail, excellent writing skills, excel under pressure and have a sense of humor.” I would be laughing my ass off at everything that was being sent over to the WH. I know, get in line and it is going to be a long one.

Even more to investigate. And now with Extra Crazy. Part of the “sealed subpoena” the courts are working around may involve a “nude selfie”. Keep it sealed, no one wants to see the Emperor with No Clothes…
