Itā€™s interesting that they have the same lawyer. I wonder if Burck is offering current and recent White House staffers a group discount? Maybe they saw the same Groupon?

A simple matter of physics. Only a finite number of lawyers can occupy the bottom of the barrel.

Itā€™s the so-called ā€œBetter call Sauli Exclusion Principleā€ (1)

(1) in case some folks donā€™t get the jeux de mot, the Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle which states that two or more identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state within a quantum system simultaneously.

If I were any of these clowns, I would not go halfsies on a lawyer with anyone else. Nope. And as a matter of fact, Burck might want to consider finding himself counsel in case of an unwaiveable conflict of interest between his clients.

Between investigations, lawyer fees, security and transportation costs for him and all of his spawn, donnie is the biggest, yuuuugest, most expensive mistake of a president in the history of the universe. Way to win, Trumpsters! Oh yeah, high fives all aroundā€¦.

Bill Palmer says that ā€˜same lawyerā€™ means McGahn and Priebs will turn on Trump without turning on each other.

Full disclosure. Bill seems to be more tea leaf reader than gumshoe reporter.

Having the same lawyers does mean that thereā€™s no perceived conflict between representing the two. Of course that might mean that both of them intend to go the omerta route, but it seems unlikely.

Thanks for the clarification. Would have sailed right over my head otherwise!
