And weâre paying for it, right? Donald doesnât pay for anything he doesnât think he should pay for.
Doesnât matter how many he hires if he doesnât listen to them.
As someone said yesterday, itâs lawyers all the way down. Nice to know heâs used to representing crooked politicians.
Indirectly I suppose. Taxpayers paying for Mar A Lago visits which is then supposedly used to pay lawyers. Supposedly because Trump doesnât actually pay bills.
Edit: Trump will have to pay Dowd. Heâs a solo practitioner and unlikely inclined to write off.
Kasowitz tells White House staffers not to get lawyers, then MANGOTUS lawyers up. Hint to staffers: You are being set up and might, just might, go to the Special Counsel now while you can.
Too bad Johnny Cochran is dead and no longer available. I can here the closing argument now:
âIf the Presidentâs a TWIT, you must Acquit!â
A Trump trial would be the biggest thing since Nuremberg.
Heâd bring all his dignity to the affairâŚ
O.T. But, Nevada, you need to think about getting a new, Democratic Gov.
Thereâs always Bruce Cutler.
From my perspective hiring Dowd is very disappointing. I was rather enjoying the parade of pompous, narcissistic incompetents.
Thatâs why all the A-list DC attorneys are clamoring to join the team â Muellerâs.
What kind of reputation does Dowd have?
@tiowally Youâd think that the first rule from any serious attorney would be to stop tweeting about the case.
(ETA after a bit of research) Not-so Stellar. Thatâs why Still Iâll be surprised if he stays very long.
Bit more information about him in NYT
Probably got a payment upfront.
Dowdâs record for getting off high profile âoffendersâ is not sterling, as Rachel Maddow pointed out last night. John McCain escaped Senate discipline because his Keating Five peccadilloes occurred when he was a Congressman. Maybe Trump would be be better off with Richard Fish.
Why not Dershowitz? Sure seems like Dersh wants the job.
Bummer. And the lege only meets every other year.
Imagine Trumpâs disappointment when he learned that Arthur Branch had died. He hasnât given up though - hopes to persuade Jack McCoy to come out of retirement.
Donald Trump - bringing jobs back to America, with one lawsuit after another.
And I had thought the legal profession was deadâŚ
Dowd represented Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on the congressional ethics charges in the âKeating Fiveâ probe.
I always thought that it was spelled the âCheating Five.â
