Does anyone expect he would say he was out of his depth but loves the publicity?

“I am definitely prepared. I can tell you that this case has nothing in complexity compared to the struggles between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines in Medieval Florence!”

Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book on Lincoln is titled A Team of Rivals.
I think her Trump book will be A Team of Rubes and Rubles.

When asked if he has the requisite experience to defend Trump in such an important case, he cited his 40 years of legal experience. “Just because you’re not a Beltway lawyer doesn’t mean you don’t know what you’re doing,” he told Reuters.

That’s true.
But not knowing what you’re doing does mean you don’t know what you are doing.

So, I’m not a lawyer… ain’t it a little odd to pick a guy who appears to be mostly a state prosecutor to assist you in a federal defense case?

I’m sure the medieval history part will come in handy, though. Feels like we’re back in the fucking dark ages.

He knows what he’s doing by-golly…He’s represented lots of gangsters involved in criminal racketeering cases before this. This should be no different just because its the Pissident of the United States.

Interesting that tRump agrees to pick a guy who defends mobsters. Says more about tRump than the lawyer in some ways. Also, I heard this guy has represented some case involving Jews for Jesus as one of his biggest cases. Sounds like Sekulow’s kinda guy.

Trump needed an attorney that would be able to comprehend what he suspects will be an animating issue of Mueller’s investigation. So, he hires someone specializing in criminal racketeering.

Makes sense.

Only the best people? Or just whoever is left over to take the job? I expect to hear speeches like “Now, I’m just a poor country lawyer…”

It’s really hilarious when people feel compelled to plead that they know what they are doing!

That must be that fame and fortune thing Trump was talking about.

Well, it makes more sense than a butcher applying for a job as an editor at a magazine. That happened, actually; I remember reading his application. He thought it would be interesting, he said. I think taking on this new challenge will be interesting for Ekonomou as well.
