Washington DC has the highest number of lawyers per capita in the country. I practiced there for 11 years. At that time, one in ten adults in the District were lawyers. Trump canāt seem to find a one single decent lawyer in the place.
The strategy planned by these borderline attorneys is for one audience, what Peter Baker from the NYT yesterday called the United Base of America. More to the point, Iāve said here before that the best fight with Trump, from the peopleās point of view, is a fight over a subpoena. Rudy must have slept through Watergate and Whitewater. US v Nixon is āsettled lawā; Bill Clinton was not immune to a proper subpoena. If āIām the presidentā is his position, that has already been litigated and lost.
At the end of the day, we will have an answer to the Rule of Law question about Trump: will he obey an order of the federal courts? There is absolutely no reason to assume that this case would automatically end up before the Supreme Court.
