    Well, if Trump treats his lawyers the way he has always treated his investors, he is already scheming to screw them out of their fees.

    OMG, you are right. Did he have his lawyer on NO TALK about anything concerning Trump ever, before or after? Will it stick?

    Scooter and Martha did jail time. What's morally right about that. Mike Flynn had to sell his house to pay legal fees for "lieing" to Peter Strozk who knew exactly what Flynn said from the Krysliak recordings. Why was the FBI asking him about what they already knew ?? That's entrapment. What's morally right about that ??

    It means that they graduated from one of the worst law schools in the country.

    No, they just happen to be ranked the worst law school in the country.

    And there it is - asking a question is proof of racism because of some manufactured post modern liberal outrage. Too funny.

    diGenova has the profile of a Mafia consigliere .... Trump must have made him an offer he cannot refuse...

    I guess that's a question even though you ended it with a period.
    ANSWER: you think people should not pay a penalty for perjury?


    WHOA! Is that how Flynn spelled "lying"? You put it in quotes so it must be a quote of some ignoramus who flunked spelling in elementary school. Was it Flynn himself?


    It's perfectly moral.

    These "best/worst lists" typically rank based on SAT acceptance, percentage of 1st year employment, stuff like that.

    But what does such a list show us other than garbage in garbage out?

    It could be a shitty school for all I know but that's not what such lists tell me.

    Not for entrapment and not for "lying" about something that is not a crime. Is that how we want our justice system to act ??

    Ah yes - the post modern liberal outrage at spelling ?? Too funny. But illustrative of the selective dumbness we see everyday.

    In the post modern left world everything is moral if the immorality is directed against those deemed political enemies.

    Dowd quitting is no surprise given the hiring of a conspiracy theorist like Joe diGenova, he rightly figures what direction the buffoon's gong show is going. I only have one question, did Dowd get paid in full?

    Trump is having all kinds of trouble hiring outstanding and competent lawyers experienced in what he faces. Ted Olson just turned him down again and other very reputable lawyers / firms have also turned him down. They are concerned with three things: a) having the very worst client in the world never works well - b) can their reputations withstand the mess that will surely come their way defending a moron - c) will they get paid, LOL.

    When trying to decide whether an attorney is a good attorney, you can look to the law school from which they graduated and graduating from the worst ranked law school in the country is not a good sign.

    Ability to pass the bar exam is a pretty strong indicator. Only about 52% of the law school graduates from this school meet that criteria.

    But I want to double back to something you claimed earlier - why did you say that Dowd was the only attorney advocating for Trump to avoid the Mueller interview?

    Refrain from making statements like "according to everyone" because some of us knew of Mueller before this saga began.

    And don't use the word "honorable" when referring to him.

    He assembled his team with people that have a documented history of ethnics and civil rights violations and we saw the reasons why he wanted such people with the threatening of Papadopoulos and Flynn with total asset seizure and life imprisonment over clerical errors.

    Changes are good, right?

    If something isn't working, then change it.

    You seem to have contracted, " ... but, but, Trump ..." disease. You should have that looked into.

    Read it on CNN back a few months ago when Trump answered a reporters impromptu question on if he would sit down with Mueller.

    The order is actually reverse..... getting paid, especially by Trump, should always be at the top of the list....
