Attorney representing President Trump in Russia probe resigns
The top lawyer representing President Donald Trump in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election resigned Thursday, according to multiple reports. Attorney John Dowd’s resignation came days after he called for an end to Mueller’s investigation.
“I love the president and wish him well,” Dowd wrote Thursday in an email to The Washington Post . (Link)
Dowd’s departure was “a largely mutual decision” based on Trump’s recent belief that Dowd couldn’t handle Mueller’s investigation and the attorney’s frustration with the president’s recent additions to his legal team. Trump attorney Jay Sekulow earlier this week brought one of his friends, veteran Washington attorney Joseph diGenova, onto the team, according to The New York Times.
I wonder how long diGenova will last?
He's already gone, if he ever actually started.
Serioulsly? Ao soon?
Well, it certainly looks like Trump is getting more and more efficient with each passing day---he's considerably shortened the interval between the time he hires someone-- and the time he fires them!
Read this link, it's funny as hell about the hiring and ''firing'' of diGenova.
Trump has targeted Mueller for criticism in recent days, repeating his claims that the probe is little more than a politically motivated “witch hunt."
Last month, Mueller indicted 13 Russian individuals and three organizations on charges of interfering in the election. Three of Trump's associates -- former national security adviser Michael Flynn, deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates and campaign aide George Papadopoulos -- have pleaded guilty to lying to investigators and agreed to cooperate.
Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has pleaded not guilty to a variety of money laundering and other criminal charges.
Yes, it is indeed a "Witch Hunt"-- and a highly successful one at that!
He's indicted several witches so far and got guilty pleas from a few. He is a fantastic witch hunter, so the witch that is Donald Trump had better watch out..or strike a plea deal now.
