Trump Has Just Hired An Army Of 17 Lawyers To Hide From Mueller
Olivia Ovenden, Esquire 2 hours 33 minutes ago 
Despite his attempts to cause confusion and chaos with a national address on the proposed border wall - in which he said very little - the heat of the Mueller investigation is clearly getting to Donald.
So much so that he's considerably strengthened his legal team in order to help protect himself as the feared contents of Mueller's report loom.
The significantly larger team has been assembled with the aim of preventing Trump's discussions with top legal advisors being disclosed to House Democrats or revealed in Mueller's forthcoming report.
The Independent report that, " The strategy to strongly assert the president's executive privilege on both fronts is being developed under newly arrived White House counsel Pat Cipollone, who has hired 17 lawyers in recent weeks to help in the effort."
Were Trump to succeed in blocking areas of Mueller's report from becoming public it would enrage Democrats, many of which have long been hoping the contents of the report will give them grounds to issue subpoenas.
With the report potentially due as soon as next month, Democrats are especially concerned that Trump's legal team is attempting to conceal obstruction of justice by the president - an impeachable offence.
Hoping to hide behind an army of lawyers, Trump's legal team have told special counsel Robert Mueller he will not answer any more questions.
Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Reuters , " As far as we're concerned, everything is over. We weren't convinced they had any questions they don't know the answer to."
He added, "They could try to subpoena him if they want. But they know we could fight that like hell," he said.
The investment in a bolstered legal team is particularly galling for federal government workers who continue to go unpaid amid the partial government shut down. Donny always said his priority was protecting American jobs, but perhaps he should have made clear he only meant his own.

Sounds like the big fat turd has a lot to hide.
I think all this wall talk is a distraction
Because of this:
and other things?
wow....
that's what, a lawyer for each incident of obstruction of justice? or 1 for each incident of russian collusion? how many lawyers has the fuckwad got now, I've lost count.
Same as usual, only a witch hunt, nothing to see, so he's going to do his best to make sure you can't see it.
Someone needs to superimpose the white house blowing up behind him... In all my decades of following American politics I've never seen anything like this, and pretty much every Presidential historian agrees. The Trump administration has lowered the bar even below the Nixon administration yet they continue to insist "Nothing to see here...Please disperse...".
I've always loved that scene
Loved all 6 episodes of the series.
Here Come The Indictments...
Only in the progressive liberal left's twisted dreams...
Only if justice is done and conspiracy convictions come to the Obama Administration for their illegal attempt against Trump and his campaign
why stop there? GWB, Cheney, and Rumsfeld could still easily be fitted with hemp neckties for war crimes.
You want to add Obama, Biden, and Gates to that as well? Or are extra judicial killings not considered a crime anymore?
No war crimes I’m aware of.
Hypocrites should probably first check with the russian puppet in the white house about the validity of American laws on foreign soil. In my opinion, the CIA should be exercising extreme prejudice against Americans involved in unamerican activities outside America. I'm disappointed certain oil company executives that were involved in buying black market terrorist oil didn't end up decorating a middle eastern desert.

How does that excuse Obama's extra judicial killings of Americans w/o trial?
Further, how does it excuse his extra judicial killings of foreign citizens in countries that the US is not at war with. If Bush is guilty of war crimes- then so is Obama.
Hypocrites should hold both sides accountable for violations of US and international laws.
what US Federal courts are located on foreign soil? I thought reading comprehension issues by the right were limited to the bible and Constitution.
In my not so humble opinion, those so-called Americans gave up their American card when they decided to go fight with jihadist terrorists
no shit. that doesn't stop the but, but, but Obama chorus though. There's a lot more rightwing entrepreneurs selling out America to our enemies besides the POS/POTUS. Due process applies here, but once they step out of the park, they deserve to get their tickets punched by the CIA.
Yep! Especially after Obama, Holder, and their minions walked away scot free over the Fast and Furious debacle...
The Trump is proving his brilliance of the slide/skate/dodge and come out standing with not a hair out of place.
Within three months, Mueller, Rosenstein, Comey, Both Clintons, Obama and his traitorous family--especially the children, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and the majority of the democrats in the house and senate will be indicted for treason against the gawd that has delivered onto us the Trump.
It is time to 'bow and kneel' as foretold by the Omarosa on that day which now seems like centuries ago.
No sarc. Worship the Trump or get out of gawd's land.
Having legal representation is mind boggling for the looney left.
Only Mueller is entitled to a host of lawyers.
Do any of you Trump defenders that are bringing up Obama and company, or Hillary etc,
realizze
that NO INDICTNENTS FOR the Obama Administration
again, NONE,
now how many m counting for the A whole lot of treason in our White House Again ???
The most investigated Bitch in the world , Hillary , was NEVER charged with ANYTHING, but I agree that she is an unlikable pol, and made some unscrupulous devious imho, but all within the boundaries of the laws
you know laws u give TRUMPP A PASS ON
WTF
hypocriy much
let me help use
YES!
They just can't help spewing whataboutisms even when they're alternative facts.......
