Trumps Personal Lawyer Is Now Calling For End To Russia Probe

The personal lawyer for President Donald Trump has called for the FBI probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election to end, one day after Trump fired the deputy director of the FBI.

Lawyer John Dowd said Saturday morning that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should shut down special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, The Daily Beast reports.

The lawyer also cited a Saturday morning tweet by Trump that applauded his Friday decision to fire Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI. McCabe, a lifelong Republican, served with the FBI for 21 years. He was less than two days from his retirement, which would have guaranteed him a government pension. 

“I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,” Dowd told the The Daily Beast in an email.

and I can say authoritatively that I have not found evidence there of any collusion with Russia

"I feel quite certain that Stormy herself would tell you likewise, were she not unfortunately prevented from discussing this sensitive topic by a mysteriously unsigned nondisclosure agreement

"The time has come to end this foolish witch hunt by dismantling the FBI and the rest of the federal government, which have so unfairly damaged my client's reputation"
