Now Trump wants to bring that nutbag Kasowitz back

as one of his lawyers (per MSNBC).

What a clusterfuck.

And check out some of his other clients: "According to U.S. court records, Kasowitz’s clients include the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a close associate of Vladimir Putin and a business partner of Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort. Kasowitz also represents the Russian state-owned bank Sberbank, a bank under sanctions by the EU and the United State after Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Kasowitz

May have a conflict of interest that prevents him from returning. Or he could use as an excuse not to return.

I think that's the bank the Trump Organization tried to borrow money from, and Deripaska is the guy Manafort owes a lot of money to and tried to hide from.
