****BREAKING**** Trump will not add Joe DeGenerate and his wife to his legal team.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

President Trump has decided not to hire two lawyers who were announced last week as new additions to his legal team, leaving him with a shrinking stable of lawyers as the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, enters an intense phase.

“The president is disappointed that conflicts prevent Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing from joining the president’s special counsel legal team,” Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, said in a statement on Sunday morning. “However, those conflicts do not prevent them from assisting the president in other legal matters. The president looks forward to working with them.”

The upheaval on the legal team comes at a critical time for Mr. Trump. The president’s former lead lawyer, John Dowd, quit the team on Thursday, just as Mr. Trump is deciding whether to sit with Mr. Mueller for an interview.

While Mr. Trump’s lawyers, including Mr. Dowd, had told the president that the investigation would be over by this point, it seems to be accelerating, as Mr. Mueller appears to be looking into a wide range of matters related to Mr. Trump’s corporate activities, his 2016 campaign, his associates and his time in office.

The president met with Mr. diGenova and Ms. Toensing, who are married, in recent days to discuss the possibility that they would join his legal team in the Mueller case. According to two people told of details about the meeting, the president did not believe he had personal chemistry with Mr. diGenova and Ms. Toensing.

1. What kinda idiot lawyer would want the Trump taint

on their reputation for life anyway?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. True dat. As for anyone left working in WH don't you

Think that we are long past that optimum time to leave. Like if you stayed a decent amount of time that people could understand? Like u gave it a shot, realized he was crazy then quit. People like Con-way and Huckabee have destroyed their careers forever more.

[workinclasszero]

35. Yeah I agree

All the smart rats bailed already.

Only the dregs of right wing nuttery will be running this country from now on.

From the very top to the very bottom.

A sleigh ride down an icy mountainside straight into the depths of hell. Hang on America, this ain't gonna be pretty.

[Luciferous]

2. So that's why he tweeted about lawyers this morning?

[Maeve]

3. OK, so she is representing Mark Corallo, who left over concerns about obstruction of justice

which puts him on the side opposite Hope Hicks and tRump, so very much a conflict of interest!

[Ilsa]

4. I bet he stays on Fux news with a

Pro-trump commentary every day when the shit hits the fan. I doubt he could do that if he was his lawyer.

[global1]

24. I Think You're Right....

the decision was made that he can help Trump more if he's on Fox that actually representing him in the WH. He'll spin his conspiracy theories on Fox - to keep influencing Trump's base and discrediting Mueller.

[Marcuse]

39. Yes. He will more effectively represent Dennison in the Star Chamber of the Fox News Universe.

[BootinUp]

5. Personal chemistry? Lol.

[marybourg]

6. Yeah, two bull elephants in a room is too many.

*with apologies to male elephants

[smirkymonkey]

7. What? White Trash didn't have chemistry with White Trash?

This is just getting too bizarre.

[Botany]

8. Damn!

“The president is disappointed that conflicts prevent Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing
from joining the president’s special counsel legal team,”


Please Donny hire Joe d ..... just because he hasn't practiced law for 20+ years and
is a "Fox News TV Lawyer" is no reason not to have him go up against Mueller & Co.

[MaryMagdaline]

14. I know. Would love to watch this show.

[Botany]

22. A "Fox News TV Lawyer" who has not practiced for 20+ years vs Bob Mueller*

What could go wrong?


* At or close to the top of his class U. VA law school, US Attorney, Head of the FBI, and private practice

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mueller

[MaryMagdaline]

23. Would love to see diGenova look mueller in the eye and make allegations of framing

As a friend of mine said the other day, "Let DiGeneva say that in front of a federal judge." This is not the Judge Judy show.

[Botany]

26. So you don't think a federal judge would have any truck with crazy ass Joe's ...

..... Obama/Hillary worked with the Russians and the liberal "deep state" in
order to make Trump look bad?

I wonder who got to Trump and pointed out that DiGeneva isn't a real lawyer?
Trump lays in bed eating egg mc muffins and watches Fox and Friends and he is
in either deep denial or bat shit crazy if he thinks ANYTHING Brian Killmeade and
others is true and fact based.

[MaryMagdaline]

27. The picture you painted made me laugh!

I think, based in his tweet, the "chemistry" problem was the retainer. 45 was bitching about lawyers having an excuse to bill the file by "catching up." So unfair. The man is so cheap. I really think he fired dowd so that he had another excuse not to meet with mueller. ("My new lawyers are not up to speed yet.&quot

[Botany]

28. I might not be all that keen on lawyer Dowd but he is a real lawyer and good @ his job

My hat is that Dowd tried to tell Trump that a meeting w/Mueller would not turn out
well but Trump went right ahead and said that he wants to meet w/Mueller anyway. I think the
few questions that Mueller sent to Trump and his lawyers were a shot across the bow to let
them know he has the dirt on Donny.

[MaryMagdaline]

29. Not tinfoil at all. I think good analysis of circumstantial evidence

[ooky]

32. Sounds accurate, and after that he

decided he better go with the conspiracy defense. Then second thoughts that won't work either. He is having trouble coming to grips that Mueller has him surrounded.

[DinahMoeHum]

9. Tee hee! Even those two know a LOSER when they see one.

[MaryMagdaline]

10. Unbelievable that they would even meet with him

Knowing how serious the conflicts are. You don't think that jerk didn't ask him what corallo said to Mueller? If I were Corallo I would fire their asses right now.

[Miigwech]

11. trump too cray-cray for the original crazy train

[poboy2]

12. Joe DeGenerate -I like it. Also good that loon will not be issuing WH statements. -nt

[Iliyah]

13. Well there's always Alan Dershowitz

[workinclasszero]

19. Yeah I would love to see that jerk

crater the last tiny bit of credibility he has left in service to the orange beast in the white house!

[magicarpet]

15. Too bad.... they are both so incompetent and hot headed..

... they would have brought excitement, color, and sparkle to tRdump's legal team. They would have pissed off Mueller so bad and helped light King of Orange's ass on fire 3X faster with all their wild accusations and Fux Nooz hyperbolic press releases of total innocent.

[PJMcK]

16. The way this article is written is ridiculous!

"President Trump has decided not to hire two lawyers..."

Bullshit.

Trump didn't decide not to hire these scumbag lawyers. They told him they couldn't work for him because they were conflicted. Trump wouldn't care about such ethical requirements, if he even understands them.

Then there's this gem:

"...the president did not believe he had personal chemistry with Mr. diGenova and Ms. Toensing." There's only one person in the world who has "personal chemistry" with Trump and that's the face he sees in the mirror as he creates that ridiculous mess onto of his head.

The NY Times writers have slanted the report to make Trump sound like he's a president deciding things. As I wrote, it's crap.

[MaryMagdaline]

17. Seriously, did President Nut Job run his lawyer off by telling him he's going to

Hire diGenova and Toensing before he even meets with diGenova and Toensing?

[czarjak]

18. Brazen!!!!

[BSdetect]

20. Mr Drumph, I can represent you and get you off - just send me a blank check.

That I can actually cash.

[pangaia]

21. "...the president did not believe he had personal chemistry with Mr. diGenova and Ms. Toensing. "

[MineralMan]

25. Haha!

[Mountain Mule]

30. HAH! tRump's legal team is shrinking - GOOD!

[Stallion]

31. diGenova Might Not Only Have Conflicts With Other Clients-He Could Be a Material Witness

related to pre-election threats from the New York office of the FBI that forced Comey to reopen the Clinton investigation on October 27, 2016 just days before the election. Seth Abramson wrote a great e-mail thread detailing diGenova and Giuliani role in that hoax and power play

Link to tweet

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. Perhaps it was because the sentence came at the end of the OP.

But what struck me was the "personal chemistry" aspect. I find it hard to believe he has personal chemistry with anyone, other than his reflection and his shadow.

And sometimes it's not so easy,
Especially when your only friend
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you
And you do just the same as him

[yellerpup]

36. Aww, they don't love him enough to lie for him.

They also know they'll get beat on collecting what he owes.

[PatrickforO]

37. Smart lawyers. Stay away from that sinking ship.

Trump is now at the stage of rearranging deck chairs on the Trumptanic, which is going full speed ahead.

In the meantime, the iceberg that is Mueller lurks in the path of the speeding vessel, ready to tear out its sides and sink the unsinkable.

[BumRushDaShow]

38. He could always call upon Geraldo.
