The lawyer, Joseph diGenova, has often vehemently defended the president on Fox News and cast the Mueller probe as a conspiracy against him. Trump enjoyed the TV appearances and wanted diGenova on his team even though he did not know him, officials say.

The President is disappointed that conflicts prevent Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing from joining his Special Counsel legal team,” said Jay Sekulow, counsel to Trump. “However, those conflicts do not prevent them from assisting the President in other legal matters. The President looks forward to working with them.

1. Want to work for the Trump administration?

Just get yourself on Fox News and say nice things about him. No other qualifications are required.

2. I find the second paragraph most interesting

They might continue to consult on other legal matters....but not this one.

3. Or they will continue to consult on this matter

but won't front up in court about it.

4. Officially they'll say conflict of interest.

IMO the "real reason" is Trump refused to post $250,000 or more as their retainer and they couldn't guarantee they'd beat the rap.

5. "Mt Trump you're in luck!"

"I watched Matlock at a bar last night. The sound was off, but I think got the gist of it! "
