I don't think there are that many. They will be overwhelmed once the House Democrats start their investigations, the NYS Attorney General starts her investigations of his finances and businesses, the NY AG continues the suit against the Foundation, the SDNY continues with their work in which Cohen has effectively identified him as a co-conspirator, and as Mueller continues his work.
He'd need a team of over 20 experienced attorneys working full time to defend against all of that.

(10,823 posts)Trumpski is simply not prepared lawyer-wise for the onslaught ahead and has been unable to attract the Tier 1 legal team that he would need to defend himself on multiple fronts. Just as he's had trouble replacing Kelly for the COS position, a position generally regarded as a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, so too have lawyers largely demurred when asked to join the WH team. I suspect everyone knows he's a terrible client what with the flapping lips and his history of underpaying or refusing to pay for legal work. Anyone working for this Administration is likely to be tainted by the stink. I understand William Barr was asked earlier and waved off the 'opportunity.' The man is willing to replace Sessions At DOJ but defend Trumpski? Not interested.
Karma is a bitch!
