(20,998 posts)2. when you hire an attorney, you generally want an attorney as specialized as possible...
...for tax problems, you hire a tax attorney. For immigration issues, you hire an immigration attorney. It only stands to reason Fredo tRump* would need a mob attorney who specializes in white-collar criminal defendants. I'll be frank: Fredo tRump* is a babe in the woods, and has no clue just how gritty and dirty this could get. But Jared* knows... oh yes, Jared* knows. That's why attorneys for "the pResident*" are now trying to "wall off" trump* from Kushner*.
