President Donald Trump met with a lawyer who represented then-President Bill Clinton during the impeachment process and is talking with him about a role at the White House, The New York Times reported Saturday.

The Times, citing four people familiar with the matter, said Trump met with lawyer Emmet T. Flood in the Oval Office about joining the team as Trump and his allies continue to deal with the special counsel investigation led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller.

The apparent signal that Trump is preparing for the investigation to continue through the immediate future comes as Mueller's investigation has produced multiple indictments and as the President has seen the departure of key White House personnel.

The Times' report said Cobb has told friends he does not expect to remain in his job for much longer.

I have lots of problems with Maggie Haberman, mainly that she appears afraid of the right and not afraid of the left; hence her nonstop attacks on Hillary over inflated controversies like the fake Benghazi and mostly-fake email issues. Which leads her to tilt right. (She also once called racist Jeff Sessions “tough on immigration”. Vomit)


But Maggie does a lot of good reporting. And this is an example of that.

Trump remains his own worst enemy

5. Hopefully, Trump won't need an impeachment lawyer.

Hopefully, he will have fled the country and sought political asylum in North Korea by then.

Do not use Sez Who's LLC.

7. Cobb was the only semiprofessional one.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he wants to bail regardless.

9. Maybe Mueller officially informed Trump that he is the subject of a criminal investigation?

Why else would Trump be interviewing lawyers with impeachment experience? I guess he won't be screeching about fake news and Democrats concocting Russian hoaxes any more.
