Trump’s top personal lawyer, John Dowd, resigned on Thursday. Reports say he’d grown frustrated with Trump’s unwillingness to heed his legal advice, including his view that an interview with Mueller would be too risky.

And less than a week after announcing that Trump was adding two new lawyers to his legal team, personal Trump attorney Jay Sekulow had to walk back the announcement, saying the two wouldn’t be working on the special counsel investigation after all because of “conflicts” with their other clients.

McGahn and Cobb are both reportedly considering leaving as well.

2. I think the timing is AWESOME! Not to mention karmic...

What are the odds? Act like an ass-clown, flaunt laws openly, listen to no one, stiff your creditors...

KARMA is moving on him like a BITCH!

3. But Trump is a genius, he knows more than any lawyer so he doesn't really need

them. Trump will represent himself and traunce Mueller using the classic 'dazzle them with brilliance or baffle them with bullshit,' defence strategy to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

4. On the contrary, the timing is perfect!
