Panic spreads on Trumps legal team as everyone tries to guess who Mueller will indict
The news that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has filed sealed indictments in the multiple investigations facing the Trump administration is sending shock waves of suspicion and uncertainty through President Donald Trump’s legal team and his closest allies, said Politico on Saturday.
“President Donald Trump’s White House and personal lawyers scrambled Saturday to learn where the knife might fall in the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller,” wrote Politico’s Darren Samuelsohn, “triggering a guessing game among aides after days of trying to turn attention away from allegations of collusion with Russia during the election.”
Attorneys for the White House, for President Trump and for his many aides who have lawyered up since the Mueller probe began were burning up phone lines on Friday and Saturday trying to find any information about the nature of the sealed indictments or who might be named in them.
Some, like ousted legal team spokesman Mark Corallo were enraged by indictment news, which he accused the Mueller team of leaking in order to put the squeeze on Trump’s allies and defenders.

Would love to see the old fashioned prosecutors squeeze used to full effect in this case. 
In the ways things work in D.C. - obviously he only trusts those in his "inner circle" - and that gives me hope that Mueller and his team have the advantage. This is one situation that Trump won't be able to bully or pay his way out of! I don't think he's yet realized that this is serious - it's not another "game show" - so it will be very interesting to see how this plays out... *fingers crossed* 
How many lawyers would turn down the prestige of representing a sitting president? But we have never had anyone in office remotely like Trump - especially since he's so flagrant in his outrageous actions. What reputable attorney would feel okay about taking on his issues - knowing that Trump is incapable of following advice? And that's a very good point about him stiffing everyone - no wonder he has inept representation. But he's also incapable of figuring that out... 
top-level government officials and business executives.
A partner in one gave 4 reasons in an interview why his wouldn't take the case: First was kind of a basic oh-brother: He doesn't pay his attorney bills. But I think the next was the big, determinate one: They knew he doesn't follow his attorneys' advice. The last two were that it would harm them with their other clients and with prospective top-flight interns, neither of whom would care to be associated with Rump.
This about the President of the United States. Incredible times.
When we think of the issues that caused an uproar with previous presidents, Jimmy Carter's "lust in his heart" comment, Barack Obama's tan suit, and now we have a game show host in office who likely broke the law before he walked through the door. And that has to be the crux of it, who would want a non-paying high profile client who refuses to cooperate and makes a firm look foolish? It would be a lose-lose proposition... 
Not on that list are moral issues, which probably are not normally prohibitive, unlike ethical ones, to these top-flight hired guns, but in this case they're so huge that it's hard to imagine someone didn't mention them at some point.
Sunday morning, and therealdonaldtrump has been talking about everything BUT this. Sorry, gameshowhost, but it's time to start revealing to your supporters what they "won" behind curtain #3.
And ridiculous in comparison. I seem to remember that he maybe smoked cigarettes - and definitely chewed gum. And then there was that time he saluted with the coffee in his hand - not to mention the international embarrassment when he dined with the Queen of England, he continued speaking when the orchestra played God Save the Queen! Horrors! 
And the sad thing is that for all his offenses, Trump still doesn't get it. Anyone who thought he would "change" or "grow into the job" has to be catching on... 
that all the worst fears of a friend of a relative about Obama's anti-colonial, anti-American, anti-decency character were true. Of course she once also told me the TV show The X-Files was being used by patriots to reveal secret truths about our government that couldn't be gotten out any other way.
Didn't bother to disagree with her either time. Her smiles aren't meant to fool either of us. She knows I'm also anti-decency.
Yet his supporters are obsessed with "patriotism" despite having the least loyal POTUS in history. 
And The X-Files?? I used to work with the networks, wrote up the listings for the newspapers and The X-Files was one of my shows. There were numerous times it was accused of being way too far out there! 
wants to be doused with the Trump stank. 
And yeah he will stiff you for the bill in the end LOL
Guess Twitler will have to depend on some Fox true believer joke for a lawyer.
And I agree that he has yet to realize that this is different - as long as he keeps getting applause at those "campaign rallys" he still thinks he's "winning..."
it has slowed down the tweets. 
And the more desperate they get, the more ridiculous it becomes...
