Trump Just Hired a Lawyer Who Says the FBI and DOJ Conspired to Frame Trump

[ffr]

In the latest indication that the White House is taking a more combative stance toward Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, President Donald Trump has decided to add Washington lawyer Joseph diGenova to his legal team. DiGenova and his wife, Victoria Toensing, have a long history of engaging in legal work and commentary that advance right-wing causes, and both have been outspoken critics of federal law enforcement officials’ handling of investigations into Hillary Clinton and into Trump associates’ ties to Russia.

The New York Times reported on Monday that Trump is hiring diGenova to add “a more aggressive player” to his legal team. In January, diGenova publicly accused FBI and Justice Department officials of hatching a “brazen plot to illegally exonerate Hillary Clinton” and to “frame Donald Trump with a falsely created crime.” He referred to former FBI director James Comey, who Trump fired, as “America’s most dirty cop” and said that Attorney General Jeff Sessions should appoint a new special counsel or impanel a grand jury to investigate Comey and other current and former FBI and DOJ officials. - Motherjones

2. Di Genova (and his uncharming wife Victoria Toensing)

are a couple of virulent rethug has-beens who are only useful for sites like World Nut Daily and Not-too-Brite-Bart. The fact that Trump has put him on his 'team' means the two other professionals (Cobb and Dowd) won't be long in getting the fuck out of Dodge. Then Dumpy can have a dream team of Jay (Jews for Christ) Sekulow and DiGenova. That should just about guarantee that Dumpy will never agree to his "interview" with Mueller. So, it's coming up on Subpoena time.
