He worked with David Boies on the gay marriage case before the SCOTUS....Shame he has to tarnish that by working for the current mob boss president....

1. Is this the same Ted Olson who worked for Bush 43, and whose

wife was killed in the (presumed) Pentagon crash in 2001?

[MissB]

3. That would be the one.

2. Olson hasnt signed on yet

4. I hope he doesn't.

He seems like a dignified individual. Why would he want to besmirch himself by associating with the likes of Cadet Bone Spurs?

5. Ted Olson is a good lawyer

I am surprised that he would represent a low life like trump

6. drumph would need a legion of lawyers but even then.....finito

7. "Adds" or "seeks-to-add" ??? Which is correct?

[onenote]

9. I believe "fails to add" is correct.

11. Perfect! :-D

8. Seeks to add, not as yet

He was asked b4 to join the dodart team and refused. Hope that will continue!!!

10. He is a principled attorney and will sign on if there's a fundamental legal question at stake....

...I doubt he would sign on unless he thinks the FBI and DOJ and SC are treating Trump unfairly and Trump needs protection. Or...Not likely unless Ted believes a sitting president can't be indicted and wishes to focus on that aspect of defense.

He should think hard...as Rick Wilson knows, everything Trump touches dies.

12. "seeks"

CNN lawyer guests last night said Drumpf can't attract quality lawyers like Olson because they all know he's an impossible client they can't control.

13. Please modify your subject line

As Marc Albert would say, “Ree-JECTED!”

[MineralMan]

14. Olson turned him down.

Your post title is incorrect, and doesn't even match your link, which says "seeks to add." Probably, you should self-delete your OP.

16. Trump: "So what about it Ted?" Olson: "Not just no, HELL NO".
