from the link:

Hutchinson’s former attorney, Stefan Passantino, has deep Trump World connections. Her new lawyer, Jody Hunt, is a longtime close ally of Jeff Sessions and served as his chief of staff when the former attorney general enraged Trump by recusing from the Russia probe.

had better lawyer up, because whether they know it or not they've stepped in a big pile of dog shit that's stuck to their shoe, and it's going to keep stinking up the place unless they figure out a way to scrape it off. That's why they need lawyers.
