When potus feels pain from what Muellers doing-"they give him OxyContin & tell him he'll be fine"

A White House fearful about strategy of @POTUS lawyers: "Every time the president feels a little bit of pain from what Mueller’s doing, they give him OxyContin and tell him he’ll be fine by the morning"

.........

One Republican strategist in frequent contact with senior White House officials said there had been “consternation” among Trump’s political advisers in recent days.

“The concern is that every time the president feels a little bit of pain from what Mueller’s doing, (his lawyers) give him OxyContin and tell him he’ll be fine by the morning,” this strategist said metaphorically, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. “Rather than being aggressive lawyers defending the president’s prerogative, they’re bending over backwards on the theory that Mueller is fair and it’ll all be over soon.”
