Why didn't Trump fire his personal lawyer, John Dowd ??

Dowd said he was the one that sent the tweet that incriminated Trump in an obstruction of justice.

Most people think that Dowd lied to cover up for Donald Trump, because Trump asked him to take the blame?

But, if a lawyer actually lied to cover up for his client, that is good reason for disbarment.

Why didn't Trump fire him??

Because Trump was the author of the "tweet" and he lied about it.

Dowd is no longer just his personal attorney, he may now be a "witness" in Mueller's investigation. The law will not permit him to be both.

He can do it all by himself. He only hires lawyers to arrange money deals from Deutsch Bank.

But if he thinks he absolutely needs a new lawyer, Alan Dershowitz is drooling for the job.

Might be the only one available who isn't already working for Jared or Ivanka or Hope.

The number of incompetents in both his personal and public lives is truly astonishing.

He relishes the TV appellation of "constitutional law expert" and goes where the camera is, making a point to be on the side of horrible people.

Whoever makes him feel important and valued -- there he goes. These days it's Mara Loco, swanning with billionaires who pretend they are not anti semites.
