"SNIP...........
Trump tried to hire Ted Olson to defend him in case impeachment proceedings are brought, but Olson blasted the turmoil surrounding Trump and made it clear why he would never work for him.
.........
Olson said on MSNBCs Andrea Mitchell Reports, I think everybody would agree this is turmoil, chaos, confusion. Its not good for anything. We always believe that there should be an orderly process, and of course, government is not clean or orderly ever, but this seems to be beyond normal.
There is no way that Ted Olson would ever work for Trump, and his comments explain why no decent or talented person would take a job on this presidents legal team or in his administration. Chaos and amateurism do not play well with the type of professionals and experts that presidents need to surround themselves with. No president in the last century has needed to be surrounded by good people more than Trump, which is exactly why this presidents ability to repulse quality people is creating a self-defeating cycle of failure.

OMGWTF
(3,978 posts)When he shot Harry Wittington, his 73-year old friend, who later APOLOGIZED for getting in the way of Cheney's gun and for any stress this has caused him. Whoa! As I recall they waited for hours before calling the police to allow Cheney to sober up first.

You probably know this already, but - it was John Roberts who clued in W's Supreme Court team on how they should argue his case. Roberts had clerked for William Rehnquist. He knew that WR's obsession was with the Equal Protection clause. So Roberts advised W's team to present W's case as an Equal Protection issue. And W's big wet kiss to Roberts was the Chief Justice job when WR fell too ill to serve.
