https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-cant-find-a-lawyer_us_5ab9d8a7e4b008c9e5faab8bPresident Donald Trump is struggling to find lawyers to join his legal team.
John Dowd, lead attorney for the president in the Russia probe, resigned last week. Ted Olson, who served as solicitor general under President George W. Bush, reportedly rejected an offer to join the team. Up to six other lawyers have also reportedly turned down Trump over the past week.

doesn't listen. It's a losing proposition from day 1 with Trump. Also, they likely know/feel Trump is guilty as hell of many things.
