Trump adds former federal prosecutors Jane and Marty Raskin to his legal team:

...The Raskins also have experience handling government investigations. The firm lists congressional and independent counsel investigations as an area of expertise. The bio for Martin Raskin states that he has experience representing public officials.

Martin has served in several positions within the Justice Department, including as Assistant US Attorney for the District of New Jersey, according to his bio. Raskin later went into private practice.

Jane Raskin has also worked for the Justice Department, including as a trial attorney for the organized crime and racketeering section's Boston's Strike Force, according to her bio. Raskin was later appointed Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division in Washington, DC, and also served as First Assistant US Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.

Raskin & Raskin's website highlights "significant experience" handling search warrants and touts its work in litigating the return of thousands of pages of documents protected by attorney-client privilege to a national law firm.

Do you suppose someone should tell Trump he actually needs defenders?

Nah.

The stage has already been set. The "Donald" is always a day late and a dollar short.

Everybody deserves legal representation, but these two bring to mind a few words and phrases.

SHYSTER, AMBULANCE CHASER, and publicity hound, we all know there are those out there with no morals but this begs the question:

Why are they doing this?, it for personal gain that's why, and if any success is achieved they'll be set for life with the rest of the pukes.

But they'll still be scum.

I bet the pukes passed around a hat and took donations, dumpf doesn't have a prayer so it looks like it was done for him.

Too late, way too late.

I just read that the RNC took in $39 million this quarter, so the Raskins should indeed end up set for life...as very wealthy scum, indeed.
