Here is why Trump can only hire unknown lawyers & Giuliani

Raw Story
April 21, 2018

"HELPING THIS PRESIDENT IS AKIN TO TREASON":
HERE IS WHY TRUMP CAN ONLY HIRE UNKNOWN LAWYERS AND GIULIANI

Twelve partners from seven top-tier white-collar criminal defense attorneys turned down President Donald Trump before former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was brought on, the Boston Globe reported Saturday.

"Rudy Giuliani has always been available," former California prosecutor Roger Cossack suggested.
"Hiring Rudy Giuliani only underlines Trump's dilemma in finding a lawyer who will work for him."

The rejection of President Trump has no parallels in American history.

"What we're seeing with President Trump is really unprecedented," explained historian Timothy Naftali, former director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.

None of the lawyers reported to have turned down the president agreed to comment on why they passed.
Even experts refused to go on record.

"Everyone who becomes associated with Trump becomes diminished," said "one leading white-collar crime expert" who feared offending Trump.
"You come out with less of a reputation."

listens to them, and we all know how that goes.

So far he doesn't seem to be listening with his INCRIMINATING tweet about a person who shouldn't flip...why would RUMP think there is something to flip about ??? Another bad idea tweet...add it to the pile of evidence.
