How many different legal fronts is Trump up against now?

Is there any limit on how many charges they can throw at Trump? Does he have to have a separate set of lawyers for each of them?

With Mueller closing in on his family and his closest political advisers, his businesses, his finances, his Russian contacts, the purgeries, the legal fees alone are going to ruin him. For someone who loves money more than anything, this is going to hurt his pride and ego more than anything else ever could.

There are probably more charges to come that are under seal or pending, in both Federal and state courts. He can't keep pretending this is all a hoax. Tick-tock, tick-tock...

He doesn't have to have separate lawyers for each of the many legal actions that are or might soon be brought against him (assuming they are all admitted to practice in the jurisdictions in question), but realistically there's no way one lawyer or small group of lawyers could possibly handle that much work. And, to make matters even worse for Spanky, the lawyers he has now seem to be spectacularly incompetent.

asking if anyone knew of how many laws the fake prez has broken so far but I didn't post it since I don't know who could keep up with the ever increasing number. I estimate there must be at least 25 by now, especially if I think back to all the times I have heard lawyers and politicians say , "...he could be impeached on this alone...".

There's probably hundreds of potential charges related to that even without looking at his illegal political activities or the Russian connections.
