Yes, he's the one. And he's quite the ardent Trump supporter but their is real fear running through that entire article. That West wing is in turmoil.

Please tweet Trump that you are ready and willing to join his legal team.

Donald Trump is a poker player. Bluff and bravado are important skills when holding a weak hand.

Unfortunately, everyone at the table can now tell he's bluffing, and his friends are worried.

Still, everyone in town important enough to have secrets worth keeping knows that secrets are not safe on the Acela train and in Washington restaurants.

This is especially true in eateries next door to a major newspaper."

I know right. I mean how moronic could one be. These guys are amateurs. Donny boy hired amateurs. But then again that is something to expect from the guy who ran a reality TV show called the Apprentice.

Trump better hope so. The problem for him and his fans though is he has an inept legal team handling this whole thing. Bad for him, good for the country!

From what I've read, no one else would take on a losing case with a client who not only won't follow advice, but often doesn't pay.

Kushner apparently has some experienced people on his legal team, but Trump is stuck with these goofballs.

The reporter even took a picture of the two attorneys eating at the restaurant. It's like a comedy movie. He should have asked for their autographs.
