Advisers Urge Trump to Hire Outside Lawyer in Russia Inquiry

 

"WASHINGTON — Several White House advisers and personal associates of President Trump have urged him to hire an experienced outside lawyer to help him deal with issues arising from a surging controversy over whether his campaign had ties to Russia, according to several people briefed on the conversations."

 

"The recommendations came even before a special counsel was named on Wednesday to lead the investigation into any collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and Russian officials."

 

"Mr. Trump’s aides and allies were said to be especially concerned by the revelation that James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director fired by Mr. Trump, has contemporaneous, detailed memos reconstructing conversations with the president."

Soon the inept one will be hiding behind this phalanx.

 

Why would he need them if it is all only a "hoax" and a "witch hunt"?

Time to stop playing "Hail to the chief" when Trump takes the stage? "From Russia with love" might be more appropriate.

And when the FBI says Trump did nothing wrong, then what? Will liberals let it go or have they already decided what the truth is? It sure sounds like the latter. The democrats are no better than Obama birthers at this point. Let the witch hunt continue.

The Russian issue would be the bullet to stop Trump but there are plenty of reasons why this moron needs to be stopped bringing down his country.  If he manages to dodge this one then give it a few days and he will certainly screw something else up and eventually he will be outed.

You must be joking. Everything is on hold as this scandal is processed. 

Real issues seldom get put on hold during a storm in a tea cup.

Give the Russkies some credit where credit is due. Their national anthem is to die for ... fabulous!

"Asked by Fox News' Chris Wallace about contact between Trump or Trump's team and the Kremlin, and the former Indiana governor denied there had been any, writing off the whole line of questioning as a "distraction."

"Of course not. Why would there be any contact between the campaign?" Pence told Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."
