      Trump's inability to find a decent lawyer is really a striking thing. Very much a contrast with Watergate. Nixon had Charles Wiggins, a really topnotch lawyer.https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/979194100443484161 …

      He is also apparently 70 years old and lists unpublished manuscripts on Byzantine and Greek history as part of his resume as a lawyer. https://twitter.com/kelly2277/status/978839278087213058 …

      Not that having a good lawyer helped Nixon in the end (Wiggins eventually quit when it became apparent Nixon had lied to him). Still, helped Nixon fight as well as he could for a longer period.

          Do any public defenders have room in their schedule that aren’t conflicted ?

          The importance of Watergate is the reminder to everyone around Trump that history will be written and it will not be kind.

          I submit Trump doesn’t care to have a good lawyer because he just needs a brazen one that doesn’t care about the actual law. He needs a spinner because his play is obvious. Ryan and McConnell aren’t going to do anything.

          Kind of surprised Ramsey Clark hasn't volunteered.

          I think Trump just skipped ahead to this phase.

          So it actually is a close parallel to Watergate, just with a president who lies all the time, to everyone.

          Finally all the hours I spent studying Byzantine history for fun will be helpful in understanding a modern political event!
