      Chris Geidner Retweeted Ted Boutrous

      Fellow Gibson Dunn partner to Ted Olson. They work together often and closely. (This also makes sense to me!) —>https://twitter.com/BoutrousTed/status/976142612183662592 …

      So, that WaPo story lasted less than two hours: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-legal-team-seeks-to-add-gravitas-with-offer-to-star-gop-attorney-theodore-b-olson/2018/03/20/571f1e46-2c41-11e8-8ad6-fbc50284fce8_story.html … (I don't doubt the reporting that the White House wanted Ted Olson.)

      UPDATE: A source familiar with the situation confirms that Ted Olson was approached to represent Donald Trump and that Olson/Gibson Dunn declined to do so.

          Replying to @chrisgeidner

          Ted Olson's wife died on 9/11. I believe she was on the AAL flght. Mueller is who headed the FBI in the aftermath. Olson is at the top of the Republican food chain and knows Mueller and how he operates; He will never represent trump.

          Apparently, Olsen didn't want to screw the country a second time.

          I can't see any rational lawyer wanting to get involved. However, not all lawyers are rational (or smart). #instanttell

          I'd be shocked if they'd accepted. Seems anyone associating with Trump team is kissing their careers goodbye for the future
