    I can't WAIT until Mueller uses crime-fraud exception to get Dowd to testify about this and his pardon dangles.https://twitter.com/rebeccaballhaus/status/1043171550583828480 …

    NEW: John Dowd, while heading Trump's legal team, tried to send money from the WH legal defense fund to lawyers for Gates + Manafort. When that was rebuffed, he solicited donors + pledged $25K of his own to Manafort's fund. He didn't follow through. https://www.wsj.com/articles/ex-trump-lawyer-tried-to-help-pay-legal-fees-for-manafort-gates-1537546304 …

        I wonder if Trump is dangling a pardon before Dodd to get him to refuse to help Mueller. 😎

        The dichotomy between how Dowd presented himself to Woodward and the reality of his performance is... *chef’s kiss*

        do you not worry about lionizing a former FBI Director / GWB appointee in service of an investigation into Trump that has no ideological benefit to the left

        Aren't there bar associations or profession regulators in that jurisdiction to investigate this type of misconduct?

        Timing is significant. Dowd frantically tried to raise 25k when he found out Gates was planning to plead guilty. But we'll keep reading about how Trump and his lawyers believe he is innocent of conspiracy.
