Olson would also make it really hard to claim Mueller had a conflict. Remember who Jim Comey got to go to WH w/him after hospital scandal? Not Mueller, but Olson.
Mind you Olson might be the one person who could successfully argue Mueller has overstepped mandate wrt Manfort’s EDVA charges. But he wouldn’t be working for Manafort.
Crucially, the order written by Rosenstein establishing the special-counsel investigation is very broad. It states that the special counsel is “authorized to conduct the investigation” that includes “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government ........
and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump” as well as “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.”
I wonder if we could expect that he already turned down Manafort? Not to say Manafort could afford him, but maybe he asked anyway?
Law nerd.
The Special Counsel can cast a net wide and far...Manafort will go a few rounds with Mueller...perhaps he thinks Trump will pardon him at the end.
Even Trump's picks for legal counsel are stuck in the early 1990s. There's a whole generation of conservative gov't lawyers who have risen since Olsen's prime. You telling me Paul Clement has better things to do?
"it was unclear whether Olson would accept. He previously declined an offer to join the team. " think he will do it?
why do you want Trump to have someone as competent as Olson on his team? Plus, as every lawyer must- he argues for who pays him- and skews things to that end. I want Trump out of office- not protected
Olson wouldn't join up if he thought Trump would fire Mueller, right?
