    If this actually goes through it will be the first perfectly appropriate (and damned talented) lawyer that Trump has hired. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/02/us/politics/emmet-flood-ty-cobb-white-house-lawyer-special-counsel.html …pic.twitter.com/KoyrA5VmKK

        If I were Flood I'd have a very long list of things I'd demand of Trump to come on, starting with confiscating his iPhone. Not clear Trump can tolerate that.

        All, *we'll* be paying Flood. This is a WHCO position, not a private attorney one.

        Wait, he got rid of Cobb? I missed that subplot.

        Story is Cobb told Trump he wants out and Flood is supposed to be replacing him. But then WH announced the hiring of DiGenova and Toensing w/o actually hiring them, so maybe he's just down another lawyer?

        But seriously, any attorney worth their salt won't touch this case. Trump practices obstruction of justice daily, much like eating his Big Macs, with gusto. No ethical attorney wants to be part of that for a whole bunch of reasons.

        Is he going to tolerate a client who obstructs justice almost every day on Twitter?

        It won’t last. Trump will do something perfectly “inappropriate” within 24 hrs to ruin his reputation.

        Trump doesn't like listening to rule followers. If Mr. Flood is a true professional who won't cut corners Trump will lose interest in him. And quick.
