((Dumb question: didnt he already have counsel? Wouldnt any rich evildoer secure that upfront?))
Good question, Yaelle. That’s why I asked counsel for what. Did he announce like, “in the matter of blah blah blah?” He should have somebody on retainer all the time, neh? Not really sure how it works in that world.
Yes. His usual counsel may not be the current counsel. In fact internet rumors say that he named someone else implicated so that person couldn’t testify against Obama due to client counsel privilege. After that rumor started another one came out saying someone else in the swamp jumped on that tactic and named a co-conspirator as their counsel. Sounds like it may be true. It’s kind of embarrassing that these people are all lawyers and know these games.
