Increasingly convinced that the West Wing is wholly unprepared to handle the expected assault from Democrats if they win the House in November, President Donald Trump’s aides and allies are privately raising alarm as his circle of legal and communications advisers continues to shrink.
With vacancies abounding in the White House and more departures on the horizon, there is growing concern among Trump allies that the brain drain at the center of the administration could hardly come at a more perilous time. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s swirling probe of Russian election interference and potential obstruction of justice by Trump has reached ever closer to the Oval Office, and the upcoming midterm elections could grant his political adversaries the power of subpoena or, more worryingly, the votes to attempt impeachment.

once Jill Colvin’s name is amongst the writers, it’s guaranteed FakeNews.

formatting gone awry. just go to Zeke Miller’s twitter page and see the attacks on the President.
Is it possible to find a lawyer, communications person, or for that matter a journalist who hasn’t been indoctrinated throughout their “education” to be a leftist?

Less is more.
Too many lawyers is like too many cooks.
