I would post it again, but I searched first and seen it posted about four times already.
But,
Before posting, I had looked a little deeper at the attorneys who represented the President as Chief Counsel. Here are some interesting dots:
Pasquale Anthony "Pat" Cipollone (born May 6, 1966) is an American attorney who served as White House Counsel for President Donald Trump from December 10, 2018 – January 20, 2021.
He was a law clerk for Judge Danny Boggs of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit from 1991–1992, and served as an assistant to Attorney General William P. Barr from 1992–1993.
Cipollone was a partner at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis. He succeeded Don McGahn who left office on October 17, 2018. On January 31, 2020, it was reported that Cipollone was present at a May 2019 White House meeting where President Trump directed his national security adviser John Bolton to "extract damaging information on Democrats from Ukrainian officials.
In January 2021 Cipollone was present at a White House meeting to discuss whether Trump should replace acting attorney general Jeffrey A. Rosen with Jeffrey Clark, the acting head of the Justice Departments Civil Division, who unlike Rosen was willing to pursue Trump’s claims of election fraud and take other actions to help Trump overturn the 2020 election results. Cipollone reportedly argued against replacing Rosen, and strongly objected to a letter Clark wanted to send to Georgia state legislators urging them to void Biden’s win in their state. One official later said, "Pat pretty much saved Rosen’s job that day."

Chris Christie Urges Trump To Keep Sidney Powell And 'Dangerous' Michael Flynn 'Out Of The Oval Office'
"One of those Republicans who certainly isn’t a fan of Powell’s is former Trump adviser and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who during a weekend CNN interview pleaded with President Donald Trump to keep Powell and former national security adviser Michael Flynn out of the White House.
"Christie’s warning to the president came after it was reported over the weekend that Powell, Flynn, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and many others involved in the ongoing election-related legal challenges all met at the White House on Friday, which was reportedly a heated meeting that was described as “raucous.”"
Donald Francis McGahn II (/dɒn məˈɡæn/; born June 16, 1968) is an American lawyer who served as White House Counsel for U.S. President Donald Trump, from the day of Trump's inauguration through October 17, 2018, when McGahn resigned.
After graduation from law school, McGahn worked in campaign finance law at the Washington, D.C. office of law firm Patton Boggs.[15] From 1999 to 2008, McGahn was chief counsel for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
McGahn personally recommended Trump nominate Neil Gorsuch to replace Antonin Scalia and Brett Kavanaugh to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Gorsuch's first official interview with Trump staff was on January 5, 2017 when McGahn met with him in Trump Tower. Trump and McGahn met with him on January 14, 2017. McGahn called Gorsuch on January 27, 2017 to tell him that he had been selected as the nominee.[27] Gorsuch was sworn in on Monday April 10, 2017.[28] McGahn also recommended the nomination of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta. Acosta was sworn in on April 28, 2017.[29]
According to The New York Times, McGahn conveyed instructions from President Trump to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, requesting Sessions not to recuse himself from overseeing investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election.[31] McGahn was unaware that Sessions had already consulted with career attorneys at the Department of Justice. When Sessions informed him he had already decided to recuse himself, McGahn ceased further discussion of the topic.[32] In response to this, Walter Shaub, former director of the United States Office of Government Ethics, said McGahn had "done much to undermine anticorruption mechanisms in this country." Shaub said, "It is a crime for a federal employee to participate in a particular matter in which he has a financial interest."[33]
In January 2018 The New York Times reported that in June 2017, the president asked McGahn to instruct top Justice Department officials to dismiss special counsel Robert Mueller, and that McGahn refused, instead threatening to resign.[34][35][36][37][38]
In November 2018 it was reported that in spring 2018, Trump told McGahn that he wanted the Justice Department to prosecute Hillary Clinton and James Comey. McGahn told Trump that he had no authority to order a prosecution and that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo to Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face possible impeachment.[43]
According to Mueller's final report, McGahn complained to White House chief of staff Reince Priebus that Trump was trying to get him to "do crazy shit." The president responded that McGahn was a "lying bastard."[45][46]
