I never trusted him. I do not entirely trust any of these career DC lawyers. They are all blinded to some extent by that depraved sub-culture in which they have lived, and thrived, for decades.
The vaunted Andrew McCarthy defended Robert Mueller (with his known track record!) - and then had to publish a mea culpa last year. Corrupt or not, they are all too close to that world, and too compromised by legalism.
Agreed. They are all in the same swampy social mix in DC, doing swampy things IMO.
