While Donald Trump’s early legal team has followed the strategy of complying with Robert Mueller and others investiagtion requests?
Steve Bannon and others did not agree…..
With the firing of Dep. FBI Director McCabe and the firing of Director Comey…..
It seems that one of Trump’s lawyers seems to advocating for his client , The Presidentb to continue on a path that might be seen as a continuance of an obstruction of justice ….
President Trump’s personal attorney, John Dowd, told The Daily Beast’s Betsy Woodruff on Saturday that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein needs to shut down the Russia probe. This came in response to a request for comment on the firing of former FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
Why this matters, from Jonathan Swan: Trump’s team is going to war with Mueller. This quote amounts to a declaration of war, coming from a legal team that has always told Trump to be deferential to and compliant with Mueller. Folks like Steve Bannon from the start argued they should play hardball with Mueller and “fight for every document, fight them every step” of the way. Bannon told them it was insanity to expedite the process and comply fully….
Update…..
John Fowd now says his suggestion about Rod Rosenstein shutting down the Mueller investigation of his client was just HIS view…
That might play for some….
But his client Donald Trump has tweeted that he thinks things should go away
