OT: Another lawyers up!

[Alan Baker]

"Mike Pence, currently Vice-President of the United States of America,
has hired independent counsel to help him weather the dark cloud that is
the 'Russian election hacking collusion/obstruction of justice/Russian
cash for sanctions' investigation."

'The vice president’s office said Pence’s decision to retain Cullen
underscores his desire to fully cooperate with any inquiries related to
the Russia probe and is in line with what Trump has done in hiring Kasowitz.

Kasowitz has told some White House personnel that they do not need to
hire their own lawyers, according to one person familiar with some of
the legal discussions that have occurred inside the White House. But
Pence’s move to hire an outside attorney could set off a scramble among
other West Wing aides — many of whom are already bracing for subpoenas —
to do the same, even if only as a protective measure.'

Kasowitz: "Trust Trump! You don't need a lawyer!"
