we have a $36,000 guy, i don t know any prosecutor that donated a $36,000 to parties. you re saying mueller worked with republicans and democrats, yes? yes, but hired a guy the justice department prosecutor, andrew wiseman, a complete xroun drel. are you saying hold on explaining that wooizman was unethical. people should know in. well, look, i think people would like to know the facts. any do. are you saying that the business conflict that mueller and president trump had, is that about his golf course? i m not going to go any further. is that what you think? it s up to the president to describe it in further detail if he elects to do so. or if mueller would like to explain why it s not a conflict, i invite bob to do it. let me finish. we waived the privilege when the whole thing came out because we re anxious to have you get
chat with his lawyers and him. harry, if you re conflicted to the the point where you can t represent the president, what s the legal propriety of speaking to him in this situation? none. it s if there really had been a conflict of interest such that he couldn t represent him, you can t play footsie with him in the way that they re describing. but you know, joseph digenova was hired on a monday and he withdraws on a friday. no lawyer, no lawyer takes an engagement like this without having checked conflicts first. and his statements in withdrawing were kind of squirrely. so i suspect we have a soft conflict, a business conflict, or that s a charade for a whole different reason. but if he s truly conflicted in the ethical sense of the term, he s just got to say 6 miles away. obviously that s not the case. and, of course, with every new person who comes forward to play trump s lawyer, we have a whole new style, strategy, and t withdraws on a friday. no lawyer, no lawyer takes an engag
having checked conflicts first. and his statements in withdrawing were kind of squirrely. so i suspect we have a soft conflict, a business conflict, or that s a charade for a whole different reason. but if he s truly conflicted in the ethical sense of the term, he s just got to say 6 miles away. obviously that s not the case. and, of course, with every new person who comes forward to play trump s lawyer, we have a whole new style, strategy, and the bottom line is he s in the middle of a grave criminal crisis and he has not only no lawyer but no strategy. it s stunning. tomorrow, max we re going to see an actual sentencing for the first time in this case, and that s going to be a moment of reckoning for some of the people who have already pled guilty and others who know that they are in the prosecutor s sights.
the chaos, do you think that s why he is having a hard time finding qualified lawyers? first ted olson, the law firm has said that it has a legal conflict, not a business conflict but a legal conflict on the type that he had which precludes them from representing donald trump. however what i think we can read into what ted olson said there was this is a tough client in a tough situation. if you have a client who you can t be certain will listen to you and take your advice, for a lawyer you stand down to it. could it be because the reputation has been reported that he doesn t pay for his attorney or his you re nodding your head. that s always a concern. i ll tell you as a lawyer who
be in. business conflict soubds like oh, i have a previous engagements which kind of covers everything. ted olson is another one who rebuffed the trump here. this is what he had to say today. i think everybody would agree this is turmoil, chaos, and it s confusion. it s not good for anything. we always believe that there should be an orderly process and of course government is not clean or orderly ever, but this seems to be beyond normal bounds. so, michael, do you think that the chaos olson described is why he s having a hard time finding qualified lawyers? first, in respect to ted olson, as i understand it, the law firm has said it has a legal conflict, not a business conflict but a legal conflict on the type that joe digenova had which precludes them from representing donald trump. however what i think we can read
