''The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers,'' - Shakespeare
That was a quote from some character in a Shakespeare play who thought if a tyrant was to be successful, he needed to kill all the lawyers. Shakespeare meant it as a compliment to judges and lawyers, whose work instilled justice in a society.
Donald Trump may not be thinking about Shakespeare this morning, but he may be thinking about lawyers? A couple of his former attorneys have put him in legal jeopardy.
It has been reported that Alex Cannon, a former Trump campaign attorney and confidante of Jared Kushner, was asked by Donald Trump to tell the National Archives that there were no more "classified" documents at MAL. Cannon, suspecting otherwise, refused to do so. This made Trump very angry and led to a split between the two.
Then Trump found another attorney, Christina Bobb, who agreed to lie for Trump on an affidavit with the FBI that stated there were no more classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Unfortunately for her, in a search warrant of the place, many more classified documents were discovered. For a while, she pretended it was no big deal.
However, she has now attained a lawyer for herself. Her false statement on an affidavit may have put her in legal jeopardy.
If both of these lawyers testify about what they were told by Donald Trump, it may put Trump in big danger of an obstruction charge? Nothing good is going to come from the testimony of these two lawyers

I'll give kt half a kudo for understanding the context of that quote from Richard III. The rest of his post is :couch:- or :stoner:-fueled fantasy. Out of the almost literally myriad, "________ will turn on Trump," :jerkit:-threads on DU in the past 7+ years, how many ________s have died? Have any?
Now apply this question to people close to BJ-Billy and HilLIARy.

Considering how many career Congress critters, Rs and Ds, are lawyers, I've felt that quote held merit for many years. Of course, in standard DUmp fashion, kentuk only agrees with what he thinks helps his side of the aisle. Tribalism at it's finest.
