В команде адвокатов Трампа по Рашагейту замены. Уходит Тай Кобб, ему на смену приходит Эммет Флад (Emmet Flood).

Флад - сильный адвокат, со знанием дела. Ожидается, что, в отличие от Кобба, он будет настроен на борьбу с Мюллером вместо кооперации.

Fasten your seat belts folks. It’s war. I know Emmet—in fact, he briefed me during the Bush to Obama transition when I was coming in as special counsel & he was headed out. He’s one of the very best. This will be a fight for the ages. https://t.co/E7BjqxJGuE

Как и Кобб, Флад будет работать не лично на Трампа, а на правительство. Он также метит на место Дона Макгана.

McGahn, who knows Flood through their legal careers and work on conservative causes, has praised him in conversations with Trump and senior White House aides, seeing Flood as someone who shared his instincts and his wariness of overly engaging with the special counsel investigation, the people said. McGahn also views Flood as a top candidate to replace him should he decide to step down, the people added. McGahn has been reluctant to set an exit date, even as he has acknowledged to friends that he could leave the White House at some point later this year.

Другой адвокат из команды Трампа, Руди Джулиани, слегка потерял адвокатские навыки за 30 лет, что не практиковал их, и, придя на телевидение, наговорил много лишнего.

Рекомендую толковый обзор от Wonkette:

In conclusion, is Rudy Giuliani evil, senile, stupid or ALL OF THEM KATIE?
Yes, the answer is yes.
