Trump's reputation rests with lawyers

We've got to the position where a lawyer acting for a lawyer who was acting for Trump is making all the current running against the president, never mind Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Xi Zinping and the rest. Trump must be sick of lawyers, law enforcement type people, the whole of the Justice Department and don't mention the FBI. One moment Trump has a highly trusted fixer lawyer, Michael Cohen who knows everything but is totally on the president's side, the next, the same lawyer fixer lawyer is spilling all the beans to the FBI and it's revealed the FBI have got their hands on a tape which has the president talking about covering up the details of an alleged affair with some busty woman and talking about writing a large cheque - not cash - to keep her quiet. No cheque was actually written apparently. So Michael Cohen who made the tape, presumably thinking of his future, has to have his own lawyer to defend his position, so Trump now has two more lawyers to hate and shout at. Remember, Cohen was the guy who paid off Stormy Daniels, the "exotic" dancer, with a nice fat sum ($130,000). She too claimed a Trump sort-of affair. Lawyers lawyers lawyers. This is Trump's future for ever.
