3. Not really. His latest full time team of lawyers are now the DOJ. On our dime, not his.

4. That's why I figured he'd have to find new lawyers, he gave them new jobs, can they do both?

Not to mention, unlike previous presidents who were VPs, senators or governors, TFG has no government experience, so he only appoints those he "knows," his attorneys, friends of relatives or those he saw on TV...
