Even Fox News is slamming Trump after John Dowd quit 11 days after president called reports of a shakeup ‘false’

In yet another stunning shakeup, John Dowd—Donald Trump’s lead outside lawyer for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation—announced his resignation from the legal team, a mere 11 days after the president insisted he’s “VERY happy” with his attorneys.

On March 11, Trump tried to push back on a “false story” in the New York Times that indicated the president was “frustrated with his team’s legal strategy” and considering new options.

The news of Dowd’s departure came just two days after the president hired Washington lawyer Joseph diGenova, who has pushed a conspiracy that the FBI and Justice Department are trying to frame Trump.

The president’s denial of the Times report, coupled with Trump’s new legal hire and Dowd’s resignation, was not lost on reporters—including Fox News’ Bret Baier—who took to Twitter to point out the president’s claim of “fake news” doesn’t hold up.

1. Rump has no clue who to hire to protect him, he has always used

lawyers who dont have to go to court but only have to bully and threaten.

When rump goes to court, he loses, almost always.

[exboyfil]

3. It is worse than that for him

All the lawyers with government experience trying these types of cases are either working for Mueller or sitting on the sidelines.

First plank of his appeal will be incompetent counsel.

4. Yes, that too!

Stupid fucking traitorous no good asshole and everybody who supports him and the dirt on his floor and the horse he is afraid to get on he woulda rode in on.

2. New hire, insane diGenova, was 2 days ago. Dowd bolts. Do the math.

Shitler and diGenova believe in the "liberal deep state". Dowd did not.

Shitler is surrounding himself with Yes Men. Incompetent Yes Men, but that is clearly what is happening.

7. Someone here speculated Comey was being blackmailed or threatened by Giuliani

and his team of traitors over Hillary and that is why he sent that bullshit memo to the traitor who illegally released it. Jason Chaffetz

I think Comey had it in for the Clinton's going back to Whitewater, but this might be part of it.

Overall what we have is a minority of Americans who's every instinct, belief and behavour is wrong, biased, destructive, etc.

I guess they are about 40% of the population, maybe less, but they are 50% of who VOTES.

Anyone we know who doesnt vote needs to be told THEY are to blame if this continues.

11. That is great news

Lock him up!

[Girard442]

5. Suppose diGenova insisted on his $$$ up front?

[Renew Deal]

6. Good for Baier

DiGenova probably just tells him what he wants to hear

[wishstar]

8. Cobb will be gone next as he was voice of reason, no way he and DiGenova can work together

[malaise]

9. That Ralph Peters resignation from Fox may have shook up a few rats

who must see that it's time to jump from this sinking ship.

This will be fun

[COLGATE4]

10. Dowd is no bargain but is still light years from

DiGenova in terms of professional skill. There's no way Dowd (and I predict Cobb, too) is going to work with a genuine, dyed in the wool conspiracy nut like DiGenova. DiGenova will be the fair-haired boy of the new 'team' since his only attribute is telling Dumpy exactly what Dumpy likes to hear. I think in the long run this move will benefit Trump's rapid downfall since you can expect to see Dumpy make every-increasingly stupid legal moves as Mueller's investigation progresses.

12. lol, I'd made a comment about this earlier (him claiming FAKE NEWS NO SHAKEUP) -haha

[ThoughtCriminal]

13. When you are so corrupt that John Dowd does not want to represent you...

Then you have really set a new level. This is what Down has built a career doing.

Dowd knew 1) His client is going down. 2) He will not get paid.

[gratuitous]

14. 11 days seems to be the pull-by date on a Trump deathless pronouncement

February 28, Trump says "Take the guns first, go for due process second." How long did that last? Startling, though, is that Fox actually noticed the contradiction this time around regarding Dowd.
