Trump's interim White House counsel Emmett Flood QUITS

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Emmet Flood, who came to the White House to help me with the Mueller Report, will be leaving service on June 14th. He has done an outstanding job – NO COLLUSION - NO OBSTRUCTION! Case Closed! Emmet is my friend, and I thank him for the GREAT JOB he has done.

Fun fact:

Thanks to our broken system, complete with a non-representative and obsolete senate, the 54 senators voting to confirm the crook represent 48 percent of voting age Americans, or 107 million people. So much for "representative democracy," I guess.

Flood is an expert at defending a president’s use of executive privilege – something that Flood did for Bill Clinton decades ago.

the ONE thing that trump needs most right now, and his special lawyer is...resigning. And he only got there on May 2.

If flood is an ethical lawyer, he would not be happy with how FU-Barr is handling Trump's defense, esp. about "the President is King "message.

11. Trump doesn't need him anymore. He has Barr who will keep him safe by defying the Constitution.

personal lawyer you don't need anybody else to represent you. Especially one with the power to ignore the judiciary.
