LET'S SING

President Donald Trump has added another high-profile lawyer to his personal legal team as the special counsel investigation heats up.

John Dowd, who investigated Pete Rose for Major League Baseball and represented John McCain during the Keating Five Scandal, among other high-profile clients, has joined the president's legal team, according to two people familiar with the pick. Dowd declined to comment Friday.

1. McCain was the only repug in the Keating 5, and the only one who stayed in office.

Don't know if that's a testament to Dowd's effectiveness or he was the beneficiary of a predetermined rigged outcome.

2. Hopefully he was smart enough to get a huge cash retainer up front. nt
