Will Emmet Flood help trump?

[OliverQ]

I'm pretty baffled an actual qualified lawyer agreed to join his team considering what a disaster his situation and legal team is. Flood is well respected, and considered very good at what he does.

Could he actually put up some obstacles to protect trump from Mueller?

1. He won't last...

2. He probably could, at least to some extent, if Trump will let him.

However, we've already seen that Trump doesn't take advice from lawyers but only from that collection of morons on Fox' morning show. I expect Flood to give up and quit before long.

3. I suspect his interest is the Presidency and not this pResident

This may not be a bad thing. To take a President down when he/she has weak representation would always be questioned. I think Rachel mentioned more than once that the office needs the best and most thorough opposing sides so that the populace accepts the final outcome.

Flood may have taken it just for that. I wonder if he was asked before and demurred. Don't know.

Seems to be a respected power player.

4. Right. The sixth amendment is a thing

5. I thought he was too busy

6. No one can help Trump

He manages to continuously shoot himself in the foot despite not being armed.

7. He'll Bail

when Dump doesn't pay the bill. Or when Dump does the exact opposite of what he's advised to do for the 843rd time that week.
