9. Trump's original legal team

"Mr. McGahn’s cooperation began in part as a result of a decision by Mr. Trump’s first team of criminal lawyers to collaborate fully with Mr. Mueller. The president’s lawyers have explained that they believed their client had nothing to hide and that they could bring the investigation to an end quickly.

Maybe they believed their client when he told them "I've done nothing wrong" (because he really doesn't understand that firing people investigating you is obstruction of justice).
