BREAKING, as always: John Dowd, Trump's lead attorney in Mueller probe, resigns

[Trotsky]

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's lead lawyer, John Dowd, has resigned from the President's personal legal team handling the response to the Russia investigation.

"I love the President and wish him well," Dowd said in a statement to CNN.
Dowd's resignation comes as Trump has stepped up his attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller and days after Dowd said in a statement the investigation should end, initially claiming he was speaking for the President before saying he was only speaking for himself.

Trump's attorneys are in the midst of negotiations with the special counsel's team over a potential interview with the President.
It was not immediately clear who would take over as the President's lead personal attorney, but Trump earlier this week hired another veteran Washington attorney, Joseph diGenova, to join his legal team. diGenova was expected to play a forward-facing role on the legal team, filling what Trump felt was a lack of voices publicly defending him and challenging the special counsel. DiGenova had publicly argued that Trump had been "framed" by FBI and Justice Department officials.
The New York Times and The Washington Post first reported Dowd's resignation.

He was forced out when Trump hired that Fox CT spewing nut to be his co-lead. Trump doesn't actually have the guts to fire people - that was just a reality show gimmick - so he makes your professional life so miserable that you quit.
