"He won't pay and he won't listen".

Apparently he would be the kiss of death for any potential future recruitment they may have.  But no worries, he's innocent right?

quite likely the same reason why his government is mostly empty and there have been numerous reports that he is having a very hard time recruiting people for what are normally coveted jobs.

In spite of the Trump lovefest on this board everyone else in the real world wants to stay as far away from this dumpster fire as possible

Do you think there is any chance that Trump is part of Obama's plan to collapse the nation?

No - Trump doesnt want to end the free market system and go to communist.  He may be a bufoon and crass and incompetent w his tweets, etc.   But his goal is not to collapse us like FAGGETbama was

Innocent of what?  He hasn't been accused of a crime.  There is no evidence he committed a crime.

Problem is many people in Washington are part of the swamp. And they'd like to keep it a swamp. Trump needs to bring in people that have zero connections with Washington.

It would be nearly impossible and unwise to have an entire staff made up of outsiders, but has done a decent job of appointing people from outside the beltway.

now let's see if they can actually do a "decent job" at their actual jobs given how most of them have zero experience in for the job (Devos, Carson, Rick Perry) or actually are opposed to what their agency is supposed to do (Scott Pruitt)

Sounds like a recipe for a cluster fuck

Are you kidding?  He would be stupid not to have someone representing him.  This is DC and he has an entire political party and most of the MSM on a witch hunt. 

What crime has he committed and where is the evidence of that crime?

If you have done nothing wrong, then you don't need representation then.

Ridiculous.  This is similar to your contention that if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be concerned about having your privacy violated by TSA. 

By your logic, anyone actually accused of a crime, but who believes they are innocent, doesn't need to be represented.  Absurd.

By your logic, I should go ahead and retain a personal injury lawyer on my behalf since I am going to be driving a car this week and eating food at public restaurants.

If there is no crime or accusation against him, why worry about a lawyer at this point?

My point exactly.  Why worry about legal representation if there is no crime committed or any accusation of any crime against him.

Most people would wait until AFTER you have been charged or accusations levied against you before seeking legal help.  Not before. 

Again, if preemptive legal representation was a common thing, I would be seeking out a personal injury lawyer before going out tonight.

A reasonable person might hire a personal injury lawyer if they have been involved in an accident and might be accused of being at fault.  Just like a reasonable person in public office who is has members of Congress accusing him of being a Russian spy should hire a lawyer. 

But you aren't answering the questions:  what crime has he committed and where is the evidence of that crime?

There isn't.  Which is my point exactly.  DUH!  If there isn't any crime, why hire a lawyer?  Or at least try to, seeing how these firms don't want to touch him.

Who lawyers up preemptively before any charge or accusations have been made?

So when you said this:

But no worries, he's innocent right?

You didn't believe he committed a crime?  And the only reason you are trolling is because you think hiring a lawyer makes him guilty (or look guilty) of something, when you don't actually believe a crime has been committed?   

If that's your point, it's incredibly naive and illogical.  Anytime someone is the subject of a witch hunt, particularly when it's conducted by people with unlimited resources, that person would be a fool not to hire a lawyer. 

Trump was smart to hire one.

Comey testimony: Trump team denies key accusations
Cody Derespina
By Cody Derespina Published June 08, 2017
Fox News
 
President Trump's legal team shot back at former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday, defending the president in a brawny statement against Comey's more damaging claims and even asserting Comey himself could be in legal jeopardy for his admission he'd leaked to the press alleged memos of confidential conversations with Trump.

Trump's personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, said in a statement that, while he was FBI director, Comey told Trump on multiple occasions that Trump wasn't the subject of an investigation and emphasized Trump “never, in form or substance, directed or suggested” that Comey drop an investigation into ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Kasowitz also denied Trump asked Comey for a pledge of loyalty, rebutting much of Comey's testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday morning and setting up a "he said-he said" between the former FBI boss and the president.

Kasowitz also cast doubt on Comey’s story as to why he decided to leak the memo after Trump had fired him as FBI director.

“Although Mr. Comey testified he only leaked the memos in response to a tweet, the public record reveals that the New York Times was quoting from these memos the day before the referenced tweet, which belies Mr. Comey's excuse for this unauthorized disclosure of privileged information and appears to be entirely retaliatory,” the statement said. “We will leave it to the appropriate authorities to determine whether this leak should be investigated along with all those others being investigated.”

The New York Times wrote its first story about private conversations between Comey and Trump on May 11, though the Times made no mention of a memo existing to allegedly substantiate the encounter. The following day Trump sent an infamous tweet implying he had recorded the discussion himself: "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"

Four days later the first story appeared in the press citing an alleged Comey memo.

Though Trump did not tweet or make a direct statement about Comey’s testimony, he did reference fighting back during a speech he gave to religious conservatives as Comey’s testimony was wrapping up.

“They will lie, they will obstruct, they will spread their hatred and their prejudice, but we will not back down from doing what is right,” Trump said. “We will fight and win, and we will have an unbelievable future. An unbelievable future. And it’s going to be together.”

Though Trump, a well-established prolific tweeter, has not sent a message from his account since Wednesday morning, he was certainly represented on the social media network. The Republican National Committee tweeted from its @GOP account, often hashtagging posts “#bigleaguetruth.”

“So according to Comey, @POTUS never asked to stop the investigation and Russia didn’t change a single vote. Good to know. #BigLeagueTruth,” one message read.

One of Trump’s children, Donald Trump Jr., was also tweeting a rapid-response defense of his dad.

Writing about Comey’s assertion that Trump intimated Comey should drop the Flynn investigation, Trump Jr. wrote: “Knowing my father for 39 years when he ‘orders or tells’ you to do something there is no ambiguity, you will know exactly what he means.”
