Several Trump Associates Struggle to Pay Legal Bills for Russia Probe

Already they are squeezing nickels.  The broad scope of this investigation makes Watergate look like child's play.  Of course people are innocent until proven guilty.  But I imagine if one purpose of good legal representation is to veer away from the possibility of prison, it's worth every penny.  They likely never entertained the possibility that they would *ever* be ensnared in this mess.  Some say it's due to hubris. When you're tight with the Big Guy you're invincible.  But that Big Guy is going to be looking out for himself and his own. Period. Every now and then when I come across a pic of Flynn in his uniform . . . what the hell happened?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

talkingpointsmemo.com:  Trump Associates Struggle to Pay Legal Bills

A person close to Michael Flynn told Bloomberg this week that the ousted national security adviser is establishing a fund to raise money for his defense. Covington & Burling attorney Robert Kelner is representing Flynn as investigators probe his lobbying work during the campaign on behalf of Turkey and his contacts with Russian officials.

Former campaign aide Michael Caputo is also having trouble paying former New York state attorney general Dennis Vacco to represent him in congressional probes, he told the Associated Press this week. Noting with irritation that the Trump campaign was footing the legal bill for Donald Trump, Jr., who met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer and others with ties to Russia at Trump Tower last year, Caputo told the AP he was using his children’s college funds to cover his own legal bills.

“Lucky for them,” Caputo said of those whose legal fees were covered by the campaign. “And unlucky for me. And unlucky for my children who are now going to community college.”

Community College? Oh the horror. I can't with them. I hope they have to flip burgers or sell cars to pay for their defense.
