Trump's Legal Team of Amateurs

Trump Is Defenseless Against Robert Mueller (Lithwick and Stern) from Slate
"Trump desperately needs a crack legal team. But his lawyers are no match for Mueller, and no sane attorney would join them now."
The last point here is key!  Like most of the people in Trump's administration, his legal team is a crew of second-rate, self-dealing sycophants ... who have kept Trump happy by telling him what he wants to hear (e.g. the investigation will be over by Thanksgiving, etc.).  What's going to happen when Mueller's indictment missiles start landing on Kushner, Don Jr. and himself?  I would not want to be in their shoes.  Mueller has stacked his legal lineup with a Murderer's Row team.  What has Trump got?  A political AA-ball team from Rochester?  Nuggetsman.
