MANCHESTER, N.H. — President Trump has decided to hire the longtime Washington lawyer Joseph E. diGenova, who has pushed the theory on television that Mr. Trump was framed by F.B.I. and Justice Department officials, to bolster his legal team, according to three people told of the decision.
Mr. diGenova is not expected to take a lead role but will instead serve as a more aggressive player on the president’s legal team. Mr. Trump broke over the weekend from the longstanding advice of some of his lawyers that he refrain from directly attacking the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, a sign of his growing unease with the investigation...
There was a brazen plot to illegally exonerate Hillary Clinton and, if she didn’t win the election, to then frame Donald Trump with a falsely created crime,” he said on Fox News in January. He added, “Make no mistake about it: A group of F.B.I. and D.O.J. people were trying to frame Donald Trump of a falsely created crime.”

“Hey, it just occurred to me that I haven’t seen Jay Sekulow lately.”
Jay was on Hannity a week or so ago. I like him. He is very good.
Jay is on Periscope from 12:00-1:00pm almost every day. He was there today.
Trump Hires Lawyer Who Believes World is Round and Water is Wet
Good name for a band!
I’ve loved Joe and Victoria since the OJ outrage. Great choice by the president.
Where's the lie?
Another is Ty Cobb, a baseball player who died 56 years ago.
LOL, no, no Buckeye. This Ty Cobb is the one that probably sits in a corner grooming his mustache........heehee
However many lawyers President Trump has, Deep State probably has at least 10 times more. And he’ll still beat them.
A far better choice than Sessions to get things straightened out.
DiGenova is the best. That is why The Slimes hate him.
And obviously there’s nothing else out there the NYT or the rest of the media could be looking into.
If Joe asked for info from the Justice Department and it’s not forthcoming can Trump step up and fire Rosenstein?
For example this is from February. DiGenova talked about Wray, Rosenstein and the supposed "independence" of the DOJ.
He also said Wray planted the story that he was going to resign. DiGenova said Trump should have just accepted it.
"One of the things that is terrible about this is that both Chris Wray and Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General, have done a miserable job as leaders in explaining why they're doing what they're doing," he said. "Why they can't do what people want them to do. Do you know what Chris Wray was arguing for today and yesterday? To remove the names of all the FBI agents and the DOJ people who've broken the law and are going to be revealed in the memorandum."
"But on what grounds? How would the public benefit from the reaction of those names?" Carlson asked.
DiGenova told Carlson the Department of Justice and FBI think they are independent of the executive and oversight from Congress. He called it outrageous.
"They wouldn't," DiGenova responded. "This is the arrogance of Wray and Rosenstein. They want to protect the bureaucracy. They want to protect the bureaucracy because they think the institutions are more important than you or I knowing anything. And they think the country cannot survive without them. This is this phony notion that DOJ and the FBI are independent of the executive branch and the president of the United States, it is an insidious concept. They work for the president. He can fire them. He can tell them what to do. That doesn't mean is he going to interfere in an investigation. But the arrogance of Wray and Rosenstein to think that they can defy Congressional oversight and ask the Speaker to take out names of people that have broken the law. How outrageous."

Trump can probably fire Rosenstein if he wants to anyway, but it sure helps to have legal representation with cahones and integrity, and Joe has it!
