Fired FBI Director James Comey has reportedly hired former US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald to be one of his personal lawyers.

Two Capitol Hill sources independently confirmed to TPM that Fitzgerald was serving as a lawyer for Comey.

Comey and Patrick Fitzgerald go back decades as buddies.

Comey is not just a potential witness. I believe he will be a defendant.

“to help him navigate his dramatic role as a potential witness in the investigation of President Trump’s campaign and potential obstruction of justice”

You need a lawyer just in case you get called to be a witness in the possibility of a crime being identified?

Sounds more like he is worried about facing charges for leaking classified information.

Wow the balls on this one.

Fitzgerald was Comey’s hitman against Libby.

Keeping it in The Family, he is.

Will he keep him on retainer for when he is charged with a crime too?

What isn’t being noted is that Fitzgerald is a potential witness in any case regarding Comey and the latter’s abuse of prosecutorial power to political ends.

He’s trying to shield a witness by making him his lawyer - same technique Clinton used with Cheryl Mills.

I am glad that the Federal Prosecutors in South New York, have shown us a way forward- get a sympathetic judge to authorize a raid on an attorney. Fitzpatrick will never see it coming.

Cause and effect

Guiliani joins Trump's Team.

Comey hires Patrick Fitzgerald.

But wait....Comey said "The Professor" was his lawyer.

Guiliani knows the FBI and the SD of NY inside and out.

Good catch. Would be hilarious if Fitzgerald gets a midnight raid and all of his client information subpoenaed. I mean with precedents being set and all.
