Key line: “While Ekonomou has also worked on criminal matters, he has not handled cases as high-profile and complex as the Mueller probe.”

Fun facts: Ekonomou’s thesis was on Pope Boniface VIII, who called for a ‘jubilee year’ (military parade), declared both spiritual and temporal power (Congress, SCOTUS) were under him alone, feuded with Philip of France (Kim?) who had him killed! Even more interesting, Dante..1/2

...Dante, in Divine Comedy, placed Boniface in the eighth circle of hell among the simoniacs who sold church offices and resources to friends, family and highest bidders. Sounds familiar.

I am concerned about the fact that Trump is having a hard time finding lawyers willing to represent him. If Trump is convicted it will always be an historical footnote that he had poor representation. Even though I despise Trump I want him to have very good legal representation!
