Mark Corallo, former spokesman for Trumps legal team, lawyers up

snip

In his book, “Fire and Fury” published earlier this month, author Michael Wolff reported that Corallo quit in part over Trump's role in crafting a statement for his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., regarding a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower the younger Trump attended to meet a Russian attorney promising dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The White House has offered shifting explanations as more detail has made clear the initial statement, crafted on Air Force One as Trump returned from a July trip to Europe—misleadingly said it mainly focused on the subject of Russia's adoption policy.

“Mark Corallo was instructed not to speak to the press, indeed not to even answer the phone,” Wolff wrote. “Later that week, Corallo, seeing no good outcome—and privately confiding that he believed the meeting on Air Force One represented a likely obstruction of justice—quit.”

He hired Victoria Toensing and Joseph diGenova in anticipation of requests for interviews by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team...

I know nothing, but it seems this guy has a shred of honor or integrity present in his psychological makeup - ? - - Maybe he has “a story to tell”...hmmmm

Now the circle is complete, and the grifters are represented by the grifters.

I wonder if Vickie and Joey were the last attorneys who haven't already been retained, and Corallo didn't have any choice but to hire them?
