re: #99 lawhawk

Olson is establishment GOP.

He also knows ins and outs of policy and the law.

He’s everything Trump isn’t - knowledgeable, intelligent, and rational. Olson could just as easily argue either side of any case he’s involved in because he knows that’s what good lawyers do. He also knows that Trump is the absolute worst kind of client to ever have because he thinks he knows better than his lawyers and will do whatever he wants regardless of what his lawyers tell him.

Trump only wants to hear things that he agrees with - and in this kind of case, that’s few and far between. Olson would clamp down on Trump’s tweets and limit his communications to a select channel through Olson’s office, and Trump would never go for it because Trump wants to try and prove he’s the smartest guy in the room (Narrator: he isn’t).

Oh, and Olson’s probably thinking that Trump will stiff the firm on billables.

Right it’s more than that. It’s standing up for Muslims and representing same sex clients pro Bono challenging Prop 8. He’s done a lot in his retirement from presidential administrations that he hasn’t had to and I like him for that. But you got that right.
