The White House Lawyers Up



The Baltimore Sun reports:
President Bush is bracing for what could be an onslaught of investigations by the new Democratic-led Congress by hiring lawyers to fill key White House posts and preparing to play defense on countless document requests and possible subpoenas.
Bush is moving quickly to fill vacancies within his stable of lawyers, though White House officials say there are no plans to drastically expand the legal staff to deal with a flood of oversight. . . .

Look for that word "lawyer up" for many evildoers who haven't indicted yet in the hookergate, Abramoff, leak case, 9/11, katrina, and so on next year....

SPB you might want to get some of those evildoers as clients. Gonzo will need a lawyer as he knows nothing about law. You might have to go face to face with Fitz. Now that's a picture.
