Fired FBI Director James Comey has retained former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as one of his personal attorneys, bringing in a heavy-hitting former prosecutor, close friend and longtime colleague to help him navigate his dramatic role as a potential witness in the investigation of President Trump’s campaign and potential obstruction of justice.
Two Capitol Hill sources independently told TPM that Fitzgerald was serving as a lawyer for Comey. After publication, Fitzgerald confirmed that he “has been part of Mr. Comey’s legal team since May 2017.”
Damn! James Comey has chosen one of the best prosecutors in the country to assist him.
Comey and Fitzgerald go way back, and in fact Comey is the one who chose Fitzgerald to serve as a Special Counsel during the Bush Administration.
The target of that investigation was Scooter Libby, who Fitzgerald saw convicted, and who Trump just recently pardoned.
I have to imagine that Fitzgerald is not feeling terribly generous toward the man who erased all of his hard work, and Trump has NOBODY on his team who can go toe to toe with this guy.
