Will Trump’s Lawyers Go After Jack Smith?

New York Times: “There is no precedent for a situation in which a former president’s criminal defense lawyers go almost overnight from representing him against the federal government to being high-ranking officials in an administration led by that same client — one who has regularly signaled that he wants to use the Justice Department to mete out retribution against his perceived opponents.”

“It is less clear whether seasoned former prosecutors like Mr. Blanche and Mr. Bove would follow instructions to do so, especially when there has been no evidence produced that Mr. Smith has committed an ethical breach, let alone a prosecutable offense.”
