Well, sure, who among us hasn't sought legal advice from an English major? Fitton has single-handedly walked Trump into an indictment, and there's nothing he can do to save him now.

Pretty amusing. Though I wouldn't give Fitton quite that much credit. By all accounts, this is Trump's m.o. when it comes to advisors generally - he goes from person to person until he gets the advice he wants.

I've run into developer clients like that from time to time over the years - they beauty contest various law firms until they find one that tells them that what they want to do is, in fact, doable. So they'll come in and say they want to get approval for X units, and if we tell them that they'll realistically only get Y units, they just move on to a different firm until they find someone who will tell them that they can get X. They almost invariably end up with Y anyway - just after a lot of brain damage and fighting.

If it hadn't been Fitton, it would have been someone else. Trump would have run through advisor after advisor until he found one that would give him the answer he wanted, rather than the right answer.
