Cipollone Is The Mastermind Behind Trump Defense

The White House is working very hard to come up with a counter impeachment strategy, putting a robust team together. Responses from the White House have gone out vetted from the counsel’s office.  The office is spearheaded by Trump’s own handpicked Pat Cipollone, a veteran Washington lawyer who replaced Don McGahn in October this year.

Trump needs a breakthrough strategy for his save. He has been soliciting advice elsewhere. No wonder he has been receiving competing bids for influence by aides to help. But it seems he trusts Cipollone the most for his game plan.

The White House has been warmed up with the presence of many. You could find members of President Trump’s impeachment team, including aides from legislative affairs and communications offices. There is a predominant triumvirate of attorneys. That includes White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his top deputies, Patrick Philbin and Mike Purpura.

While Cipollone is said to be at work, within days of the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing an impeachment probe, the Senate’s shape doesn’t look firm. All the purposeful brainstorming has wished to withhold any kind of battery of witnesses to be presented in the trial. The talks have concluded to have a format in which the White House and House Democrats would present their cases, and votes would follow on key questions such as whether to call for fresh testimony. 

Cipollone is not known to open his cards too soon. He continues to protect the interest of the President and changes his stance, as much is acceptable. But he will look at ways to protect and control damage as far as possible. One will have to wait and watch as the time nears for Trump to enter the arena to present his own defence, without divulging too much information to the American public, another agenda on Cipollone and his associates’ plate.
