George would be spectacularly qualified to give legal advice to just about anyone on any topic…. My neighbor has a poodle smarter than some of the people on Trump’s legal team.
— Professor Joseph Grundfest of Stanford Law School, quoted in a New York Times article about the Twitter activity of George Conway, prominent Wachtell Lipton lawyer and husband of Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump (who sometimes receives criticism in George Conway’s tweets). Although Conway is primarily a commercial rather than white-collar litigator, Professor Grundfest still trusts Conway more than many of the lawyers to the president.
