If you’re seen the recent news that in January, Donald Trump’s lawyers sent a memo to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office arguing essentially that Donald Trump can do whatever he wants because he’s the President, you might have wondered who in good hell would have thought such an argument might fly. Well, the answer is John Dowd and Jay Sekulow, two extremely conservative legal minds who have some, erm, peculiar priorities.

Shortly after signing onto Team Trump, Dowd forwarded an email around that espoused pro-Confederacy views, and refused to provide an explanation to The New York Times when they called him out on it. Dowd, who left Trump’s legal team in March, does not seem like a very nice person.

As for Jay Sekulow, when he’s not doing Trump stuff, he serves as Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, a right-wing legal advocacy group that’s basically the evangelical conservative answer to the ACLU. The organization has fought to criminalize homosexuality in Africa, defund Planned Parenthood, and has petitions on their site denouncing “Big Abortion” and the “Rogue Leftist State,” both of which are not real things.
