With all the scandals being investigated by the media, its no surprise that the administration is seeking the defense of the high-priced lawyer. Neil Eggleston was hired in early April, and given his reputation, one might assume that Obama was seeking to get himself some strong preemptive protection. With controversies like Benghazi and questions about IRS actions, it looks like Eggleston couldnt have been hired soon enough.
