The Mueller probe was over at that point. It had been over for a while.

1. Trump is not an attorney, and needs legal advise on anything that may involve a legal matter. That includes basically everything; have you seen the libraries-full of books just of federal laws?

2. Trump was primarily asking the Ukraine president about CrowdStrike. That has 100% to do with the Mueller report, which was a (failed) personal attack against Trump. The Biden mention was just an afterthought in that conversation.

I'm not an attorney either.  I don't have an attorney on retainer.  I get that POTUS has a more complicated job than I do, but he also has a cabinet full of lawyers!  Including a solicitor general that's basically a catch-all for the things other departments don't think is in their wheelhouse.  What's the difference? All of those positions are paid by US taxpayers, are accountable to us, and have specific laws and standards to follow.  A personal lawyer has none of that.  Now the president is entitled to have a personal lawyer if he wants one of course.But the guy should not be looked in on matters of state, only on -get this- *personal* matters.

And there isn't a connection between Crowd Strike and Ukraine.
