Instructing lawyers: Good idea.

Publishing any correspondence about what you propose to tell them: Terrible idea.

If you’re going to instruct lawyers, you first need to find lawyers with the requisite expertise who are prepared to take instructions from you. You then give them instructions, confidentially, so that those communications attract and retain legal privilege.

And then they will ask you about things they need to know and, having considered what they need to know, they’ll advise you on next steps. Those communications will also attract legal privilege.

Though it will be a matter entirely for your lawyers and you, I anticipate that their first piece of advice will be: Now is the time to STFU be very reticent in publishing yet more material potentially containing admissions and inconsistencies that could be deleterious to your legal interests, even assuming that what’s been published so far hasn’t trashed them.
