Trump's lawyers fail to follow through on threats to Comey

[Princess Turandot]

4. Jay Sekulow may have had a heart-to-heart talk with Kasowitz...

telling him that the public bluster, near-defamation and counter-suit gambits that Trump so loved in his business activities will not help him in the current situation, no matter how much Trump wants to respond that way. That in fact, his histrionics/impulsiveness may well hurt him. And that threatening federal witnesses is pretty fucking stupid.

Sekulow's place in the pantheon of the religious right notwithstanding, he's an experienced attorney who has argued before SCOTUS around a dozen times, succeeding in several instances. Also, his lack of a prior relationship with Trump likely makes him more objective than Kasowitz, who has been doing Trump's bidding for a long time now.
