    Jay Sekulow, Trump's unlikely lawyer

    I didn't know until tonight that Trump had hired Sekulow to be the lawyer under his lead lawyer. He's come a long way since being on TBN talking about Christian issues and defining Christian groups.
    _____________

    Jay Sekulow had a hectic day Sunday, bouncing from one news show to another to beat back reports that President Trump was under investigation for obstruction of justice.

    In a media blitz through four networks, Sekulow, a new member of Trump's legal team, repeatedly insisted that there was no such probe — an assertion at odds with stories published last week in The Washington Post and elsewhere — only to concede later that he doesn't know for sure. At one point he flatly contradicted himself on "Fox News Sunday," in a stumble that host Chris Wallace, a seasoned TV interrogator, seized upon for maximum effect.

    [Trump lawyer insists there is no obstruction investigation — but then hedges]

    All told, Sekulow came off a bit like a Washington novice, which he's definitely not. His face and his name are well known in the nation's capital and among conservatives generally — but not for this kind of work. He's an experienced litigator on behalf of conservative causes, especially causes dear to the religious right. White-collar defense lawyers, particularly those who defend political figures, form a small community in Washington, and Sekulow is not part of it...

    Yes, I watched Jay last night and he confirmed it. I'm very pleased. Now President Trump needs to hire David Barton as America's official Historian.

    "I'm not saying Sekulow is a joke. He's not," Marshall wrote. "There is literally nothing in Sekulow's professional background (other than perhaps simply having a law degree) which would suit him to the very specific legal task of defending a sitting president from legal jeopardy."
    Ha! And there's not much in President Trump's background that would suit him as POTUS, yet he's doing a fantastic job, better than the last novice in the Oval Office. I believe Sekulow will learn his way around Washington in no time at all.
