Some reports suggest that there were serious divisions within Trump's advisors when they were discussing Trump's planned phone call. Like all cowards, Trump has a history of fully expecting others -- even those closest to him -- to fall on the sword for him. That includes his belief people should be willing to be incarcerated to protect him. We will soon witness him throwing Rudy under the bus.
But others aren't so willing to sacrifice themselves. Coates and the walrus recently resigned. Others are still there, but I am confident will turn on Trump before he can turn on them.
