<p><strong>Some in the White House </strong>are uncomfortable with the hiri=g of Marc Kasowitz \u2014 Trump's longtime lawyer, who was recently bro=ght on as outside counsel to lead the defense against the Russia probe. </=><p><strong>A frequent informal adviser </strong>to the White House said: =/p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"><strong>"There are some people</strong>=who believe he's the right choice, because he knows the President. And in =omething like this, it's good to have somebody you know and trust and can =ell you: 'I've got your back.' On the other hand, there are people in the =uilding who say that Kasowitz brings out the worst in the President. Kasow=tz is a bit of an enabler and spins him up."</p><p><strong>Concerns we're ring about Kasowitz</strong>, (who did not respond to requests for comme=t):</p><ul><li><strong>Wrong experience:</strong> Kasowitz, known as a New=York "street brawler," has represented Trump on everything from a fraud cl=im to defamation suits and against newspaper accusations of sexual miscond=ct. A number of advisers inside and close to the White House worry his tal=nts won't transfer naturally to dealing with the national security apparat=s in Washington.</li><li><strong>Inadequate supporting cast:</strong> Name= floated in news reports include legal stars like Theodore Olson. A source=close to the White House says there's not much chance of this: "All the na=es you've seen aren't going to work out."</li><li><strong>Says it all,</st=ong> from a source: "With lawyers, there's a pride in taking on tough clie=ts. If you are defending the President and came on board now, ... you were='t part of the problem originally. ... I don't think there's any sort of s=ench that attaches to that ... [T]he larger deterrent is the structure of =orking for longtime ad hoc confidant Kasowitz ... [T]hat's not a slam on K=sowitz, but an acknowledgement that he's been fighting different battles a=d played to Trump's instincts, which would not be helpful here."</li></ul>
