From the article:
In an interview with The Post, former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giulani who is now serving as Trumps lead personal attorney dealing with the special counsel said the president did not force Cobb to leave.
It was just time for him to go, but hes still going to be available to us, Giuliani said.
He added that Jay Sekulow, another member of Trumps legal team, had the most to do with it.
Jay felt he need someone that more aggressive, Giuliani said. Thats not a criticism of Ty, but its just about how were going to do this.
Sekulow declined to comment. Cobb did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Cobb was retiring.
For several weeks Ty Cobb has been discussing his retirement and last week he let Chief of Staff Kelly know he would retire at the end of this month, she said.
In an interview, Giuliani said the president and the White House need a more aggressive approach as the special counsel pressures Trump for a sit-down interview. He said that Trumps legal team is going to push Mueller to demonstrate what evidence he has and limit his questions for the president.
Some people have talked about a possible 12-hour interview, he said, adding, Thats not going to happen, Ill tell you that. Itd be, max, two to three hours around a narrow set of questions.
Flood appears willing to take a more adversial approach to the special counsel than Cobb, who advised Trump that cooperating with the probe would help bring it to a rapid conclusion.

They have treated Muellers coup has some legitimate legal inquiry. Morons all.
Exactly. They have essentially given Mueller power he doesn’t have. Idiots.
What about Comey’s blatant obstruction of justice on Hillary. This is absurd! What about McCabe- Stzok and that mistress? for GAWD sakes!! You talk about obstruction of justice!!!
Sekulow is basically a P.R. guy, not a lawyer.

Even if they couldn't find any crimes, with the level of corruption we've all witnessed, they would surely fabricate crimes. This is a coup after all. This is for all the marbles
I dont keep up with lawyers so Im not familiar with Flood. Why would a Clinton impeachment lawyer be a step up somehow?
How is Ty Cobb like President Trump?
They both like stealing bases.
“Jay was hired on as advice counsel. He essentially told Cobb to retire. “
Jay’s advice is a year late. Has Jay been advising Trump to cooperate with Mueller for the past year? If so, he needs to go too.
Is Mueller going to send people to break into his office and home and confiscate all his records, computers, and hard drives?

I think the Marines who guard his house and office might object to that
Mueller, to Trump: “When was the first time you heard the word ‘Russia’? How old were you?”
“When was the last time you thought about Russia?”
“What are your feelings towards Russia?”
“When was the last time you called Vladimir Putin?”
“Have you ever had a White Russian vodka drink, or do you prefer Black Russians without the cream?”
“Have you ever dated a Russian woman or had any contact with one?”

That’s what this is getting down to. Absurd.
They can start off by demanding trump get the same treatment Hillary got - a quiet friendly interview where no notes are taken and a guarantee it won’t be used for prosecution.
Trump doesn’t do email. Let him twitter it.
He was only recently added to the team when Joe Digenova declined to join.
I liked it better when Ty Cobb played baseball.
Like all coup de tat is must be ruthlessly crushed.
I agree. Unfortunately, Trump’s idiot lawyers have let this coup mature and grow legs—We’re going to see impeachment hearings.
Nope. Simply time to crush the Coup with presidential POWERS!! Quit cowering and start slugging. This is a street fight and there is no running.
