So remember that Trump tweet a while ago that Trump somewhat eluded to the Lester Holt/Trump interview possibly being edited?
Jay Sekulow is going that route now:

Man are they worried about obstruction or what? Think this there's any credibility there? I'm skeptical.

Speaking Wednesday on CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time," Sekulow said the interview -- in which Trump said he had made up his mind to fire Comey "and in fact when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story" -- had been edited.
"You know that when there are interviews, there are edits and there is a longer transcript, and I will just tell you without disclosing any detail that when you review the entire transcript, it is very clear as to what happened," Sekulow said.
"And the evidence, when you look at the entire evidence, you don't see it. I'm not faulting anybody running a clip ... but to turn it literally into a federal case we don't think is right, we don't think it's constitutional and we think the entire transcript -- without question -- supports the President," he added.
Sekulow also said this point has been brought up in talks with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators, but he wouldn't give more details.
"And I'm not going to give you information on how we provided it, but in our professional discussions with the Office of Special Counsel, we have addressed that on multiple occasions appropriately," Sekulow said
