Was told that that the deal to get Eichorst was pretty much made weeks ago, and was done behind TO's back. Apparently TO got wind of it, and that's why they did the press conference when they did. It's also why Tom said he wouldn't be involved at all in who they chose. Apparently Perlman was doing this without his knowledge.
So as we are now all aware, Harvey has made an extraordinary power play over the AD. Specifically TO.
This Eichorst deal was put into play 6 weeks ago or so. He came up Sept 9th and met with Harvey.
Once TO heard about Harvey's actions, he called the impromptu PC without letting anyone know ahead of time via proper channels. The associate AD's didn't know about it until the morning of the PC. No one in the media knew. He called this PC on Yom Kippur, which one could argue was out of spite for Harvey and forcing him to come into work that day. Looking back, you can see Harvey is annoyed to be there and this clearly wasn't planned.
This is what I had told to me today, take it FWIW
