Decades of service to the country's security including leading intelligence person on Osama Bin Laden raid/death yet these flag waving, rootin tootin patriots would throw him right the fuck under the bus because trump. Beta males like our alt-right crowd are killing this country.
This is an interesting article out today. McGahn is the White House lawyer but not trumps personal lawyer? Is that right?Mr. McGahn’s cooperation began in part as a result of a decision by Mr. Trump’s first team of criminal lawyers to collaborate fully with Mr. Mueller. The president’s lawyers have explained that they believed their client had nothing to hide and that they could bring the investigation to an end quickly.
Mr. McGahn and his lawyer, William A. Burck, could not understand why Mr. Trump was so willing to allow Mr. McGahn to speak freely to the special counsel and feared Mr. Trump was setting up Mr. McGahn to take the blame for any possible illegal acts of obstruction, according to people close to him. So he and Mr. Burck devised their own strategy to do as much as possible to cooperate with Mr. Mueller to demonstrate that Mr. McGahn did nothing wrong.
It sounds like McGahn explained everything he knew as an open book for Mueller. That's good for trump if he really has nothing to hide. He acts guilty as fuck, but if he isn't this cooperation bodes well. If this is a symptom of the chaos and WH disorganization then that doesn't bode too well.
In at least three voluntary interviews with investigators that totaled 30 hours over the past nine months, Mr. McGahn described the president’s furor toward the Russia investigation and the ways in which he urged Mr. McGahn to respond to it. He provided the investigators examining whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice a clear view of the president’s most intimate moments with his lawyer.
Among them were Mr. Trump’s comments and actions during the firing of the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, and Mr. Trump’s obsession with putting a loyalist in charge of the inquiry, including his repeated urging of Attorney General Jeff Sessions to claim oversight of it. Mr. McGahn was also centrally involved in Mr. Trump’s attempts to fire the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, which investigators might not have discovered without him.
McGahn is a government official.
So it would seem that Trump thought McGahn was his own personal lawyer and that he could set McGahn up as a fall guy.
Trump is clearly becoming unhinged with his Tweets. While an indictment/impeachment would be nice I think it would be better if his cabinet invoked the 25th amendment. Either that or all this stress is going to kill him. Any of those outcomes would be fine.
