Of course Trump is already doing damage control on this, but it seems the Without aging is about to catch a whopper.

White House Counsel Has Cooperated Extensively With Mueller’s Obstruction Inquiry
By Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman
Aug. 18, 2018


WASHINGTON — The White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, has cooperated extensively in the special counsel investigation, sharing detailed accounts about the episodes at the heart of the inquiry into whether President Trump obstructed justice, including some that investigators would not have learned of otherwise, according to a dozen current and former White House officials and others briefed on the matter.

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.

For a lawyer to share so much with investigators scrutinizing his client is unusual. Lawyers are rarely so open with investigators, not only because they are advocating on behalf of their clients but also because their conversations with clients are potentially shielded by attorney-client privilege, and in the case of presidents, executive privilege.

nice try on spin doctoring, sport. you do realize that as White House counsel, it's McGahn's job to interface with other branches of Government? i'm just askin' ...

now if Trump had ordered McGahn not to cooperate, lie or otherwise mislead and he reported as such, you might then have a case for obstruction.

all you really got is a nothing burger. again.

Continue to think that all you want. You will continue to be incorrect. The derogatory nicknames y’all have been using for each other for years are personal attacks, and they will not be tolerated anymore. Y’all have been warned enough times as it is.

I've been gone for a week. Evidently you've been appointed mod of this forum while out and have made a similar comment in another thread.

So without being nebulous, what's up? What staff instructions are being disregarded and who "isn't paying attention" and what aren't they paying attention to?

"Mr. McGahn cautioned to investigators that he never saw Mr. Trump go beyond his legal authorities"

He's really "rolling", isn't he?
