Don McGahn - you suppose he's trying to save his own ass?

[eleny]

He must have seen the writing on the wall and is giving the goods to Mueller. Saving himself some jail time?

1. I don't know if he's committed a crime - in fact, it looks like

he tried to advise Trump that Flynn's contacts with the Russians were possibly illegal. However, because he's the White House counsel and not Trump's personal attorney, communications between him and Trump are not protected by the attorney-client privilege. So he has to answer the investigators' questions truthfully and completely if he wants to keep his law license.

2. Yup, he doesnt want to lose his law license.

[eleny]

6. Yeah, save his license and also not go to jail for colluding with the mendacious POTUS

[eleny]

4. I thought that he'd have to speak up when he knows a crime was being committed

Surely this is an obligation that a lawyer has. Sort of a sin of omission for attorneys. But especially when he's interviewed by the Mueller team.

5. Just Missed john dean on CNN

Oh the irony

Is there a cancer on the presidency, DON/DON?????

[eleny]

8. You and Rachel - great minds thinking alike

She made that analogy and frankly wasn't too kind in her tone towards Dean when she mentioned him. So sorry I missed Dean on CNN. It's so close to home for him.

Hey, I thought you were going to watch a movie or sumptin"! Can't peel away from tonight's nooz, huh?

16. If he lied to the Mueller investigation, that would be a crime.

And he had already met with them and testified when the announcement was made that Flynn had pleaded guilty.

Then Mueller agreed to postpone his next meeting with McGahn, acknowledging that McGahn might need some additional time to prepare, given the Flynn announcement.

Which might have been a way to give McGahn a chance to consider whether he should change his testimony, in light of Flynn's decision to cooperate.

3. It looks like someone in this trashbag shaministration doesn't want to lie...how odd.

[eleny]

10. The rats must jump or drown

[Horizens]

7. In Fairness

Until we know otherwise, assume he's an honest man telling the truth.

[eleny]

11. I'm all for that

[marble falls]

9. Don McGahn - rhymes with John Dean.

[eleny]

12. lol!

[DeminPennswoods]

13. The FP story

says the the WH Counsel's office feels its being scapegoated. That certainly could be a reason someone leaked info to Waas.

[Turbineguy]

15. One thing's for sure.

Trump won't save him.
