Why doesn't McGAHN sue SHITLER for defamation & slander?

[UTUSN]

SHITLER does it over "nothing* yet SHITLER calling somebody lying under oath is nothing?

We have a running count of SHITLER's 8K+ lies, what about the number of lawsuits he's involved in?

1. Better yet, publicly testify and tell the whole truth.

[UTUSN]

2. Down with that!

[Leghorn21]

3. I know, right?? I'm hoping the one Don gets so pissed at the other Don that an open hearing ensues

and McGahn TELLS ALL

LET'S GO HERE

4. McGahn should just tell the American people the whole truth

and nothing but the truth about drumpf et al.
Revenge can be sweet

5. I like the the Donald is going after him.

That may make him testify when he realizes Trump has no loyalty, while he expects it from all of those around him, he does not have the ability to be loyal himself. He would throw is Mother under the bus.

[Mike Nelson]

6. He likes...

… Crooked Donald. He loves the judges they picked together and probably shares the same philosophy. He protected his President as long as he could... I'm not sure he would be anxious to stop the MAGA train.

8. Yes, Talking Points Memo has a similar take...

Josh Marshall points out that McGahn's whole career is based on services to the Republican party. He may not think much of Trump, but he is likely to push back to a Republican president, no matter what, so as to preserve his career.

12. Agree. And he is too worried about the millions his law firm gets from RNC etc

7. One thing a narcissist will do

Is gather all the dirt they can on anyone they think is an "enemy". I am sure Putin does the same thing. I think a whole lot of the people that surround trump have been compromised by trump and the Russians. They are so afraid to have "something" come out they tow the line, no matter what they really think about trump.

9. Here's the best reason I've heard

Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall has the best explanation:

Someone asked me this morning how it is that Don McGahn still refuses to testify to Congress even after Donald Trump is literally accusing him of committing a felony by lying under oath in his testimony to the Special Counsel’s Office. One point to note here: no one thinks that the White House can bind McGahn. The White House can arguably give him a rationale, legal reason to refuse to testify. But he’s definitely free to do what he wants. So why is he still doing Trump’s bidding?

The answer is as clear as it is depressing.

First, everyone knows that Trump is lying. Everyone. So there’s no sense that McGahn needs to vindicate his professional reputation by making clear or insisting that his testimony was truthful. There’s no downside because everyone knows Trump is lying.

Second, McGahn is a professional Republican. He’s not a big time lawyer at a white shoe law firm who often works for Republicans or happened to work for Trump. He’s a professional Republican campaign lawyer at the top of his field. His business and career is working for the Republican party. At some level he probably just doesn’t want to testify because as mad as he may be at Trump he still supports what Trump’s doing politically. But the bigger issue is that he probably fears that if he cooperated with House investigators his career would be over. And he’s probably right.

11. Democratic Party should offer him a job...

if he testifies...
