White House Asked McGahn to Declare Trump Never Obstructed Justice - The New York Times

WASHINGTON — White House officials asked at least twice in the past month for the key witness against President Trump in the Mueller report, Donald F. McGahn II, to say publicly that he never believed the president obstructed justice, according to two people briefed on the requests.

Mr. McGahn, who was the president’s first White House counsel, declined, one of the people said. His reluctance angered Mr. Trump, who believed that Mr. McGahn showed disloyalty by telling investigators for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, about Mr. Trump’s attempts to maintain control over the Russia investigation.

This is a recurring theme with trump. After his "inauguration with a record-setting attendance" he asked Mexico's president to go along with the lie that "Mexico would pay for the wall".

No wonder trump doesn't want McGann to testify, McGann can expose trump's criminality and idiocy in person!

Wow.

Oh wait...…


New York Times.


It also brings up: So what?

Wow.

New York Times.

So if Donald Trump didn't obstruct justice, why wouldn't McGahn just say so? He was his lawyer, after all.

 

[Acadia]

Another NYT anonymous report. Nuff said.

 

[JustHanging]

Wow.

Oh wait...…


New York Times.

Exactly! Everyone knows that the NY Times isn't a Trump approved media outlet, so they are by definition an enemy of the people!

Fake Nooz!

You know Trump has declared "Logic" an Enemy of the People, right?

So no way most of his base is going to listen to any.

You're assuming this conversation even took place. There is no proof of it, so the question is moot.

Actually, this is not a recurring theme with Trump. It's a recurring theme with the NYT and other Trump hating news organizations: Passing off rumors as if they were facts.

Of course, the useful idiots will believe anything, won't they?

It's not moot. It's in the Mueller report. Seems like it would be pretty simple for McGahn to go on national TV and say that Trump never ordered him to fire Robert Mueller.

Exactly! Everyone knows that the NY Times isn't a Trump approved media outlet, so they are by definition an enemy of the people!

Fake Nooz!

Actually people with the capacity to be objective know after a multitude of lies, distortions and misrepresentations from the NYT, nothing they post should be considered credible until its proven beyond any doubt.


These dog whistles are tuned to a specific audience the NYT has trained to make money from.

Just imagine Obama making a similar request a month before a reports release, then with a straight face say this alone wouldn't start an impeachment investigation by Republicans.

Open mouth. Insert pablum.

Just imagine Obama sending out Susan Rice to lie to the country, nay, the world, about how 4 Americans (including a United States Ambassador) were killed in Benghazi, so his re-election chances weren't harmed.Then with a straight face, say this alone wouldn't start impeachment.

Why does he need to do anything? It's the left who are committing political suicide via their insane actions.

IMO, I think it would be unwise to give the left the time of day by engaging with their juvenile antics.

Well, it would certainly help Trump, for one thing. Debunking the false narrative of obstruction of justice outlined in the Mueller report would give the left less ammo to use against Trump, don't you agree? And he's the only one besides Mueller who can do it.

it's over.

it really is....Democrats in Congress just won't admit it to the country.

All those promises about conspiracies ...broken.

no the target just keeps moving...never gonna end imo

 

[lwf]

no the target just keeps moving...never gonna end imo

But the target is focused on what appears to be a crime. All it would take to debunk it is a single sentence. Hell, he could tweet it if he wanted. How much effort would that take? Why not just debunk it and be done with it?

 

[haymarket]

Trump is such a crook.

 

[sangha]

Trump's so crooked that his own lawyer refuses to say that he didn't commit a crime

Why won't Mueller agree to show up for committee hearing next week? Its easy just a couple of questions and its over.

It's never gonna be OVER....ever...the hatred for this President is epic...off the charts.

There will never be acceptance by democrats ...ever

McGahn already testified for 30 hours. Trump was cleared by Mueller. It is time to move on.

 

[Virgil Jones]

In fact, the shoe is now on the other foot. Obama is under investigation, your side had a turn, you lost, now it is our turn. See how this stupid **** works?

So, no need to defend Donald Trump anymore? Just let the democrats win? Is that what you're saying?

I think there comes a point when one has to admit there is nothing anyone could do to stop the offensive the left is on regarding anyone who is not aligned with their party.

It's like giving a heroin addict $20 dollars on their promise they will just buy food with it.

Look where they are today? There no satisfying anything.

They will stop at nothing in their attempt to destroy anyone in their way.
