Donald Trump Freaks Out After Learning White House Counsel Working With Mueller

Donald Trump has engaged in a days-long Twitter tirade over the fact that White House counsel Don McGahn has been cooperating with Robert Mueller’s investigation for MONTHS, and he even sat for about 30 hours of testimony. Some believe that McGahn was simply turning on Trump before Trump could turn on him, but whatever the reason for this cooperation, it has Trump spooked, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump's been going a little crazier on Twitter than usual in the last few days, and there's a good reason for that. He found out, much like the rest of the public, that White House counsel, Don McGahn, has actually been meeting and cooperating with special prosecutor, Robert Mueller, for months, and according to this report in the New York Times, McGahn has actually sat down for over 30 hours of testimony and other talks with the special prosecutor. And that's obviously something that would make Donald Trump lose his mind. However, he assures us on Twitter, he approved that. He knew this was happening, absolutely, but he's still freaking out about it every tweet he sends. Yeah, that's not the action of a man that totally knew this whole thing was going on, especially when he compared him to John Dean, the former White House counsel for Richard Nixon, who Dean happened to be the guy that blew the whistle on all of Nixon's corruptions and kinda kickstarted that whole thing.

So to compare McGahn to that kinda shows that Donald Trump is very worried about what he has told Robert Mueller, and he should be, because here's what's happened according to this report. McGahn was actually worried that Donald Trump was gonna try and use him as the fall guy, claiming that he had given him bad legal advice, and therefore, that's why everything went to hell. McGahn didn't wanna be the fall guy, he didn't wanna be in that kind of position, so he preemptively turned on Donald Trump, or at least began cooperating with the special prosecutor. We can't say for sure if he's turned or if he's flipped or if he even had anything to flip. You know, this guy may be completely in the dark, or a little farfetched here, the Trump administration may have done nothing wrong. I don't think any of us actually believe that, but come on, until we get a firm prosecution, or the real evidence from the special prosecutor's office, we still have to throw it out there as a possibility.

Nonetheless, Trump's freaking out, McGahn's working with Mueller, and, and this is probably one of the best parts here, Donald Trump doesn't know what McGahn has told him, just like everybody else who's met with Mueller, and that is why Rudy Giuliani is making damn sure that Donald Trump doesn't talk to Mueller, because basically, everybody's already given him all of the information that he needs. I do agree with Giuliani's assessment that if Donald Trump goes and talks to Robert Mueller, it would be a purgery trap. However, that just shows what a dishonest human being Donald Trump truly is. Mueller, at this point, for the most part, has what he needs. He has the evidence and he has the testimonies, he knows whether or not those two things square up between the documents and the videos and the recordings, and what these people are saying, and if those square up, and Donald Trump comes in and says something to the contrary, that's easy purgery. So he doesn't need Donald Trump to go and testify. He doesn't need to meet with him.
