Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrumpThe Rigged Russia Witch Hunt did not come into play, even a little bit, with respect to my decision on Don McGahn!

(52,245 posts)because he thinks it reflects poorly on him if people quit on him, and he'd much rather be seen as an *sshole who goes around firing people.
in this case, i have no idea or opinion as of yet. everyone in that sewer has a reasonable basis to quit, and given how much mcgahn has talked to mueller, donnie could well have fired him because obstruction after obstruction is his thing. so either possibility makes sense.

(16,786 posts)The White House Counsel IS NOT the personal lawyer to the President.
Just as the Department of Justice IS NOT the personal law firm to Trump. Nor is the Supreme Court to be bullied into squashing the Russia investigation.

(11,885 posts)It really was the reason he's leaving , and he was already leaving but trump wanted to claim he was being fired to use when its exposed McGahn told Mueller everything on trump , then trump will claim its because he was a bad employee, and had to let him go. The truth is when he found out he was talking to Mueller, probably Sessions too, and now they promote getting rid of them for other reasons. It was all about Mueller and the Russian investigation when he claims it wasn't. He always lies like that when he sees troubles coming. Have you ever seen someone claiming to be innocent ever obstruct their investigation this much , and do so much proclaiming its bogus,and all a lie? Me neither. trumps going down the river for all this. His raging and demands are getting more and more meaningless now, and his power is pretty much gone as they all see his propaganda and threats aren't working any more.
