By Matt Apuzzo NEW YORK TIMES OCTOBER 28, 2017

WASHINGTON — President Trump is confident that neither his former campaign chairman nor his former national security adviser has damaging information about him to offer prosecutors, a White House lawyer told The New York Times.

“The president has no concerns in terms of any impact, as to what happens to them, on his campaign or on the White House,” said Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer.

Cobb’s remarks echo what those around Manafort have said: that he has no such information to offer. Trump has sought to play down the significance of Manafort’s role with the campaign.

“He likes and respects Mr. Manafort and appreciates the work he did for him during the three months he was with the campaign. He likes General Flynn personally, but understands that they have their own path with the special counsel,” Cobb said.

“I think he would be sad for them, as a friend and a former colleague, if the process results in punishment or indictments,’’ Cobb added. “But to the extent that that happens, that’s beyond his control.”

5. And he is known to lie to his lawyers

Poor Ty Cobb, he is in for a big surprise.

2. An innocent person would assert his innocence, rather than claim that it can't be pinned on him

What are we to make of this, I wonder?

7. Well if the pResident is confident I guess that's all we need to know, right?

Clearly every person under Mueller's microscope is guilty.

10. Seriously, if Trump "likes General Flynn personally," then I HAVE to think there's some dementia
