WH officials fear colleagues are wearing a wire for Mueller: report

Source: The Hill

Officials working in the White House are reportedly worried that colleagues may be wearing a wire for special counsel Robert Mueller.

The special counsel's probe into possible connections between President Trump and Russia has caused rising tensions between White House Counsel Don McGahn and Ty Cobb, a lawyer who joined the administration to handle the Mueller probe, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Cobb has urged the administration to hand over as many documents as it can for the special counsels probe, while McGahn is worried about precedents that could weaken the White House for future administrations, the report said.

This tension has reportedly led to officials privately saying they thought colleagues could be wearing a wire to record conversations for Mueller, according to the Times.

If this wasn't so fucking funny, because of the simple fact of the delusional paranoia running rampant in this sexual predators domain, I keep thinking of him and that fucking McMaster with the codes for nuclear Armageddon and there paranoia

Then A) its time to fess up to being a TRAITOR
B) time to really fess-up because you are fucked and being a TRAITOR

Comey was wearing a wire, after all - a consensually hot-miked phone. Stands to reason that others would be doing it too, to minimize their legal fallout.

the ability to know right from wrong? And if they are fearful of being taped, sounds like they know they have done wrong, or abetting it.

Wonder if trump wants to pat down the female staff?

Maleria? SHE would be the one most likely to want him prosecuted. Then she could take her settlement check and go to her lover in tRump Tower.

Yes, Ty Cobb and John Dowd, lawyers for President Trump, we’re talking to you.

But it’s too late now.

Dowd represents Trump but does not work at the White House. Cobb is a White House employee who is instantly recognizable to many because of his handlebar mustache.

Together, they went for what appears to have been a working lunch at BLT Steak, 1625 I St. NW in Washington. It’s close to the White House and very convenient.

It’s also next door to 1627 I St. NW, which happens to house the Washington bureau of the New York Times.

Everybody look what's going down.

Just love that song, and it's so applicable to this so-called administration.
