Trump has only himself to blame for 'boneheaded idea' to let McGahn talk with Mueller

1. I don't understand this whole argument. McGahn is not trump's lawyer. He represents the

office, not the man. On what basis would trump not "let" McGahn talk to Mueller? What power would let him do that?

2. My take on that is...

...that Trump probably "believes" that McGahn is his personal attorney, so he "let" him talk to Mueller, which he believed would "prove" that he had nothing to hide.

So it's Trump's faulty assumption that is on display here.

3. I bet Mueller is strategically exploiting every aspect of trump's narcissism and ignorance.

4. I share your confussion on this issue. Could Trump have gone to court to silence him???????

When I listened to former AG Gonzales I understood him to say that McGahn had the obligation to cooperate fully with the Special Prosecutor and that he didn't represent Trump, but the office of the presidency. It is my understanding that he advises the White House on the legality of their actions to protect the office from misused by those such as this fraudulent occupant. Personally, I don't recognized Trump as president since he willingly has colluded with our arch enemy that is determined to destroy our nation.

5. Squinch, as was said in the interview, Trump and MgGahan could have invoked Executive privilege.

That's for the independence of the Executive Branch, not for attorney client privilege.
