White House counsel has spent 30 hours sharing details for Mueller probe:
The Hill ^ | 8/18/2018 | TAL AXELROD

Posted on 08/18/2018 2:54:24 PM PDT by Beave Meister

White House counsel Donald McGahn has been cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller in his probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to an explosive New York Times report published Saturday.

McGahn has reportedly discussed accounts of multiple episodes at the center of Mueller's probe into whether President Trump obstructed justice. Sources told the Times that McGahn has had three voluntary interviews with Mueller's team totaling 30 hours.

Among the episodes McGahn reportedly discussed with investigators is Trump’s firing last year of former FBI Director James Comey and the president's repeated urging of Attorney General Jeff Sessions to claim oversight of the special counsel despite his recusal from Russia probes.

Mueller must end this charade ASAP. This has gone on way too long. What does Mueller not understand of the IG report?

Nothing burger. No need to question potus. What did this guy say? NOTHING !!! There is no crime of “Russian Collusion” . There is no way a president obstructs the justice that he heads!! He is JUSTICE !!What you see here is Muller is in HUGE trouble in the Manafort Trial failure and knows it . Desperate, and after months and months of cooperation and 1 million documents they create the illusion that this means something. It means nothing!!! What the hell did he say since Mueller is leaking like a damned sieve that could possibly be a crime? They are desperate now. The president cannot obstruct justice!! Where is that damned criminal hillary?

The FBI director serves at the pleasure of the president.

A**hole Comey deserved to be fired for plotting against candidate Donald Trump, President-Elect Donald Trump and, after January 20, 2017, President Donald Trump.

Screw Mueller and the elderly retard Jeffie Sessions.

This is a huge yawn. Nobody cares about this. The Question is why did mamosa keep working at the White House if she “heard” a tape nobody has produced of the the President clearly saying the n word?

You cant! That would be “obstruction of justice”. By the way. If you harbor illegal aliens in a sanctuary city, is that NOT “obstruction of Justice”? If you fix an investigation into Hillary’s thousands of crimes, is that NOT “Obstruction of Justice?”. If you allow 2000 people to be shot in Chicago, THIS YEAR and sit on your ass, is that NOT “ obstruction of justice”? What is obstruction of justice? The president cant obstruct justice because he cannot obstruct himself!!

Let’s not forget that Trump fired Comey at the behest of Rosenstein and Sessions, who both wrote memos recommending that he do so. Subsequently, this weasel Rosenstein appoints Mueller to investigate Trump for doing what HE recommended that he do. The Comey dismissal also validated by the IG Report!!!

I don’t think that Franz Kafka could come up with a scenario more bizarre then this Mueller madness!!!!

The process needs to be protected, and in general, that's legitimate.

IOW, there need not be some underlying crime in order for a person to "obstruct justice."

That said, it is ab abuse of power to investigate without probable cause, but the threshold for "abuse" is set high, making abuse inevitable, and I would say "the norm."

Mueller is elevating the process over substance, and indeed over the overarching principle of the law, to do public good by playing an honest role in seeking justice.
