As the lies get more and more desperate, the rats go into overdrive CYA mode. It's every rat for himself!
The White House's chief lawyer told President Donald Trump in January he believed then-national security adviser Michael Flynn had misled the FBI and lied to Vice President Mike Pence and should be fired, a source familiar with the matter said Monday.
The description of the conversation raises new questions about what Trump knew about Flynn's situation when he urged then-FBI Director James Comey to drop the investigation into Flynn and whether anyone in the White House, including the President himself, attempted to obstruct justice. Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russians, a probe led by Comey until Trump fired him.
White House counsel Donald McGahn told Trump that based on his conversation with then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates, he believed Flynn had not told the truth in his interview with the FBI or to Pence, the source said. McGahn did not tell the President that Flynn had violated the law in his FBI interview or was under criminal investigation, the source said. (our emphasis)Coming on the heels of Rump's self- incriminating tweets and lame attempts to shield him from obstruction of justice charges (see posts below), this latest revelation bolsters the case that Rump fired Comey for the exact reason he cluelessly blurted to NBC's Lester Holt many months ago: to end the investigation into Russian meddling in our election (and the deeper, darker reasons for that meddling).
