Remember, DON MCGAHN works for the office the PRESIDENT. Not Trump. HE KNOWS what his job is, even if TRUMP HASN'T figure it out yet. Apparently refers to TRUMP as King Kong given his "fits of rage.
Hold on folks this is about to be a bumpier ride!!!!!
Trump and McGahn have a complicated, mutually beneficial but ultimately terrible relationship
-- so bad McGahn calls Trump "King Kong" behind his back.

DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!
White House counsel Donald F. McGahn II has “cooperated extensively” with special counsel Robert Mueller, The New York Times reported Saturday.
McGahn has spent over 30 hours in voluntary interviews with special counsel investigators over the last nine months.
The White House counsel reportedly shared information that investigators would not have otherwise learned.
“For a lawyer to share so much with investigators scrutinizing his client is unusual,” The Times explained. “Lawyers are rarely so open with investigators, not only because they are advocating on behalf of their clients but also because their conversations with clients are potentially shielded by attorney-client privilege, and in the case of presidents, executive privilege.”
The story was based on interviews with a “dozen current and former White House officials and others briefed on the matter.”

I just had a thought! I wonder if Guiliani (Trump's TV LAWYER) knew about this?? This just got a whole lot more interesting--at least to this "lay person".

John Dean sees ‘good reason’ for McGahn to suspect ‘Trump would throw him under the bus’
MARTIN CIZMAR - Raw Story

John Dean speaks on MSNBC/Screenshot
Former White House Counsel John Dean, the man who flipped on Richard Nixon and helped end his corrupt presidency, has been in the news today given the obvious parallels to the situation of Don McGahn, Trump’s White House Counsel.
McGahn has met with the team of special prosecutor Robert Mueller for extensive interviews, the New York Times reports.
While Trump maintains that he OK’d the meetings, Dean believes that McGahn’s enthusiasm may be “self-preservation.”
“I think there is good reason for McGahn to believe that Trump would throw him under the bus, since Trump throws almost everyone under the bus,” Dean told Slate. today. “I don’t think it is a reach to have that in your consciousness. And the [New York Times] article does say that he and his lawyer, once they were told to go talk to the special counsel, indeed did so, and were relieved to be able to do so, to explain McGahn’s position and involvement in these things.”
Dean says that “self-preservation is a real motive” and that he spoke to the press for the first time when he decided he would “not be the scapegoat, and they were making a mistake if they were suiting me up for that.”

Yawns. Smoking gun #574. The left is giving Hannity a run for his money. Who's next--the chef, the maid, the guy who has to pick up the acorns off the front lawn?
McGahn has seen King Kong throw everyone else in his administration under the bus.
He made himself "bus proof" by cooperating with Mueller.
Many others secretly have as well.
After all his roaring and chest thumping, King Kong will inevitably fall.
I like McGahan's analogy.

We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.
rac·ist
rāsəst/noun
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

Where is your partisan planet? If you want to see ‘not cooperating’ look at how the FBI doesn’t cooperate with congressional oversight. I wonder why they’re acting guilty?
The only ‘not cooperating’ Trump is guilty of is refusing to talk to Mullet. And the only firm conclusion one can draw from that is Trump’s not an idiot.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
