the times says mcgahn and his lawyer were, quote, stunned by that decision. quote, mcgahn s attorney, william burke, has explain head told white house advisers he did not appreciate the exposure and it was insane that mr. trump did not fight a mcgahn interview in court. but if you look at the president s tweets over the weekend, he says the reason he didn t fight the interview is simple. he has nothing to hide. and there s another part of this. the times says the president s legal team never got mcgahn s version of events ahead of time. so that s left them in a position where they believe that the white house counsel didn t put the president in legal jeopardy but they re not sure. here s rudy giuliani on meet the press. we have a good sense, obviously, of what mr. mcgahn testified to. i can figure it out from how do you say that good sense? have you debriefed him? no, but mr. dowd has a good sense of it. he talked to them at the time. so you don t know what ....

That s going to wrap it up. well, that s like running a football and getting stuff ted line of scrimmage. it didn t work out as well as they wanted to. so it was a tough call. legally, from my lens, i thought it was very surprising they would go in there and waive privilege like that. clearly, mcgahn s folks, it was absolutely stunning. and the other astonish thing is mcgahn and his lawyer were worried because of a conversation that had been overheard. right. that trump is actually setting mcgahn up. said if there was going to be something about obstruction, it was going to mcgahn and not to trump himself. but they sent him out to cooperate fully. he talked to them for more than 30 hours. what are the chance there s nothing in there? this is a story that s capable of two wildly different interpretations. they say, oh, my god, he was there 30 hours. but the flip side is wait, he was there 30 hours. they were being cooperative. ....

This incredible new reporting on don mcgahn. he is the lawyer for the office of the presidency. giving bob mueller his account of what s gone on inside the west wing. has he flipped on the president of the united states for all intents and purposes? i ve got a great team to help me break it all down. let s explain where things stand first though. we have learned a lot about bob mueller s investigation just in the past couple of days. it started with that new york times reporting that white house counsel don mcgahn had spoken to mueller least three times, spending 30 hours with the special counsel investigators. why is that important? because mcgahn has had a front row seat to many of the key incidents mueller is investigating. that includes the firing of jim comey and the president s attempts to gain some measure of control over the russia investigation. that s what the new york times is describing as, quote, the president s most intimate ....
