In the long run, what will save us from @realDonaldTrump will be that there is no honor among thieves. Especially when the head thief is such a jerk. Eventually Trump will be taken down by his own people, trying to save their own skins. https://t.co/QJmULELTjZ

This belief of Don McGahn is absolutely correct. "As White House counsel, not a personal lawyer, he viewed his role as protector of the presidency, not of Mr. Trump."

I allowed White House Counsel Don McGahn, and all other requested members of the White House Staff, to fully cooperate with the Special Counsel. In addition we readily gave over one million pages of documents. Most transparent in history. No Collusion, No Obstruction. Witch Hunt!

BREAKING: White House General Counsel Don McGahn has spent 30 hours over the past 9 months interviewing with Mueller’s investigators. McGahn feared Trump would set him up as the fall guy for the obstruction part of Mueller’s probe, so he gave Mueller’s team everything he has.

Wild. NYT reports Don McGahn and his lawyer grew suspicious of Trump, thinking Trump wanted him to be the fall guy in the Russia probe. McGahn didn't want to be the next John Dean. So he fully cooperated, thinking it was the only way to protect himself. https://t.co/6qHUQzX3A6

How can McGahn, possibly a key witness against Trump, operate effectively as his advisor on ethical issues, financial disclosures, conflicts & other WH Counsel responsibilities? For instance, he’s the point man on pardons. Why would he stay on? https://t.co/HgrpQI11KD

In at least 3 voluntary interviews totaling 30 hours, W.H. counsel Don McGahn described Trump's furor toward the Russia investigation, NYT reports—including Trump's comments and actions during Comey's firing and his urging of Sessions to oversee the probe. https://t.co/6qHUQzX3A6

McGahn was leery of becoming Trump’s John Dean. So, after Cobb and Dowd encouraged cooperation with Mueller, McGahn - fearful he was being set up for blame on obstruction issues - talked and talked. @nytmike and me https://t.co/g0rA69t8ak

This is quite a @nytmike @maggieNYT story: Trump’s White House counsel Don McGahn decided to cooperate extensively with Mueller out of fear Trump was setting him up to take the fall for obstruction, NYT reports; Trump may not be aware: https://t.co/5GmpjmYHAD pic.twitter.com/hu9ofovhCn

Trump allies for months questioned veracity of our reporting on what McGahn told Mueller about Trump telling McGahn to have Rosenstein fire Mueller. He’s been a key witness, and WH didn’t understand extent of it @nytmike and me https://t.co/g0rA69t8ak

Mueller's team has a great cooperator in the White House: Trump's top lawyer, Don McGahn. Trump and McGahn have a complicated, mutually beneficial but ultimately terrible relationship -- so bad McGahn calls Trump "King Kong" behind his back. w/@maggieNYT https://t.co/GGss1IlqLE
