Fact-checking Trump's claim McGahn was never told to fire Mueller - CNNPolitics
From multiple interviews with McGahn and others, the report states that after news broke saying Trump had ordered McGahn to fire Mueller, "the President ... sought to have McGahn deny that he had been directed to remove the Special Counsel." McGahn rejected this command and "insisted his memory of the President's direction to remove the Special Counsel was accurate," the report states.
-----------------
Trump said he never used the word "fired". McGahn says what Trump said was "Mueller has to go."
Is there a difference between "fire that guy" and "That guy has to go"?
If the end result is the same, then the intention was the same.
And now Trump (the world's biggest liar) is publicly accusing former White House Counsel Don McGahn of lying to Federal Investigators. A criminal offense. I suspect that could be considered "Criminal witness retaliation". After all, Trump, the President of the United States of America, is accusing McGahn of not only lying to federal investigations but committing a felony that could come with a jail sentence. Sounds like retaliation to me. Especially considering Trump is attempting to ruin this man's life. And all because McGahn refused to break the law. Or as we like to call it "Obstruction of Justice".
What do you think about that? Could that be considered a "high crime"?
Can you believe it? Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano laid many of Trump's crimes out for all to see. That means Fox Viewers watched this video. Even Fox Viewers have been exposed to Trump's crimes.
For Obstruction of Justice you need three things:
Nexus to an ongoing investigation (the Mueller Report)
Obstruction Act (telling people to do any number of things, I could list them)
Evidence of Corrupt Intent (Trump said publicly to make the Mueller investigation go away)
It seems William Barr will testify next Wednesday in front of the Judicial Committee over his conclusions in the Mueller report after saying he won't.
Why the change of heart? It seems Congress can issue subpoenas, which, of course, can be ignored. But ignoring that subpoena means possible arrest and a fine of $25,000.00
Not $25,000.00 total, but per day.
And Trump telling everyone not to go means further obstruction of Justice.
This is in the constitution folks. This is a fight Trump can't win. And you can believe such important cases will be fast tracked by the Supreme Court. If it even gets that far. Once a ruling is made in a lower court, the Supreme Court might not choose to hear it. Instead, it will stand. And the law isn't on Trump's side. The law is on the side of the Constitution.
