Trump asked McGahn to lie

[Grokmaster]

Asking McGahan to lie is corrupt. Do you deny that?

Bull****. Telling him to keep his mouth shut about private discussions is NOT.

By all means..TELL THE IDIOTOCRATS to START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS, for not wanting private EXEC. BRANCH MATTERS LEAKED TO THE FAKE NEWS.


PLEEEEEEEase…

Who will play Trump in the movie, "All The Presidents Lies."

Let me write the screenplay for this scene.

Trump: McGahan, you need to deny this report that I ordered you to fire Mueller.

McGahan: But Sir, it's true. You ordered me to fire Mueller many times.

Trump: I don't care! Deny this report!

McGahan: Sir, I cannot lie for you. It's wrong. We shouldn't lie to the American people.

Trump: [Furious. Slams his fist on the desk] Damn it, McGahan, this an order! How dare you disobey me?!

McGahan: No Sir, I won't lie for you.


Who do you think will play McGahan in the movie?

Yay, Trump 2020. LOL

Bull****. Telling him to keep his mouth shut about private discussions is NOT.

He told him to DENY that he ordered Mueller fired. That's not the same as keeping your mouth shut.

Take a deep breath. I know this is a difficult time for you. Your president is corrupt. Most of us already knew this.

THEY DUSCUSSED FIRING MUELLER...ROSENSTIEN , TOO. And? So?

He DIDN'T want is LEAKED TO THE ****ING FAKE NEWS. And? So?


Your DESPERATION IS PALPABLE...and the Tempest in a Teapot you are currently, DESPERATELY, trying to pretend " means something" is laughable.






"YOUR PRESIDENT'S" entire DOJ/KGB-FBI leadership (etal) will soon be wearing orange...

He didn't say he didn't want anything leaked. He asked McGahan to DENY what the reporter wrote. He asked him to LIE. He threatened to fire him if he didn't LIE.

Your desperation is obvious as you desperately try to deny reality.

After The New York Times reported that Mr. Trump had ordered McGahn to fire Mueller in early 2018, Mr. Trump denied he had done so and called McGahn a "lying bastard."

Mr. Trump attempted to convince McGahn to write a letter saying he had never told him to fire Mueller. McGahn refused to do so, according to the special counsel report. He also "shrugged off" the potential threat that Mr. Trump might fire him, saying "the optics would be terrible if the President followed through with firing him on that basis."

President ordered his counsel to lie for him. Deal with it.

Yes, the left is melting down.

The POTUS is not required to report the PRIVATE DEBATES he has with his staff to the FAKE NEWS.

Imagine if he had told his entire administration to LIE ABOUT FOUR AMERICANS ,INCLUDING A US AMBASSADOR..BEING BUTCHERD IN A TERRORIST ATTACK, HUH? IMAGINE THAT!!!
(IT WAS THE VIDEO!! )

PLEEEEEASE DEMAND that the House Politburo IMPEACH HIM..PLEEEEEEEASE.....

Be careful what you ask for. If it turns out that the only way to get to the full report for Congress is to subpoena under the auspices of Impeachment, then Impeachment may not be the political hurdle that the Dems think it is. Most of the Country wants Congress to get a full report that has not been redacted.

In addition, I don't think the Dems have been calculating the political impact from an Impeachment effort correctly.

Their entire opinion is based on the Bill Clinton Impeachment. I never thought that looking for and finding some "strange" in the form of a WH Intern and then lying about it in testimony was an Impeachable offense that would bear out well for the GOP.....not in the "its a man's world" environment of that time and likely not even THIS time. If Hilary had not stood by her man....MAYBE....MAYBE.

This is a whole different animal and if in fact the only way to get Congress a complete report in light of the fact that what we are really talking about here is Russian Election Interference, I don't think its near the political minefield for the Dems that the Clinton Impeachment was for the GOP.

Firing Mueller because you think "you're ****ed" and your presidency will end due to his investigation is corrupt intent.

Not if you are innocent it isnt. Besides, Trump was right. The investigation into something that didnt happen severely damaged his first two years in office.

Regardless, I was talking about asking McGahn to lie. Trump asked McGahn to lie. Are you OK with that?

If he instructed McGahn to lie to investigators it would be a problem. But he didnt do that.

He instructed McGhan to make a false witness statement. Who do you think such a letter would be destined for if not investigators?

So, it wouldn't be a problem for you if Trump only ordered McGahan to lie to the American people?

Surely, you appreciate how bad this looks. Trump ordering McGahan to lie and McGahan refusing to obey an immoral order.
