      McGahn "cooperated" bc he has legal exposure and he's not going down for Trump. To know if he really "cooperated," we'd need to know if he revealed conspiracy related evidence that he has less exposure on.

          McGahn had to be a source for this report. Cannot even imagine Maggie would skip that question.

          White House misinformation. Mac has strong casino ties. He is not going to fold like that. He gave them enough to look like he was cooperating and not enough to damage POTUS.

          Well Mueller knows the difference. Trump can't order MaGahn to tell Maggie these things yet I can't imagine why Mac would do it on his own. Why didn't Maggie report context of this piece? Is she doing Trump's bidding again? Come on @maggieNYT why this why now?

          He was interviewed for 30 hours. If he had nothing interesting to tell Mueller, it's hard to see how it would have taken 30 hours. And if as reported he was fearful of being the fall guy, that must mean something happened that someone needs to take a fall over.
