      For the last 6 months, Mueller has been focused on Roger Stone, including (per Andrew Miller) his PACs. For 7 years, Don McGahn has covered for Stone’s pro-Trump rat-fucking. Yet in 2000 word piece NYT doesn’t mention that—or find out if that’s what McGahn’s 3rd interview was

      One does not need a secret source (or 12 of them!) at WH to show that Don McGahn's in the thick of Roger Stone's 2016 rat-fuckery. He's on court filings for them. And public record shows that's a focus of Mueller's investigation.

          We need a Marcy Wheeler op-ed in a major publication to rebut this NYT fiasco.

          Hello, long time reader, first time tweeter. Can you please define ‘rat-fuckery’? You use it a lot and I’m struggling to put your points into context. Thanks!

          I just looked up the term on Wiki (election sabotage) and the entry references Marcy’s use of it.

          Why do people assume McGahn was completely forthcoming with Mueller?

          @waltshaub is all over this topic also. Thanks to both of you for addressing the NYT fluff article. Background and context are important.

          Don McGahn's fingerprints are all over this, too: https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00580373/?tab=filings&cycle=2018#statements … There's over $100k missing from this account. Cheri Jacobus has stated that McGahn wanted her to sign an NDA about this account...

          Exactly - which makes one wonder why this sycophantic article is considered breaking news? And why was it published now?https://twitter.com/joeyandmosh/status/1030951256368537601?s=21 …

          Replying to @BobbieHill @elisse1313
          McGahn is a right wing ideologue who has been busy packing the Fed bench and vetoing the release of Kavanaugh’s papers to Congress. He helps Trump push thru deregulation via executive order, is adamantly opposed to campaign finance reform, and supports Citizen’s United.

          Is team Mueller's end game to ultimately prove they never intended to actually serve,do the actual job?
