    The more I think about it, the more areas touching Mueller's investigation that campaign lawyer Don McGahn might have to *answer* for. I mentioned already accepting RU goodies at June 9 meeting.

        I also mentioned Roger Stone's "dubious" ratfuckery (sue me, Rog).

        I mentioned employing UK citizens who work for Cambridge Analytica w/o proper visas. But there's also abundant reason to suspect CA was doing most sketchy work for the PAC, but the PAC wasn't properly firewalled from the campaign.

        Remember that awesome complaint against Trump Foundation doing work for Trump campaign in NYS? Don McGahn has questions to answer about that.

        You know how Mueller is investigating the inauguration funding, all that big $$ coming in from RU oligarchs? Don McGahn.

        Oh. And then there's the big $$ from the NRA (Now a Russian Asset). Don McGahn might be expected to know about that, too.

        You see. Don McGahn definitely did stuff that exposed him to obstruction. But jeebus pete, the campaign finance issues behind questions of "collusion" are epic.

        If he wasn't then it's evidence they were hiding it. There's no good answer to that question for Donny McCourtStack.

        Yes. Which also raises questions about coordination. As Rog likes to boast, the case against him was dismissed. But not on financial grounds.

        What about Lewandowski getting donations from the Foundation to toss out at campaign events. Seems like more than simply the Foundations problem but also the campaign’s problem.

        Two tweets later--but yes, I had forgotten that until @bmaz reminded me.

        One thing I haven’t seen you mention is that one of the most important things McGahn did for the campaign was prevent a contested convention at the RNC Rules Committee and convention, which meant he must have been working closely with Manafort and Gates...

        I’ve mentioned it. That was first incarnation of Stone’s Stop the Steal.

        Late to this. But why do you think the times and post are both going out of their way to quote ppl saying Mcgahn told mueller he did not witness any wrongdoing by trump?

        Because there's a big demand for stories about the Russian investigation, and McGahn (or his lawyer) is willing to tell any high level reporters who call that he didn't tell Mueller of any Trump crimes.

        Meaning? He’s playing both sides? Trying to not piss odd trump?
