      5/ If McGahn told Trump firing Comey could create legal liability, that would be used against Trump by Mueller.

      6/ I said in the thread that his advice was probably something between those two extremes.

      7/ Cobb's reaction to Bertrand was very aggressive, calling her piece "exaggerated and/or fictionalized." Why?

      9/ his silence would matter. I imagine Trump's team would note that he didn't object to the letter. Yet as Bertrand notes in the piece

      10/ linked to at the top of the thread, Cobb makes many assertions but does not dispute McGahn objected to the letter written by Miller.

      11/ That's why Bertrand pushed him on that point, ultimately resulting in an angry email at 1:30 am from Cobb asking her if she is on drugs.

      12/ Several things about Cobb's statements seem odd, even putting aside his rude and unprofessional comments to Bertrand.

      13/ Why did he go out of his way to say that the Miller letter was the President's creation? Miller is not a robot and it's hard to believe

      Easy: There WAS a delay in turning over the doc, tho he suggests it wasn't 3 months. Legit excuse would be privilege.

      Replying to @emptywheel @renato_mariotti and

      If there was a ~3 month delay in turning over a document that Stephen Miller could be said to be author of, then THAT's obstruction.

          Tho fact that he said Mueller knew of letter supports the "noticed-but-privilege-waiver" claim.

          No privilege between WH Counsel and President in response to grand jury subpoena (see In re Lindsey, D.C. Cir. 1998)

          Executive privilege, not atty-client. Q is under what terms could Rosenstein turn it over, not Trump.

          And THOSE questions all seem to go to the issues Cobb is testy about, including voluntariness of WH cooperation here.
