      Yates:“McGahn asked me how he did&I declined to give him an answer to that.&we then walked thru w/Mr.McGahn essentially why we were telling them abt this&the 1st thing we did was to explain...that the underlying conduct that Gen. Flynn had engaged in was problematic in&of itself"

      WH shifting explanations for Trump/(Dowd) tweet Saturday attribute his knowledge Flynn lied to FBI to Yates (she testified she did not tell them), & the underlying conduct lawful: "It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful." (she testified problematic)

      WaPo report suggested WH general counsel McGahn supposed to return to be interviewed by Mueller this week. Should be interesting on question of why WH saying Yates told them Flynn lied to FBI. She testified she did not. Seems they know it from something else.

      He got the evidence later that week -- she was making arrangements when she got fired.

      So, why wouldn't Dowd have said that? As opposed to try to attribute it to Yates?

      I can offer no rational explanation for what Dowd did, if he, in fact, is the one who did it.

          Sure. But we only "know" he "lied" to Pence et al bc that was the cover story at the time.

          As an aside, who all has access to The Presidents twitter account? Seems like a potential problem if true.

          Crazy that Trump now has Dan Scavino posting the Tweet. One more person who has to coordinate their “cover story”. Will 2 people lie to FBI to protect Trump?

          IF Trump learned Flynn lied to FBI from someone else, they would not reveal it less it reveal that source. This was back in the era of the "low-life leakers," and everything they were crying about was projection.

          That Dowd hasn't been fired is a strong indicator that he didn't write the tweet for his client.
