BREAKING: NYT: Special counsel Mueller has learned of two conversations in recent months in which President Trump asked key witnesses about matters they discussed with investigators, according to 3 people familiar with the encounters. https://t.co/urjuWKttCn @nytmike @maggieNYT

In one episode, the president told an aide that the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, should issue a statement denying a New York Times article in January. The article said Mr. McGahn told investigators that the president once asked him to fire the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III. Mr. McGahn never released a statement and later had to remind the president that he had indeed asked Mr. McGahn to see that Mr. Mueller was dismissed, the people said.
In the other episode, Mr. Trump asked his former chief of staff, Reince Priebus, how his interview had gone with the special counsel’s investigators and whether they had been “nice,” according to two people familiar with the discussion.
Legal experts said Mr. Trump’s contact with the men most likely did not rise to the level of witness tampering. But witnesses and lawyers who learned about the conversations viewed them as potentially a problem and shared them with Mr. Mueller.

Mr. Porter, who resigned last month amid a domestic abuse scandal, told Mr. McGahn the president had suggested he might “get rid of” Mr. McGahn if he chose not to challenge the article, the people briefed on the conversation said.
Mr. McGahn did not publicly deny the article, and the president later confronted him in the Oval Office in front of the White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly, according to the people.
The president said he had never ordered Mr. McGahn to fire the special counsel. Mr. McGahn replied that the president was wrong and that he had in fact asked Mr. McGahn in June to call the deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, to tell him that the special counsel had a series of conflicts that disqualified him for overseeing the investigation and that he had to be dismissed. The president told Mr. McGahn that he did not remember the discussion that way.
Mr. Trump moved on, pointing out that Mr. McGahn had never told him that he was going to resign over the order to fire the special counsel. Mr. McGahn acknowledged that that was true but said that he had told senior White House officials at the time that he was going to quit.Comment

Between the Russia collusion and this, you Leftards are really trying to pick up crumbs. How about coming up with some solutions to real issues? It’s been over a year, and the Left still has ZERO to offer to the American people. Trump will crush the Left in 2020 and then picture Ivanka becoming first woman president... don’t let it give you nightmares...Originally posted by Tomjas View PostComment

Nothing capitalist when other countries charge taxes on US imports, but the US imports foreign metals and charges nothing? You realise the exporters have tax cuts in their own countries when they export, so they make a ton of money from the US, but it’s a one way street. Trump is leveling out the playing field. Free trade at the moment means the US getting screwed. Trump is keeping his campaign promise...Originally posted by Hype Job View PostComment

If Trump can be bribed from an affair from over 12 years ago who else can bribe/is bribing him? You can't have a compromised President.Originally posted by Vlad_ View Post
