Despite earlier reports coming from the Trump administration that White House lawyer Don McGahn had departed of his own accord, new accounts say he was fired.

Just like some previous personnel moves, the employee in question found he was out via Donald Trump’s twitter feed.  But in public, Trump continued to defend and spin the now former White House counsel.

Remember, McGahn was interviewed by Mueller’s team for more than 30 hours.

So, look at this scenario as laid out by a former federal prosecutor.  Wow.
