Do you really believe that the POTUS is read in on everything? You do realize that even the POTUS, with all the top secret clearances he or she has or may have, that there are levels of secrecy above him or her? I could go on. Don’t be fooled or lulled into thinking that the POTUS knows exactly every thing or every move or every secret this government may have, has or is designing even now.
Correct the president does not know everything at all times… Never even suggested that… At the bare minimum this will now likely be an issue for the Grand Jury which is now being convened in the case of White House officials up to and including FPOTUS, to decide… It is no doubt the topic that will be discussed by Cassidy Hutchison when she is placed under oath before the Grand Jury with her first hand account. Short and Jacobs have already done so.
Always if this proceeds to indictment there will be a trial which will be of the century, and will be televised live every day for us all to see and hear the evidence and make up our own minds.
