Former White House counsel Don McGhan told lawmakers last week that then-President Donald Trump’s effort to get Special Counsel Robert Mueller fired in June 2017 marked a potential “point of no return” for the administration, according to a transcript released Wednesday.
“If the Acting Attorney General [Rod Rosenstein] received what he thought was a direction from the counsel to the President to remove a special counsel, he would either have to remove the special counsel or resign,” McGhan told members of the House Judiciary Committee in the June 4 interview.

Trump is the only Republican that sides with the citizens and the rule of law, so any other Republican that is committed to the Bush Plan for North Mexico would not have that problem.
He SHOULD be in PRISON!
McGhan, you DUMBASS....it could have been a TWO-FER!!
“If the Acting Attorney General [Rod Rosenstein] received what he thought was a direction from the counsel to the President to remove a special counsel, he would either have to remove the special counsel or resign,” McGhan told members of the House Judiciary Committee in the June 4 interview.
IF...IF...IF...IF...IF.
IF the Queen had balls she would be the King too
If you read that transcript it is full of leading questions that would never be allowed in a courtroom. Truth is secondary to spin.
It was a closed door session with him, so you make the call.
Trump fully had the authority to remove Mueller. That he didn’t was both good and bad. Good because he knew he had nothing to hide and it would have been taken as an admission of guilt if he had, and bad because he allowed Mueller or whoever he was a figurehead for to draw a six month investigation into 3 years.
If Rosenstein thought he got directions, he would have had to call up the President and get clarification. There are like 3 layers of speculation in there.
As for Nadler: “I also look forward to advancing legislation that would allow us to enforce our own subpoenas in a far more timely manner, no matter who holds power in Washington.”, all I can say is do it. Obama personnel ignored several subpoenas. So that would mean we could subpoena Biden's personnel and question them, and they couldn't refuse.
Everything related to the oversight of a special counsel is internal to the U.S. Justice Department, which means it comes entirely under the authority of the President.
The massacre was the day Mueller was appointed. The were nothing to investigate. But there was a 2018 congressional election that needed to be interfered with.
When Mueller fought so hard not to testify, was the day I knew he hadn't written, much less been involved in the investigation he was supposed to conduct. His testimony proved me right. Weissman ran the show.
Which is why there is no reforming the GOP. It can't be done. If they aren't RINOS already when they're elected, they will eventually become RINOS, if they stay in D.C. long enough.
.
In hindsight, it is exquisitely clear that Mueller should have been fired. Rosenstein too.
