WASHINGTON — The White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, will be leaving the administration this fall, President Trump tweeted Wednesday morning, leaving the president’s side just as the sprawling investigation into Russian election interference could come to a conclusion.

In addition to stripping the White House of another top official, Mr. McGahn’s departure may fuel concerns about how the president has interacted with witnesses and potential witnesses in the Russia inquiry. Mr. McGahn is a key witness to whether the president tried to obstruct the investigation.

The departure of the top lawyer in the White House has been rumored for months. In his tweet, Mr. Trump said that Mr. McGahn would leave after the Senate votes on the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court later this fall.

Go get a good replacement and move on.

So What! .........

Still on that russia ****....

I think McGahn was sent to Mueller with McGahn’s own full participation to ground the need to respond to a request/demand by Mueller for the President’s interview. Trump’s ultimate response will be to decline and to point out his attorney was interviewed for 30 hours, thus Mueller has all he needs and all to which he is entitled concerning Trump’s actions. McGahn, having served his purpose, is moving on.

if whhse counsel was there to be his attorney then he wouldn't be hiring all these others. And attorney client privilege would have prevented him from giving Mueller 30 hrs of testimony, even without executive privilege being waved
