Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer have also flipped on Donald Trump
The mainstream media has finally outed White House Counsel Don McGahn for having spent the past ten months fully cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller under Donald Trump’s nose. Trump responded by insisting on Twitter that he knew about it all along, and that he gave his people permission to cooperate in such a manner. This is unlikely, considering that McGahn has done a ton of damage to Trump’s prospects of staying out of jail. But it’s notable that Trump referred to his people, plural, instead of just McGahn. So who else has been undermining him?
Only Robert Mueller knows everyone who has flipped on Donald Trump. But in addition to Don McGahn, two other names are easily sussed out. McGahn, former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, and former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer have all been represented by the same attorney all along. By definition that means they’ve all been using the same defense strategy, with no chance of having a conflict of interest with each other.
In other words, because McGahn has been extensively cooperating all along, it’s proof that Priebus and Spicer have been doing the same. Of course we already knew this, thanks to the scattered reports this year that Robert Mueller has obtained everything from Priebus’ personal notes to Spicer’s diary; if they didn’t want Mueller to have these things, they’d have put up a fight in court instead of simply forking them over.
So who else from Donald Trump’s White House has been selling out Donald Trump to Robert Mueller? That’s still tough to say. Many of them have sat for lengthy interviews with Mueller, but we don’t know what they gave up in the process. The bottom line: at least three of Trump’s own top people, including one who’s still on the job, flipped on him last year. That’s a trend, and it suggests there are plenty more.
