mr. mcghan's testimony. and he says mcghan answered fulsomely and honestly. arthel: mr. mcghan is the white house counsel. i ask you, did the president have a say in whether mcghan cooperate with mr. mueller? mueller could have subpoenaed mr. mcghan. >> he could have asserted executive privilege. he aloud and encouraged mcghan and 30 other people connected with the white house to go in and fully cooperate. the headline in the "new york times" that said white house counsel cooperated extensively is a rush to judgment. and people are assuming that means he's incriminating the president. not necessarily. i just heard a sound bite from mayor giuliani. if mr. mcghan talks about illegal conduct in the white house he legally and ethically would have had to resign. we don't know what he said. but it's just as likely he was an advocate for the president. what we do know is he told the truth. arthel: tell me the well reasons why he would have to have resigned. >> he could not be part of an on jon -- and ongoing criminal activity. he would have had to resign. arthel: what do you say
