"the new york times" is reporting that in a series of interviews totaling some 30 hours, mcgann is telling the special counsel about the president's outrage, his anger over the russia investigation and how he has urged mcgann to respond to it. this includes things like firing james comey, pressuring the attorney general, jeff sessions, to do the president's bidding. also attempting to fire robert mueller, the special counsel. so mcgann in deciding to cooperate with the mueller team is really tak
