MSNBC: W.H. Counsel Knew in January Flynn Likely Violated the Law

GEIST: "There is also the report in foreign policy magazine we mentioned briefly yesterday, it's unconfirmed by NBC News, but 'Foreign Policy' claims that Trump Administration records show White House Counsel Don McGahn was aware in January, just after the inauguration, that then-national security adviser Michael Flynn had possibly violated about laws about lying to federal investigators and unauthorized communication with Russia's ambassador. Flynn remained in his job until mid-February, 18 days after then-acting attorney general Sally Yates inform McGahn about her concerns, The January records allege McGahn believed that Flynn, and possibly anyone who authorized or approved of such contacts, would be in potential violation of the Logan Act, according to two anonymous sources who work in the administration."
