Chuck Rosenberg: Trump Sees His Lawyers ‘as a Conduit to Criminal Conduct’

‘Except McGhan isn’t Roy Cohn or Michael Cohen’

EXCERPT:

ROSENBERG: "McGhan was cited many times in the report and spent, as we know, 30 hours with investigators. I was thinking about this. The president historically used his lawyers to commit crimes, Roy Cohn, Michael Cohen, the President sees lawyers as a conduit to criminal conduct. Maybe not surprising that he would turn to Don McGhan, his lawyer, in order to carry out these obstructive requests. Except for one problem, McGhan isn’t Roy Cohn and McGahn isn't Michael Cohen. McGahn seems to be a standup guy. He was around this President when a lot of this was unfolding. Not surprising that the President would try to use him to carry out these acts of obstruction and I guess the nice part of the story is McGhan didn’t do it. Kept faithful notes and told investigators the truth when asked."
