Steve Schmidt: ‘Don McGahn Is Not Getting Disbarred or Going to Jail for Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

SCHMIDT: "Everything Don McGahn has seen, has heard, has been a witness to, he told the Special Counsel. I was next door to Don McGahn at the National Republican Congressional Committee, he was my next door neighbor. I’ve known Don for years. I like Don McGahn. Don McGahn is a good lawyer. He is a careful lawyer. Don McGahn is not getting disbarred or going to jail for Donald Trump. So I guarantee you, and I bet my life on it, Don McGahn answered every question directly with maximum knowledge, whether it incriminated the President or not. And what the Trump people don’t understand is this. He’s not the President’s personal attorney. He is the White House Counsel. He is an assistant to the President. He is a commissioned officer. He doesn’t work for Donald Trump. He works for us. He works for the American people. He swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution in much the same way that Donald Trump did. That’s what his obligation is. It’s not to lie for the President. It’s to tell the truth to the Special Counsel on behalf of the American people for whom he works and serves."
