McGahn hopes to deflect, I guess

Shocked and furious.  LOL.  That's not much of a defense.  I don't think it will do him any good when his turn at trial comes up.  After all, he IS an attorney.

May 8, 2017:

Yates testified that she had two in-person meetings and one phone call conversation with White House Counsel Don McGahn, the first on 26 January 2017 after it became clear from statements quoted in the news media that Vice President Mike Pence had been misled by Flynn about whether Flynn had spoken with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Yates said this discrepancy left Flynn open to blackmail, because the Kremlin knew he had misled his superiors and could use the information against him.

She also testified that she told McGahn that Flynn had been interviewed by the FBI at the White House on 24 January 2017, and that she had discussed with McGahn the possibility of criminal charges being leveled against Flynn, saying: “To state the obvious, you don’t want your national security adviser compromised with the Russians.”

"She discussed the possibility of criminal charges being leveled against Flynn." Sounds like she told him.

Yates said she also informed McGahn that the FBI interviewed Flynn at the White House on Jan. 24, and declined to answer McGahn’s question about how he “did.”

Sounds like a question for Flynn.

Yates testified that McGahn called her and the unnamed DOJ official into his White House office again on Jan. 27, where she said McGahn asked her if she thought Flynn should be fired.

The acting attorney general said she told McGahn it was not her position to say so, but that she brought the information to him so that the Trump administration could “take action.”

McGahn asked for access to the underlying evidence supporting their claims, according to Yates, who told him she’d would work with the FBI to determine what could be revealed over that weekend.

On Jan. 30, a Monday, Yates said she called McGahn granting him approval to review that underlying evidence. She was dismissed from her post hours later, after instructing the Justice Department not to defend President Donald Trump’s travel ban out of concern over its legality.

Flynn remained in his position until Feb. 13.

So McGahn actually saw (at least he was granted access to, and we'd have to be incredulous beyond belief to think he didn't check it out) the evidence of what Flynn told the FBI. He didn't need Sally to tell him whether it was a lie.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.


UPDATE:

That should be a fun time.
