OK so for the first time in a while I am actually smiling because this is genuinely hilarious.
There’s a restaurant in DC right next door to the Washington Bureau of the New York Times. SO two of Trump’s Russia lawyers have lunch there AND they declaim for all to hear, including a reporter, from the Failing New York Times, about the Russia investigation.
Now if this were a normal investigation one would suspect a set-up. But this is the Trump Administration so yeah, they probably are that arrogant.
Anyway, Ty Cobb and John Dowd, we are talking about YOU!
Vogel overheard the lawyers talking about White House counsel Donald F. McGahn II and Jared Kushner, president Trump’s son-in-law, as well as the infamous Trump Tower meeting. Here’s a sample from the article bearing the bylines of Vogel and Peter Baker:
Mr. Cobb was heard talking about a White House lawyer he deemed “a McGahn spy” and saying Mr. McGahn had “a couple documents locked in a safe” that he seemed to suggest he wanted access to. He also mentioned a colleague whom he blamed for “some of these earlier leaks,” and who he said “tried to push Jared out …”
The White House Counsel’s Office is being very conservative with this stuff,” Mr. Cobb told Mr. Dowd. “Our view is we’re not hiding anything.” Referring to Mr. McGahn, he added, “He’s got a couple documents locked in a safe.”
… Mr. Cobb also discussed the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting — and the White House’s response to it — saying that “there was no perception that there was an exchange.”
