White House Counsel Has Cooperated Extensively With Mueller's Obstruction Inquiry
Source: New York Times
WASHINGTON — The White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, has cooperated extensively in the special counsel investigation, sharing detailed accounts about the episodes at the heart of the inquiry into whether President Trump obstructed justice, including some that investigators would not have learned of otherwise, according to a dozen current and former White House officials and others briefed on the matter.
In at least three voluntary interviews with investigators that totaled 30 hours over the past nine months, Mr. McGahn described the president’s furor toward the Russia investigation and the ways in which he urged Mr. McGahn to respond to it. He provided the investigators examining whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice a clear view of the president’s most intimate moments with his lawyer.
Among them were Mr. Trump’s comments and actions during the firing of the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, and Mr. Trump’s obsession with putting a loyalist in charge of the inquiry, including his repeated urging of Attorney General Jeff Sessions to claim oversight of it. Mr. McGahn was also centrally involved in Mr. Trump’s attempts to fire the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, which investigators might not have discovered without him.
For a lawyer to share so much with investigators scrutinizing his client is unusual. Lawyers are rarely so open with investigators, not only because they are advocating on behalf of their clients but also because their conversations with clients are potentially shielded by attorney-client privilege, and in the case of presidents, executive privilege.

This could be why some of the ranting and raving!
Edit to add that Wittes cracks me up with that BOOM one because he added the comment "Sweet" to the audio. 
His title is White House Council. His client is quite literally the white house executive branch operations. Trump is not his client, though he certainly does a lot of work involving trump.
But he doesn't represent trump. He represents the white house and executive branch. So he has no duty of attorney client privilege with trump personally.
As an example, if I am interviewed by my companies corporate lawyers, I have no attorney client privilege with them. I would treat any such conversation just like I would a conversation with an fbi agent. If there was ANY chance of jeopardy I either wouldn't discuss it (and probably get fired) or I would insist my own attorney be present, and probably be fired.
The CEO is in the same position,. but can fire the lawyers. I couldn't. 
He may have them tied up with an NDA, but those don't apply to criminal investigations. You can't be compelled to with hold evidence via an NDA. That's illegal.
But cool part is with McGahn and Cohen and Stone and others I do not see how Trump can keep the facts quiet this fall so we will get to see what really happens before our eyes 
1. Isn't that last sentence that begins "Mr. McGahn cautioned..." a little bit of a bummer?
2. So does McGahn show up at the WH on Monday or what? 
Is the fix in? Way down in the pit of my stomach something tells me that it is...orange nightmare will skate, patsies and trumpchumps will be crushed under the wheels of the bus that orange nightmare is driving to our destruction. I so hope I'm wrong.
How glorious and enthralling!!
Mr. Wittes doesn’t BOOM as often as he used to, so nowadays when he DOES???!?!?
Have MERCY!!!
