Trump is furious at White House counsel Don McGahn for failing to stop Russia probe
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/trump-is-furious-at-white-house-counsel-don-mcgahn-for-failing-to-stop-russia-probe-report/
President Donald Trump is reportedly furious at White House Counsel Don McGahn for not acting as his personal attorney and trying to push back against the Russia probe.
The president has asked a variety of law enforcement, intelligence and elected officials to refute or halt the investigation, but he is particularly annoyed that his White House attorney hasnt represented his personal interests, sources told Politico.
Four sources told the website that Trump started this week by dressing down McGahn in the Oval Office for failing to quash the Russia investigation early on, which one friend said displayed the presidents misunderstanding of the White House counsels role.
This is one of the misconceptions about the White House counsels office, said one source, described by Politico as an informal but frequent White House visitor. Don represents the institution. What is going on with Russia and Mueller are matters involving Trump in his personal capacity. I am not sure the president completely understands how these roles are segregated.

Relax. Take your mind off it. Here, have a bucket of KFC and a beautiful chocolate cake with a gallon or two of ice cream. And when you finish that, we've got a bucket of strawberries marinated in lard you can nosh on.
