Who stole the "stones" of Don McGahn and Robert Mueller?

Like most Republicans in Washington today, they have surrendered everything to Donald Trump and the Trump Party.

If either McGahn or Mueller wanted to testify before the Congress, they could do it. McGahn is a private citizen. They must have de-nutted him real good? What do they find so intimidating about Donald Trump?

Nobody is physically restricting Mueller or McGahn. The decision is theirs to make and they do not choose to make it. If they cannot speak up at this time, they have no excuses. They do not wish to speak up. They are not profiles in courage.

they must have something on him. Maybe he lied to Mueller. Or maybe he obstructed, because he is certainly obstructing now. Maybe he took some dirty money. McGahn could be a national hero, like John Dean became. But alas, when we give any of them even a tiny little scratch on the surface, what we find is a moral degenerate.

And whatever it is, it must be serious enough that he’s willing to risk arrest, fines and disbarment to stay clammed up in-service of Trump.

If Dirty Don puts a word in, he'd probably lose his job.

Which is worse, McGahn? Losing your balls to Chump or losing your freedom for a year in jail?

Yesterday Michael Schmidt said McGahn's law firm works for traitor trump which I knew was pure bunk, but then he and thr media get so much wrong these days. Why with McGahn is the question.

From April:

"Trump Fires Jones Day To Stick It To Don McGahn For Being Vaguely Competent
Trump lashes out at the firm that's bent over backward for him"

“Campaign officeals and advisers cast the decision to hire Nathan Groth — a former lawyer for the Republican National Committee and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — as a money-saving move, supported by the businessman-turned-president who loves to cut costs.

But close Trump advisers say the decision also stems from disappointment with the White House’s former top attorney and current Jones Day partner, Don McGahn, whose behavior has irked the president and some of his family members.

Taking business away from Jones Day is payback, these advisers say, for McGahn’s soured relationship with the Trump family and a handful articles in high-profile newspapers that the family blames, unfairly or not, on the former White House counsel.”

"the Republican National Committee's top expense in April was $2 million for "legal and compliance services" to Jones Day, out of $14.3 million total spending last month."

"Trump has mused about instructing Republicans to cease dealing with the firm,"

so I don't think he wanted to testify to begin with. He didn't and still doesn't want to be forced to tell the truth about Trump.
