Angry Democrats, if they had their way, would put Trump protector William Barr in the dock, right beside Trump. The closest we get to a hero in the sordid report — as opposed to Kenneth Starr’s lurid report — is the former White House counsel Don McGahn. When Trump complained that McGahn was taking notes, unlike Roy Cohn, McGahn explained that “real” lawyers take notes. “McGahn recalled the president telling him ‘Mueller has to go’ and ‘Call me back when you do it,’” the report stated. The White House counsel knew to hit the brakes and shelve Trump’s demand.
