McGahn's conversations with Mueller are not the only drama that is leaving Trump waiting on events, rather than dictating them. Then there is his duel with Mueller himself, who may be the most inscrutable, immovable foe Trump has ever faced. He tweeted on Sunday that he had engineered McGahn's testimony because he had nothing to hide and rejected commentary that the White House counsel may have turned on him. "I think the White House should be very concerned about it," CNN Legal Analyst Ross Garber said. All that is a serious disadvantage for Trump's legal and political team as it games out a possible defense.
