Top Trump officials saved the President from himself - CNNPolitics
Yet more about how his aides have allegedly been thwarting some of his worst initiatives.Had President Donald Trump been successful in launching prosecutions against Hillary Clinton and James Comey, it could have spelled the end of his presidency, as a clear-cut abuse of power.
It never happened, apparently thwarted by then-White House Counsel Don McGahn and other senior officials.
Especially since the Democrats now control the House by a sizable margin.And it leaves anyone on the outside wondering what other potential disasters top officials like McGahn, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein might have prevented.
They also raise questions about the capacity of a now-understaffed White House and legal counsel's operation to protect the President from current or future transgressions.
