Priebus is too far up the food chain for Mueller to be interviewing this early \u2013 unless it was because Priebus was ready to flip on Trump. There\u2019s another detail which suggests Priebus may not have done it in solo fashion.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Mueller\u2019s strategy would be to interview everyone under Reince Priebus before even thinking about sitting down with him, so Mueller could take as much evidence and leverage into that meeting as possible. Even if Priebus volunteered to testify early, Mueller would likely turn him down unless Priebus was looking to make a deal. Priebus witnessed Trump\u2019s obstruction of justice and may have even participated in it, but it\u2019s easy to picture Mueller giving Priebus a free pass in exchange for damning testimony about Trump\u2019s crimes. Here\u2019s the catch: Priebus is inexorably tied to White House Counsel Don McGahn.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Not only did Reince Priebus and Don McGahn spend several years working closely together for the Republican National Committee, they also currently share the same attorney in the Trump-Russia scandal. If Priebus did flip on Friday, in legal terms it would mean that he flipped on everyone involved, including technically McGahn. This would make it impossible for them to have the same attorney, unless McGahn also flipped.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>In fact their decision to share an attorney, in a scandal where they\u2019re both potentially implicated for crimes, has screamed from the start that they\u2019d end up making any decisions jointly. Reince Priebus\u2019 meeting with Robert Mueller today probably means he\u2019s flipped on Donald Trump \u2013 and by extension, it means Don McGahn has also probably flipped on Trump.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reince Priebus and White House Counsel Don McGahn may have both flipped on Donald Trump today \u00a0written by\u00a0Bill Palmer Updated: 11:29 pm EDT Fri Oct 13, 2017 &nbsp; Donald Trump\u2019s former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus was interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller today (Oct. 13th)\u00a0in a shocking move that raised questions about&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":618,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[43],"tags":[54,49,36,116,33,115,30],"class_list":["entry","author-larrynorton","post-617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-government","tag-corrupt-trump","tag-democracy","tag-election-2016","tag-mcgahn","tag-politics","tag-priebus","tag-republicans"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nortonspeaks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Priebus-Trump.jpg?fit=150%2C150","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8bppg-9X","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":619,"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617\/revisions\/619"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nortonspeaks.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
