McGahn did. either directly, or indirectly through rosenstein. Have fun splitting that hair. If McGahn didn't have the power to do that....then he wouldn't threaten to resign rather than get involved. He could have just said "hey not my bag man, try someone else".
So he tried to get Mueller fired, he just didn't insist on it to the point of firing anyone who refused to do it for him.
So what you're saying is that he *could have* fired Mueller and didn't. Do you see how that's different than trying and failing?
So, his intention was to fire Mueller and he only backed off that intention when he dozily realised it would just make things worse.
So a President, under unfair attack, while sitting in the most stressful job in the universe decided had an unwise impulse but deferred to his counsel. And that's it. How many times did you have to put that through the spin cycle for it to sound like ORANGE MAN BAD
