Or this NYT article.
Trump Stews, Staff Steps In, and Mueller Is Safe for Now
Trump Stews, Staff Steps In, and Mueller Is Safe for Now - The New York Times
That article does not say anything about Trump ordering the firing and only backing off because McGahn threatened to quit instead of carrying out the order.
The new information is an additional and potentially critical addition.
Thank God the actual adults see that there is a difference between talking about firing a special prosecutor and actually firing him. Liberals think that if you talk about doing something, you actually did it. That is why they get nothing accomplished. People like LG should be in cash.
He didn't just "talk about it", he gave the order for McGahn to do it.
The irony is that the guy who's best known for his savage catch phrase of "you're fired" - was too much of a coward to do it himself.
Even if he gave the order, he changed his mind for whatever reason. Still a non-issue since he didn't fire Muller.
