Reminder: Per the Mueller report and our 302s, McFarland was so concerned by a request from the president at the end of her tenure as deputy NSA that she consulted a top NSC lawyer & wrote a memo about the request that Mueller's team eventually obtained. 
That lawyer, John Eisenberg (remember him from Lt. Col. Vindman’s impeachment hearing testimony?) told McFarland it “looked like a quid pro quo situation,” per her 302.
WaPo, on McFarland’s initial statement to Mueller’s team:
"For a time, investigators saw her answers as ‘inconsistent’, putting her in legal peril as the FBI tried to determine whether she had lied to them.”
Would love to hear her thoughts on that. washingtonpost.com/world/national…

Democrats also questioned her truthfulness to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during her ambassadorial nomination process. She would eventually withdraw her nomination to be US ambassador to Singapore.
