there were bills introduced already to impeach the president. we don t have to wait to see how the movie turns out, we ve seen it. if there are legitimate reasons to if he invokes the fifth amendment and if he if mueller unveils evidence, if he tries to fire robert mueller, there may be legitimate reasons for impeachment, but for democrats this is not a campaign issue. it will become one for republicans, but it is not a campaign issue. there is a new monmouth university poll that caught our attention this week that shows a big drop in support for robert mueller s investigation. as you could see there, is this evidence that the president s strategy of attacking mueller attacking the special counsel and the justice department is working? i think it is evidence that it is working. it is pretty relentless over the last several months but i think it is inevitable that the special counsel probe would become aligned with people s party affiliation and the
because he doesn t stay on top of it. he s attacking mueller in the investigation every day, to no avail, by the way. in the abc poll a few weeks ago, 69% of americans said they had confidence of mueller looking into the collusion issue, 54% into the noncollusion business issue. that s he s attacking rosen, he s attacking the fbi. he knows that. we keep making this mistake and it gets back to my big theme in gas lighting america. we think donald trump needs to fight on facts because we re used to that, it s logical, it s what he s supposed to do. no, he does not fight on fact. he developed a whole counternarrative of a coup being staged against him. if you tune in fox news, you see this again and again and again. a lot of people believe that. they don t believe there s not
counsel. it s not a question involving the special counsel. it has implications with the special counsel. i refer you to the president s personal attorney. here s an important point. there is no reason to believe this list of 49 questions that was acquired by the new york times that that was a list the president is comprehensive. mueller s investigators shared them with the president s legal team in early march to discuss the terms of a presidential interview. president s lawyers reportedly wrote the questions down and then than document was provided to the times by a person outside trump s legal team. but that does not mean the special counsel s team revealed all in their hand and if the president s lawyers now led by rudy guiliani were the ones responsible for the leak ultimately, they would have an interest in withholding any questions that might incriminate their client. regardless, the president s attitude toward robert mueller appears to have shifted since his lawyers wer
spinning all this we want to say the facts are out, even if there s indictable offenses, fundamentally they understand this. they understand it s a political game. i think that s why we re not seeing anything beyond what s been reported in the news in the questions of from mueller. a lot of people were disappointed they weren t looking at some of trump s business deals or the potential financial leverage russia could have on him. that s been hashed out in the news and a lot of legal expers say mueller is probably not trying to freak president trump. i think it s true that you we don t know that it s a complete list. there is jay sekulow s notes. maybe he put down another 20 questions they were like don t leak that. we very no idea. the whole thing s coming through their side and obviously it came through trump channels. the final thing i ll say is the way they ve made obstruction of justice like some sort of subsidiary. that s like jaywalking. there s collusion, that s a serious th
the recent news not that hard to see the themes. not that hard. he s staying within his mandate which is important at this point. the strategy of trump trying to discredit contract investigation he keeps saying financial crimes, porn star, he s going crazy. these questions show he s absolutely not. that s perfect example of part of the strategy. the other part is you have a narrow bailiwick. it s implicit in all the people around the president. of course, he s committed other crimes. they re like oh, my goodness, don t look in that room. that room is off limits. if you open the door to that room, we re going to get really mad. what the heck s behind that door. but they have been effective in setting this idea of red lines and boundaries. you can go down a rabbit hole and decide the news of the raid on his doctor s offices is yet another diversion designed to make us lots our minds and not stay focussed. rest assured mueller s team highly focused and gave the
