no. no. i m responding to you because i think it s a fair question. should they have figured these things out by now. i think they should have figured it out by now. maybe it s part of a sort of nefarious design to avoid scrutiny. but this is par for the course. it s not surprising, it s nothing new. abbie lowell, the attorney representi representi representing jared kushner sent a letter. i said go talk to the white house. what is chairman cummings next move here? well, look, i think they re going to have to try and see if they can get documents from the white house. i think there were some claims they are which we know is going to be difficult because they haven t wanted to respond. i think the president actually likes the fight with congress. so i think he would prefer not to hand over documentation. i think they re going to have to
i reached out to abbie lowell, and look, you re absolutely right in your assessment. i would add that when you look at the plea documents and the southern district prosecutor, they don t quite describe this episode in the same way. there is no mention of the means to donald trump, so he went further today in a damming way and raising questions about whether or not there was perform or witness tampering. i think there is more based on what he said than didn t said. there was no collusion that i m aware of. if he was lying, wouldn t that
mysteriously changed towards a pro-russian position. he, okay, also was present when the russian delegation showed up at trump tower. i just want to make sure everyone understands, that trump tower meeting, brian, was not random russians coming off the street to your hillary clinton as described, it was a russian government dell gax coming to him saying we have already hack hillary clinton s e-mail and the e-mail of her campaign and the democratic committee. we re going to operationalize it. this meeting is about what we will get if return, sanctions relief. also on the issue of the safety of the family, i think with paul manafort working for the u.s. government, there is concern that the russians might target him and particularly his family. barbara mcquaid, if are you the lawyer for djtj, donald trump jr. or jared kushner, mr. abbie lowell, what are you thinking tonight? it is concerning, certainly those lawyers have talked with
right. but he made a point on twitter of saying not until after that supreme court justice is confirmed because that s going to be that s mcgahn s legacy from trump s point of view. that s why so many people stay with trump, right, that they put up with all this nonsense we re talking about because they re going to get him from their point of view the supreme court justice they want. it is going to make the confirmations which were already going to be interesting, to say the least, more interesting. but, you know, he s not going to let the game go until that happens. and, jill, we have a report about in this same report that talks about the president wishing he had abbie lowell as his personal defense lawyer, criminal defense lawyer, he has such a terrible eye for legal talent and legal capabilities. the new york times is reporting in a separate report that he actually asked rob porter at a certain point to
impeachment and last week really became the week where everyone was talking about impeachment. the president was talking about impeachment, if i ever got impeached, as he said on fox news. now we know tonight that that s what they re talking about inside the white house. talking about bringing on whole new squadrons of lawyers. and of course the president being very jealous of jared kushner s lawyer, a real lawyer who has actually been involved in impeachment proceedings in the past. wishes he now had abbie low well instead of the former mayor of new york who okay. i won t even finish that line. i forget he s supposed to be his lawyer. thank you, rachel. we have breaking news tonight about the president and impeachment. trump recently has consulted his
