But when you compare director comeys Testimony Yesterday, which was quite compelling, believable and composed to the ways the president conducted himself today at the rose garden, i think james comey is going to win any credibility contest. What is your problem with how the president conducted himself today at the rose garden . This is a serious investigation, he was standing in quite a prestigious place, the rose garden and was asked if there were tapings, he sort of swintimated there were and said that investigation could be coming soon. There is not a reality show. This is the president of the United States with allegations of Obstruction Of Justice taking place. The president did say he was 100 willing to testify under oath. Will you call on the special counsel bob mueller to depose the president of the united
his side will be more believable . Jeff sessions apparently was in the room, Jared Kushner was in the room. And apparently theres more to hear from Admiral Rogers and coats.
It took place. Did you know at the time about that meet something. No, i didnt know anything about it. It must have been a very important meeting, because i never even heard that. No one told you a word, nothing . I know we talked about this on the plane a bit. No, nobody told me. Sounded like a very unimportant meeting. Deep cuts there from haberman and schmidt. Thats not what Michael Cohen claims, alleging that he and several others were present when thencandidate donald trump gave his nod of approval for the meeting to move forward. That contradicts repeated denials from donald trump jr. And others in Donald Trumps orbit. Did you tell your father anything about this . No. It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. I wouldnt have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. The president said he became aware of it very recently, right before this came out, and thats when he was notified. Joining me now is jeff

mccain and i in one armed services committee after another at hearings with our cyber experts saying to them, under the obama administration as well as this administration, why has there been no definition of an act of war in cyber, because we have been attacked. it is an act of war. and i think the answer is that republicans, most especially on the house side, the surrogates and cronies who defend donald trump see an attack on him. they see the investigation as moving towards criminal culpability for members of the trump campaign, and with good reason, because clearly, as you can see from the indictment, the russian hacking operation and intelligence mechanism reached out to trump operatives.
a subject of ridicule or no big deal? maria, i m not sure whether dianne feinstein in judiciary committee is responding to that specifically, but she said she wants to launch a senate judiciary committee into whether there s obstruction of justice. this is dianne feinstein who in the past has said she has seen no hard evidence of collusion yet. so this is an interesting step for her. first of all, she s been somebody who s been incredibly concerned, i think as most americans are, as the crux of the issue, which doesn t seem to concern the president of the united states, that russia committed an act of war in cyber attacking the united states in interferes and meddling in our elections and it doesn t seem like the president of the united states has any interest in getting to the bottom of that,
