pay a price for his own truth abuse, his jazzing up what he might know. there might be a price on that depending what he told the senate committee. how many answers did he give that don t match up with what others tell the special counsel? this is one of those things that could linger, even after mueller is done looking into trump, himself. what could that mean? well, thing of value. receiving something of value from a foreign government. what could that be? hacked e-mails. e-mails that certainly help the trump campaign. the i.c., the intelligence community, is clear the russians were behind it. now, all of this is before you even get to the question of obstruction. and as i said, questions of obstruction were not in the batch trump just answered. that s where reporting about trump using the doj to go after comey comes in. because questions about what trump has done once in office could require a subpoena fight that could last a long time and the law is not exactly clear.

let it shine, the power s ours to let it shine! the president has turned in his answers to the special counsel s questions. now, this is just one move on the chess board there, and there s this stuff about the white house counsel, don mcgahn, clouding the idea of what s going on with the probe that the white house counsel had to stand up to the president and his impulse to use the doj as his personal strong arm to go after hillary clinton and reportedly james comey. busy night. so let s get into why the president says what he says and does it connect to rationale? with former communications director anthony scaramucci. always good to have you, welcome back to primetime.
about. for whatever reason, the chief of staff sessions at that time is in the meeting with rosenstein and the president and the president says where are we on going after clinton and comey? where are we on those things? now, what does that tell you about what he must know about whitaker? tells me nothing about what he must know about whitaker. how so? tells me what he wishes. tells me what he would like to see happen. he must know the fact would you ever have that conversation in the presence of somebody you didn t trust and know? i think i would not have that conversation at all. fair point. okay. but the president did. he s no mike mukasey. there s no doubt that he had seen whitaker before, that whitaker had briefed him in the oval before. and that he was in that sense familiar with his with the way he presented it. should people be worried that this president thinks about going after his enemies by using the doj as if they were his tough worried, i
