Be that. Phil. Sarah, youre talking about a comprehensive immigration fix from congress in a span of six months. Im not sure the president s frustration, congress hansnt been able to do much at all this year. What gives him confidence theyre going to be able to act on immigration . Has he spoken to any congressional members. Hes spoken to a number of leaders. They just came back from a threeweek vacation. I think they should be rested and ready to take on some big challenges that america faces. Why would the its congresss job to legislate. Its not the president s job to create law. Its not its congresss job to create legislation. I think thats something we all learned in 8th grade civics. I know i certainly did and i think that every member of congress should know that is their duty and were asking them to fulfill it. Its pretty simple.

Reince priebus and also don mcgahn been things they talked to mueller about. That strikes me as a bad idea. Im not a lawyer. What do you say . Its a terrible idea.

Is he gathering information so he can coordinate the testimony of other witnesses or himself and it also raises this appearance of consciousness of guilt. If youre not guilty of anything, then have you no interest in talking with any of these folks. If youre talking to them, it suggests a level of interest that could indicate a consciousness of guilt. As joyce said, its a bad idea. Any lawyer would counsel his client not to talk about it because if even if theres nothing bad going on, there is a perception there is. One of the people he spoke to was priebus. According to investigators he asked if they were nice. You

Sitting for 19 interviews with the special counsel and other Justice Department offices. The memo appears to show that flynn help the Justice Department with at least three ongoing investigations.
