bit here too. hugh hewitt, what would be the ramifications if the president were to pardon michael cohen? the president will be impeached by a democratic majority, period. regardless of what happens? he will be impeached by the democratic party if they take the house. if he does things that are reported in a mueller report which indicate collusion of any sort or manipulation of the pardon process, i think he loses votes in the senate, which he ll be acquitted and, therefore, there is no upside to a pardon, period. it s bad for the reputation of the president, it s bad for the country and it s bad all the way around so it should be a nonstarter. anita, do you agree with that? i think a pardon would be politically disastrous. if you look at what ended richard nixon s reign as president, it wasn t anything except the crumbling of his political support within his own party and that s why he had to leave office. i think a pardon starts to take you to that place. i agree with hugh.
that does involve donald trump and financing for his projects from years ago. but there s been very few signs that trump s voters are willing to believe anybody who isn t president trump, regardless of the truth. so that is absolutely correct when it comes to this investigation for now. and again, this is this is a process. at this point right now, they haven t seen anything, they haven t heard anything except a lot of noise from washington, d.c. they don t follow this. people in this country are not following this the way we follow this, right, at all. but again, where you start at the beginning isn t necessarily where you end with any of these stories. i think that obviously mueller has been very careful to not hurt his credibility. when the mueller report comes out, however he delivers his information, that will be an important step in this process. of course the overarching question, whether voters will be willing to believe those conclusions after what the president has sa
children. she never said that! that encapsulates both sides where they were trying to come at it from and, you know, i ve been listening to the talk radio on both sides and i ve been looking at the blogosphere and this is a gigantic political liability for this white house. and it is, you know, there s such a close relationship between hillary rosen and the white house, she s been there almost a few dozen times. 35 times. visiting the white house and i guess purportedly a partner of anita dunne, business partner of anita dunne, the former communications director of the white house. they re trying desperately to walk this thing back. and she you know, hillary rosen did try to apologize but as we just heard from karl rove, she didn t do a very good job. saying not a compensated spokesman but a spokesman that they have sent out, yeah, i would say so. the d.n.c. can t technically pay her because she appears on another network. yeah. all right. this is not going away. we
i was fine until we saw that, bring a ladder in here! very spooky, spooky morning. things are going to be good today. i like the 13th. that s been a lucky number so i m not going to be scared of this! how many really bad things actually happen on friday the 13th? not many. possibly i don t think so. are you sure? positive. let s hope he s right. ali is in for gretchen today, brian is off and peter johnson is in his clothes. great to see you inside. nice. good to know. great to be with you guys. let s get right to your news and it s time for your headlines because we do have a fox news alert out of new hampshire. you are looking at live pictures out of greenland, new hampshire, where we have just learned the man who fatally shot a police chief during a drug bust at this home is now dead as well. greenland police chief michael malony was one of seven officers on the town s police force. he leaves behind a wife, two children and a grandchild. the gunm
and home moms. and that s the piece that i am not hearing from the romney camp. instead everybody is attacking me. that s fine. attack me but does not erase his woeful record on this issue. megyn: and she went on, hillary rosen, did on her twitter account, to continue attacking ann romney and just a few minutes after she gave that on-camera interview with cnn this orange in, then mrs. romney came on fox news and defended her husband and the attacks against him when she was spoking speaking with martha maccallum. that is not correct at all. you should see how many he listens to. that is what i love about mitt. he has so many women in his circle. his chief of staff when he was governor. in business, so many women surround him that he respects and admirers. his lieutenant governor, when he was governor, carey healy, he respects enormously and respects her intellect. that is a complete misperception. megyn: while we wait for the white house, chris stirewalt joins me live, fox
