Jesse he is being looked at right now for not registering as a foreign agent. Juan thats a scandal in and of itself, he had a Million Dollars from turkey and then opposing any action that would not benefit a turkey as a u. S. Official. Jesse that is not the focus the investigation. Juan trump said this was a witch hunt, youre doing the opposite. Kevin mccarthy said it is a joke, i bet the russians are paying trump, this was last summer. I dont want anybody to say that someone is paying me. There was big news today that seems to me when you have Rod Rosenstein who was the Deputy Attorney general and acting Attorney General because Jeff Sessions has recused himself tell people he knew comey was going to be fired, when he said the memo as a basis for comeys
firing. He was set up and used as a stooge. Greg im sorry, all of these errors are not political errors, their human errors. When trump says to comey, hes a good guy, go easy on him, thats a boss does. Kimberly why is that an error in
Leaders in congress, are to pretend didnt happen. Is that just Mitch Mcconnells nature . What has to happen for something to get done . Tell me what you saw when you watched the Press Conference today. Reporter well, Mitch Mcconnell knows when youre the leader, a party in the senate, youll take shots. Thats part of the job, a guy who takes incoming fire and allows your caucus to get things done. The two men appearing sidebyside today was politically smart or at least acknowledgement of political reality. Their goals in most cases are the same and desperately need each other to get any of them done. On tax reform, they cannot have the same problems they had on health care. If theyre sniping back and forth at each other day after day its gawk to be that much more difficult to get done. You heard some of that today. The president praising Mitch Mcconnell. Saying hes the guy to get it done on all of these issues and put a bunch of additional issues on Mitch Mcconnells plate now

Fbi before he fired him last february. Setting off a new round of questions about whether the president s actions amount to Obstruction Of Justice. Well, if you take the president s own statement, his tweet that he knew Michael Flynn was lying to the fbi when he fired him, which means that he knew Michael Flynn had committed a felony when he asked comey to stop the investigation. And when he fired comey when he refused to do so and when he fired sally yates and when he called Michael Flynn in april to tell him to stay strong. All of these acts are to impede and obstruct justice. A source close to the white house acknowledging the severity of the misstep to the Washington Post which writes a person close to the white house involved in the case turned the saturday tweet a screw up of historic proportions that has caused enormous consternation in
