is certainly problematic in a free democracy. it s going to be really important that we point out the things reported using anonymous sources play out to be real. you started this segment talking about the pressure on trump that lead to pruitt s resignation. what donald trump cannot survive is the disclosure of his tax returns and if he s criminally indicted about them. a d.c. report today has donald trump s tax returns and how to get criminal authority to the new york state attorney general to go around him because she s made it clear she believes he s committed tax crimes. it will not happen unless pressure is brought on a democrat. an crew cuomo who would like to be president. and unless he gets a firm message, you will authorize an investigation of trump s tax returns, donald will keep sailing along and he might get two terms. but he cannot survive disclosure of his tax returns or a state indictment.
made it clear she believes he s committed tax crimes. it will not happen unless pressure is brought on a democrat. an crew cuomo who would like to be president. and unless he gets a firm message, you will authorize an investigation of trump s tax returns, donald will keep sailing along and he might get two terms. but he cannot survive disclosure of his tax returns or a state indictment. spoken by a reporter who has come closer to parts of the tax returns than just about anyone else. so an interesting point for us to reflect on. david, gene and jennifer, thank you very much. michael cohen is wiping the trump references from his own twitter accounts and hiring a key hillary clinton loyalist. later, reports of trump s handling of the nomination of a new supreme court justice that sound a lot like, you guessed it, a reality show. even a cact.

conflicts of interest and an entire attitude towards government that this is all about him. it is all about making him even richer. making him richer and, david, on the pruitt side and the cabinet, it s not a crazy possibility that somebody who was both independently wealthy and public service minded could serve. fdr, the kennedys, there are examples. but it is not turning out that way. do you think at some point there is a critical mass where enough pruitts happen and people think, gosh, maybe trump is not putting in the best people? i don t know. donald s numbers have been consistent with people who believe he is their savior. but pruitt was a clownish predator who donald used as one of those he stocked the swamp with. he is being replaced by an actual lobbyist for murry energy, the coal company that
