and other contemporaneous reporting, they re painting a picture of a man i don t believe i ve ever met. the donald trump i know is working from morning until night. he s hard to even keep up with when he s walking across a tarmac. he s got more energy than most people i know. people say that he s not that he s incurious or doesn t have a natural curiosity of policy. i don t find that to me true in my experience either. i think the president, in the end, if you look at 2017, although it was a bit of a rocky year for a first-time politician, i think it could be expected it would be rocky. i believe that 2018 we ll see more and more finite focus on important granular policies. let me ask you as somebody who worked with him, who knows him, i m struck by what we saw in the dreamers meeting where it seemed like he was agreeing with everyone in the room, whether or not what one person said was contradictory with what the
against another man s word is not a great basis but when one man s word in that he said, he said, one side is bolstered by contemporaneous, detailed memos written by a trained fbi official and bolstered by contemporaneous reporting by officials testifying under oath they got the notifications, contemporaneously at the time the conversations happened. that s not he said, he said anymore. that s difficult for the president in terms of liability. okay. that s the first open question. did the president try to obstruct the fbi inquiry. now informati new information. tough for the white house. but as we know from your bad decision to back your car up in front of those cops out of your driveway, the question isn t just did you obstruct an investigation, did you block the

you can check that stuff. you can talk to the people involved in the policy and read contemporaneous reporting. you can see it s bull pucky. they tried to do it with the refugee ban. they tried to do it with the disastrous fatal raid in yemen which killed a u.s. navy seal, injured three others and killed a bunch of yemeni civilians, including children. they tried to say that that disastrous military operation was only approved because obama approved it. they said obama s national security council, the deputies at the national security council, they approved that mission at a meeting on january 6. again, a claim like that is not going to work because the folks from the deputies meeting at the national security council under barack obama, those folks are still around. that isn t ancient history. you don t have to dig those people out of deep retirement. those people can answer for themselves. it s a matter of record as to whether or not they approved that mission. they did not. that s on
