that she is a criminal. that stormy daniels basically violated state crimes when she said that somebody approached her in 2011 and that sketch is the person who threatened her and basically told her to lay off of trump. so what is stormy daniels doing? well, two things. one, she is keeping herself relevant. the lawsuit against thank you. donald trump and michael cohen in california and i believe you re dead right on. this what is the interest in michael avenatti, who is a very aggressive attorney? what is his interest in making up for a fact that he has a 90-day basically delay in his civil case and now he wants to keep it alive during the 90 days. why is that important to his case? because now he has brought to it the president or more specifically donald trump in his personal capacity. he has brought it to donald trump s doorstep. and what i mean by that, he is suing donald trump, not as a president, but in personal capacity. he is suing him as a resident of new york. and
central america is really aimed at getting the core trump supporter out to the ballot box come november. how did he organize that caravan? just kidding. the optics of that is perfect for him. anyway, on sunday, trump tweeted, quote, just got recent poll. much higher than president obama at same time. well, much more has been accomplished. it s unclear which poll the president is referring to. but the new york times reports that trump s campaign manager for his reelection bid, brad parscale has rankled trump advisers by giving the president perpetually rosy assessment of his poll numbers. he often tells mr. trump his numbers have never been higher. susan, where is this coming? the gallup poll shows him way down from where president obama was this time. if you look at the most reliable polls, gallup and pew and the nbc wall street journal poll and usa, you find his approval rating continues to be as historic lows. that he has not really improved his polling position since he
rule in the summer zervos lawsuit against him for defamation as well that he actually has to face those allegations, even though he is taking that up on appeal. but a prior united states supreme court decision, chris, has said that a sitting president, a la bill clinton, can be sued and does not have immunity from that type of lawsuit. let me go to robert on this one. i know you ve got some breaking story. i want to ask you about one thing before that this idea of gowdy, trey gowdy, it seems like republicans on their way out of congress become very independent. they really stand apart. i m talking about corker, dent. i m talk about ryan and costello. i m talking about flake. all these senators and members of congress are openly against trump the minute they decline to run for reelection. now we have trayvon martin one of the leaders of the investigation benghazi saying hold your horse, mr. president. you re not off the hook because the republicans on the house intelligence committee
you re not the clear at all, mr. president. this investigation hasn t been completed by any means. plus, trump says he thinks his summit with kim jong-un will happen. already trump is hailing what could be a huge breakthrough. the north korean says it s willing to give up its nuclear weapons if the united states promises not to invade. how about north korea promising not to invade south korea? that would be a nice promise. but as talk about a nobel peace prize, i m not sure john bolton is big on peace. and with trump back in campaign mode, should republicans worry about fire and fury about like what we saturday night. they re trying to hold on to control of congress and the word trump isn t helping. finally, let me finish tonight with trump watch. this is hardball, where the action. not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that s cool. coolsculpting safely freezes and removes fat cells.
trump s fall campaign. there were 66 days in the fall campaign, he talked about them 146 times, more than he talked about infrastructure. these were core trump campaign weapons built in russia, deployed in the united states. they hurt the clinton campaign, a lot of them were released the day the access hollywood came out, as an effort to distract from that. so if the mueller investigation is a witch hunt, getting the people with the e-mails is capturing the broomstick. we are getting close to the heart of the matter. i think i learned the phrase unindicted coconspirator in the watergate investigation. richard nixon was listed as that, which is a person that you don t feel you can indict for one reason or another. is it possible we could see vladimir putin s name as an unindicted coconspirator.
