the cabinet shake-up, bringing in john bolton. how does this affect the way that government handles top priorities, the turnover that we ve seen has been unprecedented. well, i think everybody would agree, this is turmoil as chaos and confusion, and it s not good for anything. we always believed that there should be an orderly process. and of course government is not clean or orderly ever. but this seems to be beyond normal bounds. one of the best lawyers ever. this guy won the case in florida against bush v gore. he won the presidency and from the supreme court, i forget how he got it. and he won the wonderful case for marriage equality with david boies. he is a hell of a lawyer. and he eloquently laid out his case for why he will probably never join the trump legal team. you have to if you are a lawyer who represents trump, you
that s three people in the family could all be indicted. he has three top guy, papadopoulos, manafort and flynn all out there talking. he has three women throughout. they look like pretty good cases against him, and i m not sure he is exposed in terms of criminal action. maybe he is. but that s a lot of lawyering. and guess what? those other folks have really good lawyers. jared kushner, michael flynn, papadopoulos, they re all well represented. at some point, mueller is going to be about let s make a deal. and if trump, if his lawyer doesn t have a seat at the table, a very competent lawyer, then he is not in good shape. susan, this is endemic for trump. i can do it. he is like mighty joe younger something from movies. i can do anything, i m beating my chest. i can do anything. i m better than anybody i know. i m better than anybodiy hire. i don t need a smart lawyer. but he did try to get ted olson, maybe one of the smartest lawyers ever. not only did he turn it down,
welcome back to hardball. 22 million people tuned in last night to watch stormy daniels break her silence on 60 minutes about an alleged sexual relationship with donald trump. 22 million. it was the highest rated broadcast for that show in almost a decade. in one of the most striking claims, daniels says she was threatened physically actually in 2011 not to go public with her story. i was in a parking lot going to a fitness class with my infant daughter. i was taking the seats facing backwards in the back seat, diaper bag, you know, getting all the stuff out. and guy walked up on me and said leave trump alone, forget the story. and then he leaned around and looked at my daughter. and said a beautiful little girl. it would be a shame if something happened to her mom. and then he was gone. you took it as a direct threat? absolutely. the threat and the concern for her safety she said were
impeach lawyer. despite all this, trump reverted to his bragging. many lawyers and top law firms want to represent me in the russian case. don t believe the fake news narrative that it is hard to find a lawyer who wants to take this on. fame and fortune will never be turned down by a lawyer, though some are conflicted. the problem is that a new lawyer or law firm will take months to get up to speed. if for no other reason than they can bill more. that s all trump talking, which is unfair to our great country. more trump. and i m very happy with my existing team. besides, there was no collusion with russia except by crooked hillary and the dems. trump s willingness to go it alone is now par for the course. for guy who famously said this of himself at the republican national convention nobody knows the system better than me. which is why i alone can fix it.
it s going to be fantastic. he is evil. he is terrible guy, blah, blah, blah. and he just had this sense of calm about him. so it doesn t surprise me. who is the evil guy, comey? yeah, comey. trump has spent literally if you go through his adult life, he in some form of litigation or another. so he is used to be surrounding by lawyers. and yes, he has a bad reputation as a client. he has a reputation for being slow to pay bills and for being impetuous. yeah. and so, yes, they re not seek him out as a client. okay. let s get back to where i m stronger, psychobabble. this is holy week, all right. and every one of our religions, it s important this week coming up. and everybody is talking about trump. everybody i talked to. i can t get in a car, i can t bump into anybody, all they want to do is talk about trump. i ve never seen them such obsessed. he must like this. i think nixon in a weird part of his psyche, in the midst of his impeachment liked it. i know he didn t like it
