him still and say, let s remember what side we re on? don t look at evidence, don t think about black/white relations in this country, how we can get along with each other, think about how much we hate each other. let s fight. that s exactly what it is. this is dictator in training 101. everybody hates you. i m the one who loves you. the media hates you and the department of justice is out to get you. those black people are out to get you. they re terrible. this is trump s campaign all along from the white nationalals he brought into his administration. i will say, a lot of these openers agree with trump. they didn t have to do this out of fear. you look at some of the comments from the owner of the panthers, the houston texans they were just and angry and has tile for their black working staff as trump is in the white house. why didn t he negotiate with them? there is a common way to do this right. people, express themselves
senators that despite what the evidence is, despite how overwhelming it might be, to david s point earlier, he could go on fifth avenue and shoot someone and the people will stand by him. if those 34 republican senators will vote not to remove him in il peachment proceedings, he wins. he may tear the country part in the process. that may it be his end game. donald trump cares about one thing only. it s himself. i don t know that he has a perspective on the institution of the presidency. i wish some reporters would go out and go door 0 door of the zunts senate and ask all the senators if donald trump or any president shot someone on fifth avenue point blank in broad daylight, would you vote to remove him from office or not. i m telling you, you re going to have a hard time getting dozens of those republicans to say even then would they move to take this guy out of office. no comment. they re all scared to death. they would just send their thoughts and prayers, chris. thank you
there was a spy in his campaign. on the contrary, james clapper confirmed an informant was needed because of evidence based n investigation showing that there was a need for someone to go into the campaign and find out what the heck was going on with the russians trying to communicate with the potential future president of the united states. again, i go back to the reverse universe where you say suppose we had an fbi that did not check out evidence that the russians were messing with our presidential election including one of the campaigns that they were taking one of the sides. if they were not doing that, what would we make of the fbi in terms of counter intelligence? were they doing their job? of course, not. well the president continued to purposefully misrepresent the fact on twitter this morning, falsely saying that the former director of national intelligence, james clapper has now admitted that there was spying in my campaign.
we re back with the hardball roundtable. ayesha, tell me something i don t know. the fbi had been telling it the public and congress that nearly, there were nearly 8,000 phones that were encrypted and they couldn t access potential evidence in criminal investigations due to this. it turns out the number of phones they re dealing with that have encryptions are a fraction of that and they ve been double counting or counting duplicates and so that information the fbi just released that information this week. okay. thank you. ginger? midterm to watch, amy mcgrath retired marine pilot who won the primary in kentucky this week has got internal polling that has her 15 points ahead of the republican incumbent andy barr. and new numbers, her fund
jones and msnbc political analyst, heidi priz ba la, and seth waxman, a former federal prosecutor. david, this is a rabbit holy think. i think the justice department has been drawn down into the rabbit hole. i don t know why they agreed to this meeting or talking about their evidence. the president is the defendant in this case in all effects. why are they giving his lawyer access to the meeting, his chief of staff access to the meeting, and why are they even meeting with these people? they re investigating them. i ve never heard of investigators meeting with the people they re investigating to go over their evidence to see if it s okay that they use it. it s extraordinary. it s a continuation of what we ve seen for over a year now. first they said unmasking was the real scandal. it wasn t. then they said obama bugging trump was the scandal. no, it wasn t. fisa warrant, uranium one and now it s this phony baloney
