expect the trump base to say if our president ordered, it if barr did it, if sessions did, it it must have been justified? they will say that. that s a given and they will say that. what you will hear from mcconnell or mccarthy, i wish you had a cricket sound you could play right now. that s exactly what you would hear. crickets. they will have nothing to say about this they won t have anything to pine on about the other corruption of the justice department. the crap stain of trumpism that s infected every organization we will find out of government. there s nothing they re going to say about it because they don t want to deal with it. remember, it s the same crowd that said nothing about january six other than it was a tourist attraction. you don t expect them to come to the table the way my friend
sometimes the news is overwhelming around here. michael, i want to ask what you expect to hear from republicans. after i say this, i heard from a prom innocent democrat tonight after this news broke who wanted me to say the democrats should expect nothing, zero from this politically. both lanes will stay as they are. they shouldn t play victimization. they shouldn t look for sympathy. this is going to move no one though it will trigger hearings and probably dick nate a few months of our lives. should we expect the trump base to say, well, if our president ordered it, if barr and sessions did it, it must have been justified. that s a given to say that. what you will hear from mcconnell and mccarthy i wish you had a cricket sound to play
well, some of them are. i shouldn t say well, a lot of them. there s enough that you hear the crickets. there s enough for the cricket sound to be apt. look, this is why people hate politics. this is one of the big reasons that trump was able to become president, because the level of disaffection is so high, the expectations are so low that when somebody comes in who seems like they re going to be disruptive and they re playing to your outrage and your anger at the system and at these other things that other people are too afraid to talk about, it s not that they re too afraid. they re too smart. they re too subtle. they re too sophisticated. now you ve got a guy who has a shot that should have never had one. they said about obama everything they truly believed in. now they say none of it. i m not crazy about the democrats that threaten to do the same thing, but that s the game. that s the game. well, as an observer of politics because you know i sit here, and you came from a p
spine because now we know something crystal clear. this president will clearly do only what he thinks is best for him. thank you for watching. cnn tonight with d. lemon starts right now. i hope his party finds their spine because isn t this supposed to be the party of strict constitutionalists? mm-hmm. what happened to that and all the criticism for i just remember during the last president, president obama, towards the end of office, he was trying to get a whole lot of things done and no one was working with him. he said, i ve got the power of the pen. and just about every republican came out, you can t do that. you re subverting the authority you re a king! you re not a monarch. you re not royalty. what are you doing? and now crickets. well, some of them are. i shouldn t say well, a lot of them. there s enough that you hear the crickets. there s enough for the cricket sound to be apt.
