i want to get to what is obviously the big history that was made today, articles of impeachment, but there is this sort of i i think a way to describe it as a shiny object, this offensive being orchestrated b for the purpose sort of riling up and reanimating donald trump s base before they hear any of the facts from the ig report yesterday. what do you make of christopher wrayat finding himself today in the uncomfortable position of being attacked by donald trump on twitter, and contradicted by the ag? it s okay to be uncomfortable and okay to be contradicted if you re speaking the truth. what directorpe wray did was spk the truth. the ig report found, the ig found and reported that there was no political bias or political motivation that infected the work of the foik. that s what director wray said. if you re contradicted for telling the truth, if you re uncomfortable because someone i attacking you for telling the truth, guess what, you told the truth. what do you think this fe

hatched some plot and they all came to the same conclusion. the investigation into russia was necessary and c called for donald trump s campaign and its 150 plus contacts were worthy of investigation. all the tactics as christopher wray said were justified even if they weren t all used perfectly as the report suggests there were problems. and then they re putting all their eggs in this one other guy, mr. durham who is going to find something none of the other four found. it s reckless. the thing about the president shi base is that theye primed for this. this is how he won the election this.on this is how he s continued to maintain the support that he has which is obviously not as it s not anything close to a majority. and it s just that he s the victim. he s always the victim. and they are out to get us. andge whoever they is could be anybody at anyth given time. any of the people you mentioned. and you know, now he is going to pivot to this report, and cherry
pick things out of it whether it s everyone will kind of come away from it with what they would like to see in it. as he did with the ig report, and we ll see that happen here. so it almost is a foregone conclusion. not that it doesn t matter what s in the report, but it doesn t in the sense that the president s going to say what he wants to aboutto it and he s gog to find things in there that suit his narrative, and his base is, again, primed to continue to hear this sort of narrative, in which the president is always the victim and theye are out t get him. phil, try to tie these two big headlines together for us. we know donald trump didn t want to be impeached. he will be. we know donald trump and his supporters pointed to horowitz for years as the investigation that was there sort of counter programming to the mueller probe. how do the two blows land among people who still tell the truth at the building you cover? part of what president trump and his allies are doing is i
