time as we get through summer and get to the issues of it s the economy. my question about hearing this weaponization of the justice department stuff that we ve been hearing this past week is why would president biden want to see donald trump prosecuted as many republicans allege when it seems president biden wants to run against donald trump? well, i mean, that s the grand question. maria will say joe biden and president biden is not the one contradiction there? it is when he takes credit of what the department of justice does on other occasions. he has nothing to do with this. and as you know, there is a barrier between even merrick garland and what he is doing because of the special counsel. and so i think that is the focus of what is going on with trump. but to go back to your question about desantis and not being able to move forward in the polls, it seems like the more trump gets indicted the higher his polls go up, the more that ron desantis is out am campaign,
there you go. senator, thank you for being here. thank you, rachel. let me ask you about some of the justice department stuff we ve just been learning about. a new name has been floated as potential attorney general nominee william barr who served in that role as a.g. a short time during the george bush administration. we also have some interesting administration out of the justice department today about recusal in the mueller investigation. i want to squu aboask you about too. what s your reaction to the william barr trial balloon? first we don t know who he is going to put in place. i haven t worked with him. i do think he is worthy of consideration. i am concerned he has said some negative things about the special counsel s office and some of the prosecutors he had in place. but that s all i know right now. again, what we want to see is a nominee so we want them to put someone forward so we can quickly start interviewing them, get their documents, figure out what s going on be
president in 2020. there. i just put it right out there. there you go. there i go. senator, thank you for being here. thank you, rachel. let me ask you about some of this justice department stuff we ve just been learning about. a new name has been floated as potential attorney general nominee william barr, who served in what role as ag for a short time during the george h.w. bush administration. we also got some interesting information out of the justice department today about recusal in the mueller investigation. i want to ask you than too. but what s your reaction to the william barr trial balloon. first of all, we don t know if that s who he is going to put in place. i haven t worked with him. i do think he is worthy of consideration. i am concerned he has said some negative things about the special counsel s office and some of the prosecutors he had in place, but that s all i know right now. but, again, what we want to see is a nominee. so we d like them to put someone fo
the union. it s a fire point, but military judges aren t necessarily independent. part of the chain of command. for the commander in chief. that s the only thing point i ve heard john kirby and others make. your take? yeah, to me it seems inappropriate. i mean, i don t really know i don t really see the argument for him getting involved in these things, and i think the point of, you know, him talking about with the justice department stuff, the most important thing is even if he wasn t actually going over the line, which i think you chronicled pretty well that he does step over the line pretty frequently. just by saying these things, he s telling them what he wants them to do. if you re really staying out of something and letting an investigation go forward without interfering then you don t speak publicly or telegraph in any way what you want and you don t put pressure on people to do the things the way you want them done. here is a tweet from a former obama white house
