the pressure is just building every day for impeachment. and you know, we got more evidence today leaked out from the redacted portions of the report which confirm everybody s sense there was presidential obstruction of justice. we knew of 10 or 11 episodes of it that were invoked in the unredacted portions by special counsel mueller. now we know about you know, more evidence of it coming from michael flynn. it just seems overwhelming. i think there were more than 800 federal prosecutors, that his former colleagues of the attorney general, who came out and said add when they read the redacted version of the report, they are convinced that this would be brought as an obstruction of justice prosecution and an indictment in federal court against anybody other than the president and the special counsel says out of deference to the rule that the doj doesn t indict is the president, we ll kick it over to the house of representatives.
piling on, suspicion of even if they get the full report, nothing about the president, is that just because the doj doesn t indict sitting presidents so they want to see everything tlels? and at every stage of the game it s going to be an awkward fight with the doj. if you take them to court it s also their prosecutors that are going to be fighting you. but also, at every turn there s a political argument to be made. if you fall short of impeach you can use this on the campaign trail going down the road. that s going to be the balancing act. investigations going on in the congress. personal e-mail use, trump s taxes, meetings with putin, the democrats are just opening new doors. the question is how they re going to prioritize all of those things. but i think it s going to be really interesting. you mentioned the campaign. it s going to be interesting to see how this breaks down on the campaign trail because you have several candidates that actually
what the white house gets. from the president s allies, we ve seen that the information that s come out so far has been legally exculpatory that, it doesn t indict the president personally or members of his campaign team for being engaged in some sort of conspiracy of russia. aren t the levels of his allies you ve got the hard core kellyanne conways that are human shields but then you have the mitch mcconnells. are they in a different position for how they view this report? somewhat, but through conservative media and his conservative all is that rely on exculpa tch exculpatory evidence and less on the fact that the president was surrounded by individuals in sordid relationships like wikileaks, that has a connection to russian intelligence, just by virtue of saying the president seems to be absolved from any sort of conspiracy with russian officials, russian intelligence,
regardless of the third party thing i think it tells you a lot more about white billion areas, they should be in charge. he the doesn t indict donald trump he indicts the democratic party, i have a question about what his mission here is he gets to run on his own as an independent and it hurts and that s just a bleep awful thing to do. laura: they seem a tad worried, don t they? they re having a total freak out over starbucks ceo howard schultz who is considering, pond erring a run for the presidency. i have a question for my democratic friends. have you thought that maybe just maybe howard schultz isn t the problem? joining me now is adam former advisor to hillary clinton. adam you referred to yourself schultz as a self centered and have been pushing a website called protest schultz.com. what are the democratic party so
russian government hacking. they could bring this case as soon as next year. the move picking up the russia side of this deal. this is not legally a new strategy. do you remember who trump sxhird then fired? he was indicted in 2015. as a member of national security, the doj clearly thinks the , the walls are closing in on donald trump s alternative facts. mr. trump, your doj doesn t indict for all this meddle? that s building a case against your denials. well, i think it was russia and i think it could have been other people in other countries. nobody really knows. nobody really knows for sure. with me, ken and richard.
