And crucially he knows he is not supposed to do what hes doing, not supposed to get involved, admitting at much in a Radio Interview yesterday. You know, the saddest thing is that because im the president of the United States, i am not supposed to be involved with the Justice Department. Im not supposed to be involved with the fbi. Im not supposed to be doing the kind of things that i would love to be doing. And i am very frustrated by it. I look at whats happening with the Justice Department. Why arent they going after Hillary Clinton with her emails and with her the dossier. If we havent yet heard widespread calls for impeachment, its because this president s disregard for the rule of law for democratic norms, his authoritarian impulses are largely baked in in the countrys perception, even among political insiders. It was just a couple of days ago, for example, that he called the american criminal Justice System a joke and a laughing stock. On top of that, all indications are that th
jury a week ago and had to resign pull back from his nomination to be at usda this week as a result of these disclosures. but mueller has some answers about what trump s response is, and i think that s very critical. i would just say i think that the march 31st meeting is extremely important, but i think the key to all of this is looking at it from what happened after papadopoulos was informed by this russia-linked professor that the russians had these thousands and thousands of e-mails that they said came from hillary clinton s campaign. when he essentially learned that the russians had dirt and they wanted to give it to the trump campaign. after that you saw a consistent effort by papadopoulos to reach out to high-level members of the trump campaign, apparently not j.d. gordon and jeff sessions because they shot him down but to paul manafort, corey lewandowski, to pitch this trump/russia meeting. why did he want the president or
foreign policy-wise men or women. but the key here that s significant is let s go back to that march meeting where he proposes this to set up something between trump and putin and he says this in trump s presence. papadopoulos has cut a deal with mueller. he no doubt has been questioned very closely on how the president responded to that proposal. we ve had accounts that sessions shot it down. others were skeptical. what did president trump say when papadopoulos in his presence says, i ve been meeting with russians who can set up a meeting between you and president putin. and i think that is really the biggest question that hangs over

donald trump looked completely done, unfit, ineffective, when the lying was too reckless to igno ignore, when headlines announced it was trump s worst week. and still has donald trump begins his 11th month in office, it seems announcing that it was trump s worst week. still, as donald trump begins his 11th month in office, it seems nothing can dissolve us or him of his presidency. how should we join this week in his presidency? joy reid joins me next to discuss. this is me when i feel controlled by frequent, unpredictable abdominal pain or discomfort and diarrhea. i tried lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments, but my symptoms keep coming back.
