to go back and work on something that s going to be meaningful. but, you know, i m definitely sure that the trump administration or i m sorry donald trump is going to be at the border for purely political purposes. let me bring the representative in on this discussion because a group of house republicans will reportedly join trump on his visit this week. you get the sense that the republican party sees immigration as a winning message. you know the base down there in texas. sure. thanks for having me out this morning. good to be on with commissioner stout. look the reality is that when republicans get in a jam, especially greg abbott our governor who invited the president down. making sure we don t have power outages and making sure we can keep the lights on and making sure that we take care of our kids and our own child protective services agency.
election, what did the russian elections do and when did they do it? what elt matly everyone has been working to get to, whatever the facts indicate is what the facts of the matter were. let s be clear. donald trump fired james comey and lied about it. and that was exposed. then he admitted the letter that said they had to fire him because he was too mean to hillary clinton. too mean. too mean to hillary. and that it was false, that s a fact that he lied about something that central. and according to the new york times and sources klaus like don mcgahn, he tried to have bob mueller fired. that could have been a crime if he pulled it off, and that presumably is also part of this investigation. another thing you ll get to, isn t it interesting, chris,
to come, and certainly at least one or two of the prosecutors can stay on board to handle that case. you wouldn t normally turn over to a whole new prosecutor a case that you ve investigated and indicted. so it would be surprising if someone from the special counsel s office didn t try that case. but there are a lot of unanswered questions. now, they could be answered in the special report. it could say what about cohen s phone in prague. one it there or was it there. it could say, yes, there is a phone call and, yes, we know that donald trump sr. knew that donald trump jr. was meeting and he knew what the purpose of the meeting was in june in the trump tower. these things need to be answered. or the opposite. it could be we found no evidence or we found evidence showing definitively that he didn t.
about and some of the names we know are redacted, or it could be more. i think it is fascinating that bar has decided to give himself a weekend time frame. i it would have been totally reasonable, chris, as you know, for him to say three business days or by the end of next week because there s no automatic assumption of misconduct here. indeed what we should note in all of america tonight is 22 months ago donald trump fired james comey, said he did it because of russia, and thought, i dare anyone to deal with this, we do it my way. and rod rosenstein and some others in the justice department said no. they basically held the line, and later when he tried to fire mueller, his own white house counsel held the line. tonight if we know nothing else, we know trump failed to remove
hillary clinton, that was released all these things, if donald trump sr. was that, he s a co-con speen sospirator and ie trump administration is a wrap. which of these various entities would indict the crime? the southern district of new york or mueller? who would that be? mueller would and probably will indict stone. mueller will follow the doj position that a sitting president can t be indicted but if the president is implicated in a conspiracy, already is with michael cohen, if implicated by mueller in a conspiracy with the 12 shouldn t that be enough? maybe not this senate. i know it s christmas time. i don t know, lindsey graham doesn t sound like any interest no matter what is found.
