They are not on the same page on this crucial issue of Obstruction Of Justice. Why do you think the president is so against questions about Obstruction Of Justice given that the Public Record on this speaks for itself . He said one thing to nbc news and another thing on twitter. Why wouldnt he answer questions when he has been so public about it . What is his issue with it . I think the president does want to sit down with bob mueller and his Legal Counsel is advising him against this. Every good attorney wants to make sure that their client doesnt make any statements that can come back to cause them pain in the future.

Theyre putting this false deadline out there that he has to finish by September 1st because, you know, thats department of Justice Policy, to not come close to an election. Thats a great Ov Oversimplification of what the department of Justice Policy is.

Also on this, just breaking tonight, minutes ago, the Associated Press is reporting that the National Enquirer kept a safe with documents on hush money payments and other killed stories that were damaging specifically to trump. A safe. Do you know anything about that . I actually dont know anything about it. I havent been at the company for quite a while. But then again, it wouldnt surprise me. Because when you have ammunition, it gives you a lot more ability to get to people who you want david pecker owns a stable of publications. Its not just the National Enquirer.
