Nixon, if you want to learn about watergate, learn about what the country was like and what was going on in the country. And the way to start understanding that is to understand 68. Oh, and theres a little bit of collusion in the victory in the end that is worth its actually Richard Nixon used collusion with the foreign government, the south vietnamese in order to win in the end. And for the rest of the story, playing with fire is now available in bookstores and online. If you can bear the sound of my voice for hours on end, the audiobook is available too. Thats tonights last word. The 11th hour with broian will jams is next. 15 million for flynn to have a turkish president s rival sent back to turkey. Also two republican senators tonight withdrawing their support for roy moore as the alabama candidate calls the Sexual Misconduct claims against him completely false. Were live in vietnam as President Trump is half a world away from the problems back home in washington. The 11th hour on
Floor. The real problem here is in the senate. Democrats seem to have reached their Breaking Point after supporting cr after cr. There have been four since october. And each time that happens the democrats have to go home to explain why it doesnt include any of the their protesters, most notably the daca issue. I think some of them have just gotten to the point where they can no longer explain. The fact that President Trump used that kind of language we heard from him last weekend in a private meeting, thats inflamed things as well. You have mark warren and tim kaine of virginia who voted for the last continuing resolution. You have Patrick Lay Hee Of Vermont who the opposed to the funding bill. We are looking at a scenario where the house is probably going to trying to get this wrapped up by 7 00 or 8 00 tonight. The senate might move quickly, but, again, very difficult to count to 60 votes in the senate. Were closer to a Government Shutdown than at any point since december 2013. I th
Disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. But according to the white house, the president has been advised he, he can terminate Robert Mueller all by himself. Does he believe he has the power to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller . Certainly believes he has the power to do so. Most legal experts believe he would have to order Deputy Attorney general rosenstein to fire mueller and corefuse. I know a number of individuals in the Legal Community and including at the department of justice said he has the power to do so but i dont have any further announcements. They told me, ive asked. They said its rosenstein oversees is the Special Counsel and only he has the power to fire the Special Counsel. Again, weve been advised that the president certainly has the power to make that decision. I cant go anything beyond that. Weve been advised the president certainly has the power to make the decision. To be clear, the warrants that were executed agains
In an investigation that implicates either me or my campaign because youre my Attorney General. Its my Justice Department and whats more, you can be a hero to conservatives if youll investigate my vanquished rival. When we meet with parliamentarians from emerging democracies we always urge them when you win an election, you dote seek to jail the losing side. Here our own president of the United States is trying to do exactly that. How big a deal is it fundamentally . Well, its a big deal in this respect. Its further evidence of a corrupt intent on the president s part. Further evidence that he may have violated the law by obstructing justice in the firing of comey. But in other efforts, as well. One of the other disturbing signs we saw just today is the president s announcement that hes going to pardon someone who had violated Campaign Finance laws by surreptitiously exceeding limits. It looks a lot like a message to Michael Cohen who may also be
implicated in exceeding Campaign Limits
Bit, im feeling fine now. Happy to have you back. The looking good. Oh, thank you. Youre outnumbered. I am. Thank you very much. Good to be here. President trumps legal team taking on tougher tone to deal with special counsel robert mueller, his new attorney Rudy Giuliani explaining why he doesnt want the president to sit down for an interview with robert mueller. Because they are trying to trap, you couldnt put a lawyer on the show who wants to keep his law license to tell you to testify. They dont have a case on collusion or obstruction, they are asking all kind of questions about what do you feel and think. I will walk him into prosecution for perjury . Giuliani was asked if he believes the president could be forced to testify before a grand jury, watch what he said. We dont have to, hes the president of the United States. We can assert the same privilege as other president s have. Are you confident the president will not take the fifth in this case . How could i be confident of tha
