greatly expand republican voting strength, which is why the trump administration loves it and why they re telling people so this is political? it s totally political. they have bogus legal claims. there are documents that congressman cummings and seeking involving letters, documents, emails between the trump campaign, the trump inaugural committee, and the justice department, and they re saying we re not going to give you these documents. they have no attorney/client privilege, they have no executive privilege. this guy who just testified, he s a private citizen. first of all, only the president can claim executive privilege, but that s about protecting conversations between the president and his top officials. it has nothing to do with this coback guy who s just a political flunky who wanted to gerrymander to dilute the voting power. now, noelle, how do you
president. one of the articles included him gossiping agent legislatures. that didn t work. there is no point. paul, you better agree with me on this, i m not playing today, everything in the law is a balancing test, right? you have to balance. so what is important to the constituents? as opposed to impeachment. how are you going to get a democratic in the presidency? think about that. stop wasting time with the impeachment. let the prosecutors do what they are paid to do. they are going to get him. the problem is that the foreign general of the united states. the flunky for the president,
we just don t know if he s going to be true to his word. all i can say is so far so good. the letter nick is talking about, a little pull out, his letter to congress in which he said i remain committed to as much transparency as possible. i remain cynical. are you on the cynical side with me or optimistic side with nick? is trump s flunky going to release a report that might be damaging to his sugar daddy? i don t think so. i don t know why we think that barr isn t the one who stopped the investigation. this is a 22 month long investigation, barr has been on the scene a month and now we re done? that doesn t strike anybody as odd? no. i have absolutely no confidence that bill barr will do anything other than what is in the best interest of donald trump. now, what might be in the best interest of donald trump is to release information about all the people that mueller prosecuted and why and release information about all the reasons mueller didn t choose to prosecute trump or his chi
president of the united states can use a flunky in the attorney general s office to bury an investigation against himself? absolutely not. joy, i think we need to think of it in these terms. number one, regardless of what comes out of the mueller report, and we all need to be patient and wait for those results, that doesn t mean we need to be placated by what comes out of that report, the american people and our american congress does not need the mueller report, joy, as a permission slip to continue investigating donald trump for the committing of crimes that as everyone has said this morning, has happened before our very eyes. having said that, i believe in robert mueller. i think that everything we ve heard about this man in terms of duty to country, duty to the rule of law, suggests to me we have take very seriously what comes out of that investigation and recognizing it s very limited in scope. at the end of the day, do we wait for the mueller report? absolutely. should the muel
so that coordination potentially is very important. jim, i saw you shaking your head earlier. i think that s right except for why did he do it? i think that s what we come back to, did it have something to do with helping the campaign or was it that he was trying to repay a debt that he owed? and i think that s what we re all waiting to see with mueller s report. essentially giving off polling data as a way of buying favor. currying favor. was he acting in the scope of a chairman or trying to protect paul manafort? jim is raising a legitimate question. think about how far this investigation has come. here you have the campaign chairman, not a flunky, the coffee boy, giving someone who is close to russian intelligence information that is the gold, the most expensively produced product of the trump campaign, private polling.
