answer which is to say not my rule to answer. it s a good question and one the trump organization hasn t given a good answer to. it s been going on for years. the new york time found a number of undocumented workers who come forward because they wanted to make their stories known because they thought there was some hypocrisy at the golf clubs for them to be employed. they say knowingly by an organize headed by a person who now president of the united states and trying to take touch a hard line on illegal immigration. it begs the question why he wouldn t have had his clubs and his organizations do a better screen of this in the first place knowing he would come under scrutiny like this. everybody would have understood reporters, and opposition figures would have been trolling for examples of this kind of thing. surprising he didn t make a point of avoiding this exact scenario.
in favor of it, every democrat who voted in favor of the drug legislation have already admitted that we have a huge drug problem in this country. nick comes to the 300 people died from heroin overdoses a week in this country, 90% are coming over the southern border. fentanyl, cocaine, we have to stop it. spew what i want to look at the poles with you because it appears to the polls here at fox and other places that the presis getting blamed for this. the approval number is down three points. his disapproval is up two points. the question, who s to blame for the shutdown? president trump gets 51% in the fox poll. democrats only get 34%. how does the president feel about that? does that feel difficult for him? him? will that push them to make a compromise he wouldn t have made prior to that? the president is not looking at the polls, he is looking at the policies on the crisis at the border. he is not keeping a campaign
questions. he wouldn t have had a lot of overlap, at least that we know of with the alan weisselberg work. it s hard to speculate because there is so much redaction. but just from looking at the text that s unredacted, we know there s an investigation that s being run out of the justice department that is not part of the very large, almost sprawling mueller probe that michael flynn has relevant information on and that s something without a doubt would be disturbing to the white house. another thing important to remember going back a little earlier to those rudy giuliani quotes, including lots of all caps, giuliani would not it s like a brain transfer, right? we read these things and it looks wacky. but giuliani would not be saying this unless the president was okay with it. when he speaks, the president watches. when he goes on tv, and he puts out these statements and remarks, trump knows. if trump wanted him to rein himself in and to dial down the bluster and stop calling muelle
that he wouldn t have told candidate trump. and remember at the time it was very strange for a lot of political reporters that donald trump was hiring paul man for the. he was a figure from the past in terms of republican politics. and a lot of us were wondering what is manafort bringing to the campaign, why would donald trump bring paul manafort. he was looking for some alternative to cory lewandowski, but manafort came in and we know through the spring and summer the trump campaign released open to overtures from russians offering as we know in the trump tower meeting some kind of dirt on hillary clinton. so there are a number of things along the way that draw again president trump into these kind of really the dark arts of political campaigning. hacks and leaks and he spent the entire fall championing wikileaks for what it was doing even though you could argue this was a hack of a major
felon. he pled guilty remember. and the president is not performing his job as chief law enforcement person in the country. and again, he should be very careful how he deals with paul manafort because of the possibility of obstruction of justice. i want to ask you about something he said in the interview with the washington post. the president says he has no intention of stopping the mueller probe. he says in part the mueller investigation is what it is. the question has been asked about me for almost two years and he is still there. he wouldn t have to be, but he is still there, so i have no intention of doing anything. congressman, you ve been adamant that there needs to be a formal bill to protect mueller. is it time to let the issue go? it has been two years and he hasn t done anything. take him at his word, he will leave him alone. well, first of all, he has done something. he fired attorney general sessions simply because and
