president as the misfit he s always be that should prick up everyone s ears regardless of their political persuasion. tim o brien, why? because he has taken this sort of nonsensical debate with the media about whether he was right about the path of a hurricane, which he could have disposed of by simply saying i was wrong, let s move on, and he started to force scientists and data analysts in the federal government to change their story, back him up, cover him up, essentially to lie. and i think this gets a the same thing we were speaking about at the u.s. air force using his hotels. donald trump is corrupting the wheels of the federal government to serving his private interests or his reputational concerns. the only difference here is that this actually is illegal. lying about the weather is illegal. not if you re president. because when people do not trust the weather, they die. it is a one to up with correlation here. if people cannot trust the hurricane reports, then they wi
218, right? yeah. congressman, i pose that question to you. what is your plan to get to 218? well, you ve seen courageous colleagues of mine like lauren underwood and katie porter. and if they were just political weather vanes, they would cautiously avoid holding the president accountable. but i think they sense that how can you not support having an impeachment inquiry with this president? if you don t do it with him, who would you ever do it with? i think they are models for others who are still considering it. and again, i don t think the number of people supporting impeachment will go down. it s only going to continue to go up. so what s the timeline here, congressman? we are approaching primary season very quickly. and at one point, the focus will have to be very much so on the 2020 election. will there come a point where you say, okay, we have to put this aside. next week we ll have corey lewandowski before the committee. what you ll hear from his testimony is that the
scientist is investigating why the agency backed trump over its own experts. all of this reviving so-called sharpiegate, where trump displayed a doctored map of dorian s path. the other story we re following is about trump s turnberry golf resort in cleveland reporting that air force members stayed there last fall. that s in addition to an overnight stop at turnberry they made this spring, a trip revealed on friday. political reporting, the military has also spent $11 million on fuel at a small commercial airport nearby helping to keep the airport in business. joining me now is tim o brien, executive order of bloomberg view and author of trump nation. his new piece is on trump, sharpiegate, turnberry, the taliban and chaos. boy you had to do a lot of research for that, tim o brien, i can imagine. packing a lot of heat into one title. and back with me is elie mystal. first i m going go with you,
message themselves, that if you re in this administration at this time, it behooves you to patronize the president s property is. so if that in fact is the case, what tim just spelled out, maybe it s not necessarily a direct message from the president, hey, stop over at this airport. why not stay at my hotel, but instead an indirect message of we get the message. we ll do this. what are the legal implications of that? unfortunately, very much nothing at all. the courts have done for the past really during the roberts court, they ve done a lot to weaken our public corruption laws as they are. there is a reason why chris christie never got charged with bridgegate, right? they ve weakened our public corruption laws as they are. trump is violating every kind of norm and standard of decency, but he is not violating the letter of the law, because there is no letter of the law. and i do think that democrats should maybe, i don t know, think about that while they hold power in congress. an
he said he s an ideas guy. he said he would vote for the person who is most in line with his ideas. which you would naturally assume, let s say it was bernie sanders, elizabeth warren or joe biden up against donald trump, donald trump would be more in line with mark sanford s ideas than the other three candidates i just named. what does that say you? i would say he is running in the republican primary. the difference between him and justin amash. justin amash is no longer in the republican party. you re making a stance. shouldn t you say you would not be voting for donald trump if he were to lose to donald trump? if you make that second person question to me, yes. but i m not a republican. he is running in a republican primary, right? so he is not going to rule that out. mark sanford is not going to vote for donald trump. let s be clear about that. he is either not going to vote for vote for a libertarian or maybe depending on how things are going in south carolina, he would vote
