because i m the president of the united states i am not supposed to be involved with the justice department, i m not supposed to be involved with the fbi. i m not supposed to be doing the kinds of things that i would love to be doing, and i am very frustrated by that. back now with the panel. brian, we didn t get to hear from you. what do you make of the day s developments today? i guess there s three. we ll go one by one. what we learned about jared is he s fully cooperating, he volunteered the information, same information he volunteered to all the congressional committees looking into this russia stuff, he s been transparent, and i think that s what you want. that s not certainly somebody who s hiding anything. that s somebody who is focussed on the president s agenda. although a number of his declaration forms did have to be amended multiple times. sure. and others will be amended as they go forward with other people. the fact is he amended them. he didn t stick to whatever
with that, i don t know anything about it. that would be a lie, it would be an actionable false statement for which papadopoulos tells us, you could go to jail for several years, that s the greatest risk for the president. ed? i m almost stunned to listen to this. i mean, we re speculating about things that didn t happen, might happen, you have him on perjury charges. today s news is that we have a junior staffer who says in a meet i meeting that he was big timing. i don t know if anyone s ever been on a campaign. there are people who say, i ll do this, i ll do that. i have donors, whatever. how do you know he s big timing. he did have contact with you can see it, and they ve all said that they no one did anything with it, the fact that it s not remembered by anybody, is an indication this is a guy
pointed out. all the authority of all the special councils and rosen stein comes from the president. i have to get another quick break in. brian, you didn t have a chance to yeah, i would say everybody says, should the president be aggressive against mueller? it s important to remember at the end of the day, this is going to be a political trial, the information is going to be sent back to congress. any time you re dealing with a political trial, you have to deal with it politically, not criminally. i m not going to tell the president s lawyers they re doing anything wrong. you can t forget the political part of this, if we re going to play politics with this, we should be more aggressive in highlighting the politics behind it. i would call this the dream deem of democratic activist donors. maybe it s mueller s approach to say, if these guys look through everything and can t find anything, that s what exists. more ahead with the panel and the president calls on congress to end
because applicants are selected in an annual lottery. the people put in that lottery are not that country s finest. we know that the program presents significant vulnerabilities to our national security. it s a very unsafe program for our country and we re not going to allow it to happen. yesterday sarah huckabee sanders said there s no vetting in the program. that s not the case. they re vetted as much as anyone else who comes to this country. what do you think of this program? it was a bipartisan program when it was developed. a lot of people have been trying to get rid of it. absolutely. but let s make sure. i take umbrage as a new yorker that it got blamed on chuck schumer. i don t think there s anything
hear out a man in a meeting. are you aware of everyone in touch with your campaign had any contacts with russia? general flun was dealing, so that s one person. during the election? no, nobody that i know of. you re not aware of anybody look, look, how many times do i have to answer this question. russia is a ruse. is there a contradiction there? maybe, we don t know. there is a lot that we re trying to read tea leaves on and speculate about. it is clear that the president is extremely sensitive about this. he s very obsessed with this investigation. we know that from what he said, his tweets. that s what the people around him who are trying to keep him under control and not do anything rash, what they fear is, he may act on ilpulse, he may simply get so annoyed by
