he told investigators that trump had tried to hire mueller and then asked his aides to lie about it. so if trump had been prosecuted for obstruction, mcgahn would have been the prosecution s most important witness. trump refused to let mcgahn testify in congress. he made this bizarre claim about absolute immunity. so alex, there s been this pitch battle in the courts which culminated with this deal so there will be a transcript that s released next week about mcgahn s testimony yesterday. right. we ll get details with the tran crypt and let me read from jerry nadler. mr. mcgahn testified at length to an extremely dangerous period in our nation s history, in which president trump increasingly unhinged and fearful of his own liability, and mr. mcgahn was distressed by president trump s refusal to
awful video of ray rice knocking out his girlfriend in the elevator we re going to hire mueller who works for a firm that does business with the nfl. now he s not just suspended, but we re going to banish him, we re going to give him what we now know as the kaepernick treatment. we re basically going the execute him. so when we think of so when i hear about the mueller report coming out now and we now go back to 2014, not being too cynical, but we kind of know how this story probably is going to turn out. there is going to be you should have done this, you should have did this. but if those people who are waiting for something really terrible, like impeachment or people really do not like the president think this is going to be it, it s not going to happen. it s not going to happen. there is a similar narrowness to these two investigations. you look back at this report, it was on ray rice.
reaction that you guys get? honestly, no one has asked about this in two years. everyone has known it was nonsense. it was a big catalyst because the media needed it to be true. they needed something out there to say this is why trump won. the media did not fire comey or hire mueller. what s he talking about? we re going to find out shortly what bob mueller as. we should do this as a public service announcement, that nobody know what is he has. we don t know what this evidence is going to show, but it s a lot more than anybody will know. but this president with his alternative realities has really proven his ability, though, you know, to create these alternative there s nothing here to see, there s nothing here to see. just take the saudi arabia issue. he says he didn t do it. well, he must not have done it. this ability he has to sort of
agents and other administrative employees have the same problem with a hole in their texts. how could it be that sh a big conspiracy was undertaken jus to hide what these two people were saying from you? chris, you re talking about undermining the president of the united states. of course it s one hell of a conspiracy, and people at the top levels of our government were involved in it. that s why this is so treacherous. that s why we ve got to find out. you made mention of trump interviewing mueller. i think that s one heck of a point. mueller interviewing trump. i know that s what you re dreaming about, but that ain t what s happening, my friend. no. it was trump interviewing mueller for the fbi position. so it s one heck of a note that he interviews mueller for the position, decides he doesn t want to hire mueller, and within 24 hours, rosenstein has appointed mueller to investigate the president. i don t know rosenstein was the president s choice who he relied on. now we c
again. it feels like we ve loaded the gun and don t make us pull the trigger. a lot of questions about whether those bills are constitutional. they could do something real simple like have a resolution with 100 members of the senate saying if you fire the special prosecutor, we re going to take very serious action. what is serious action? what is accountability? i think the constitutional argument is a strong one. congress could hire mueller. a lot of people have recommended that. let s put democrats in the majority. checks and balances. do you want the democrats to be running an impeachment? no. don t you think it is inevitable because the base wants it? and why certain members of the house bring it up boggles my mind. i love congressman green but i think it gets in the way of a
