details, listen, this is what i admire about you. no matter what it is or controversy whatever it is you go through, you talk about it and you turn into, even if it s a challenge, either knowledge for some other people or some sort of positive. thank you for doing that. so you tested positive in mid-december. yes. than you said new year s you spent in the hospital. i mean, that s a while. you know, i mean, how long was it? usually it s like ten days. no. it was at least three weeks for me. i mean, you know, i got i was informed i thought i had contracted it. the symptoms were there on the 16th. the 17th it had gotten worse. by that afternoon i was alerted that i had contracted covid. from that standpoint, i was still feeling under the weather for a few days, but i went on
they have money to run the government for a cup ouple mont. yeah. you have sinema and manchin again saying not so fast. what happens? democrats. yes. we don t know what happens. chuck schumer, the democratic leader, is saying, you know, we want to do this in mid-december. and i intend to do it. i think the big question here is what the president of the united states can do. and that means he s got to sort of figure out what is within the realm of the doable and whether he can cajole and coax these folks into doing something that right now they clearly don t want to do. yeah. and, you know, i would never predict what s going to happen in this situation. if it happens it will be, like, last minute or something like that. exactly. the bigger question for democrats by the way, the republicans have their own internal problems that have blown up this week. but they have a bigger issue, it
it about this story that you have to go to these lengths to protect? this story which doesn t seem to be anything scandalous has cause grown adults to risk years in prison to try to keep it under wraps. what the red neon arrow is pointing at is whatever this line of communication that goes from the trump campaign to roger stone to jerome corsi to wikileaks. i have never cared about that before, but boy do i now boy do i now, now that i know the links to which these characters were willing to go to make sure that stayed secret and briefly, there is just one last point to know about the roger stone indictment, which i think points us to what we may be able to expect next, or at least where we should look to figure that out. there was a way to know this indictment was coming. in mid-december, carol lenning
was a lead reporter on this story in the washington post which reported that robert mueller had requested an official transcript of stone s testimony to the house intelligence committee now, we reported that on this show the night of december 19th because it was the washington post suggesting pretty overtly in that story that that request from mueller to get the official transcript, that might be a sign that mueller was about to indict roger stone for lying in that testimony. that would explain why mueller needed an official transcript of what stone had said. that prediction from carol lenning and her co-authors in the washington post in mid-december proved to be exactly right. he did get indicted for false testimony in that testimony that mueller got the official transcript of in mid-december. because of that we spent today trying to figure out who else has had their transcript peeked at by special counsel robert mueller. what we found is not necessarily what you would expect, b
congress said yes. the committee said yes just before the president shut down the government, that committee voted unanimously to turn over the official transcript of roger stone s testimony to the intelligence committee which had taken place in september 2017. they voted to turn that transcript over to robert mueller. now, in mid-december, the washington post flagged that as a sign that muller might be moving soon to charge roger stone with making false statements in that testimony, otherwise why would he need an official transcript of stone s remarks? the washington post was right in that prediction today the special counsel charged roger stone with five counts of making false statements to congress which raises the question of whether or not muller has asked to look at anybody else s transcripts, right interesting question, it turns out. i can tell you that we have a single source tonight, and it is just a single source, but it is a source close to the investigation who tells us
