This appears as the closest weve seen yet to reallive actual collusion. Tonight what looks like the end of the collusion debate as the manafort bomb shell lands on capitol hill. Plus what we learned of the fate of Rod Rosenstein and as the trump shutdown continues. This is not a fight i wanted. I am proud to shutd down the government. Skblrks on the government workers held hostage. Stop playing chicken with our lives. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Its been just one full day since the president s very First Oval Office address to the nation and i defy you to quote a single line from it. Trumps transparently desperate attempt to talk his way out of the bind hes put himself in, did manage to squeeze out one news cycle and here we are on day 19 of the shutdown. Republican unity is showing severe signs of strain and the ability to suck the attention away from other matters has waned in the harsh light of day.

Of this month and that clock is surely ticking. But some of muellers investigators who kept quiet about their work for two years are starting to express frustrations. Several of them are unhappy of barrs handling and how their findings were summarized. Sources say they believe their find rgz more damaging President Trump than the attorney general has let on. Theres lots to discuss. Good evening to all of you. Thank you for joining us. Muellers team are saying that barr didnt accurately characterize their case in his fourpage letter. Is his legitimacy on the line . His legacy . That too. As well as his legacy as someone who came in as a law and order republican. He wasnt on the trump bandwagon allegedly. Remember when he testified he said im so old i know the only story left is my story. Presumably a good story about him supporting law and order. I think hes playing this so poorly, barr, from every perspective. Hes lost the media, the confidence in the American Public. Hes lost members
But i am a pragmatist. They often go where the opportunity is and our elected leaders act out of fear of consequence more than out of good conscience and he has to expand his base. Yeah. This was an opportunity. Well, i stick by my thing. This is not politics as usual. This is not about left versus right. Its about right versus wrong. This is about fact versus fiction. This is about reality versus alternate reality or alternate facts which its a great way of thinking but it doesnt play with this particular person. Hes never going to change. He likes being in power. He likes dividing people. He likes the chaos. He thrives on it. He does not want to be a uniter. He is a divider. By nature. Fine. Its not going hes 70 some years old, its not going to change. What we have to do is figure out what do we do with that . And quit wishing you know, wish upon a star, that aint going to happen, hes never, ever, ever going to change. He is who he is.

When i was a kid, had you to be a military veteran to run for anything. I mean anything. And they all were. The only person i can think of running for president when i was a kid in high school was Bobby Kennedy who was the only member of his family who didnt serve who was old enough to serve, didnt serve in world war ii. So its fascinating see that we then created this massive gap that was basically provoked by vietnam era where avoiding military service for the first time became the dominant approach to war. And so we had john kerry, but its been pretty rare to have the have military veterans especially in a big field like this. Yeah. Its fascinating me. That dynamic the crossover of those two dynamics is exactly right. Youve got four candidates of the 19 declared candidates who are 40 years old or younger.
