to do this or get matt gates or mark meadows from the house to continue on this path. could you make that an obstruction case? yes. and again, this is not standing alone, right? it s going to be a piece of evidence together with many other tweets, many other statements and the actual acts that he did. remember what just is starting to come out now, that when he fired comey, it sounds like his close associates have told mueller that he knew flynn was under investigation, something he has denied. that could be a very strong part of an obstruction case. so you don t have to look at each act individually. a prosecutor would look at them altogether. well, jeff sessions spoke today. here s it seems to us he was sort of responding to the president s tweet. take a listen, susan. the day i was sworn in as attorney general, the president, president trump, sent me a clear order. he can send out orders pretty
does that goal really amount to because mueller s findings will be mueller s findings. so you can jump up and down, set your hair on fire and scream how tainted it is. facts are a terrible, difficult thing to get around sometimes. and that s what this president is trying to buffer himself against, the facts. the fact that he had so many of his comrades in arm already linked into this spider web that s being weaved by mueller, and this is the same crew trying to define collusion, all these things, lost their minds when bill clinton tried to redefine the word is. so it s not believable. it s clearly political theater to say, hey, mr. president, we re with you, but mueller at the end of the day holds every card in this thing. mimi, i want you to assess if you think al capone or paul manafort is getting mistreated worse by the federal government. this is the president s tweet today.
of these rallies after being at hundreds and hundreds of them and even i was pretty stunned last night as i was standing in the press pen watching these folks go after jim acosta and try to screw up the cnn live shot. the thing that s stunning to me is they were doing that even before the president got on stage so it s not like they were being egged on. it was more a matter of they felt this was the thing they wanted to do. i also think that in the course of talking to several voters who were there last night, i asked them point blank when you hear the president talk about fake news or the media being the enemy of the people, they all told me, yes, that s true. one man summed it up so perfectly and he said it s because they re saying things that i don t believe. it s not even a matter of fact anymore. anything that goes against what they believe in president trump or what they believe themselves is suddenly fake to them. was it rowdy for rowdy sake or shall we say did we have the too
kind of across the country. it does depend where you are, but people here obviously were very in the pocket of the president and they wanted to show that they supported him. i think they see this war on the media as one way that they can show trump that they re there to have his back against people who they feel are constantly maligning him every day on the air waves. well, let me play for you sarah sanders, play this for the panel here. here s how she responded to a question about it where when you listen to her answer, i want you to ask yourself this. is she condoning verbal abuse of the press? take a listen. this is a two-way street. we certainly support a free press. we certainly condemn violence against anybody. but we also ask that people act responsibly and report accurately and fairly. no one was being violent last night in terms of hitting anybody and no broadcaster was broadcasting state secrets. they were trying to do stand-ups at a public rally and you had
very interesting because of course he was taken down by tax fraud acti fraud, even though nathat was n the only crime that he committed. that was what they got him on and that may be the case here. i don t know if the president wants to go down the tax return trail. i ve known and covered manafort longer than i actually want to admit, but probably more than 30 years. and i looked at him very closely in the courtroom yesterday. he s 69. he s trying to put on a very strong and brave face. he very much participated in the jury selection process. he s a detail guy, which is significant, because his defense is going to argue that he didn t know anything that was going none his own business. i watched him doing that very carefully. and i think if donald trump, even though it s not on television, donald trump s got to be worried that paul
