taken the position that as a matter of definition, someone who cannot be indicted under the guidelines cannot be a target of the investigation as a definition. the president also told the new york times, preet, that his lawyer rudy giuliani has been wrong and incorrect in describing the conversations about a potential trump tower moscow during that 2016 presidential campaign. here is a simple question. why is the president being represented by someone who the president himself says has been wrong? that s a great question. it has been asked repeatedly. i m sure we will ask it again and again and again. it boggles a lot of people s mind u.s you have somebody representing not just any high profile person but the sitting president. by the client s own reckoning, that lawyer is making misstatements and that lawyer has had to withdraw statements and sometimes makes statements that are not in the interest of
about the filings is that they point out and they go to great lengths to talk about they don t believe in the false absence of recollection, that the faulty memory of michael flynn was played an issue and how they were to confirm he was making misstatements and lies. ands that should speak volumes because we already know mueller has a particular version to those who lie to his investigators. he details in the report that he is saying essentially it impedes the ability of the american people and the president just handed in a series of answers that said to the best of my recollection. he is not persuaded with those with faulty memories when you can corroborate the contrary it will be important going forward of how he deals with this. jeff, do you have any more sense of, you know, do you believe this thing is wrapping up? it sure doesn t look wrapped up to me. think about the very fact that
