A recap of the days news. Sessions you should stop this rigged witch hunt right now. Its a dirty disgrace, would that be a problem . You bet it would be. If he had sent Jeff Sessions a memo to that effect or said it in a meeting, would that be important evidence . In an inquiry into Obstruction Of Justice . It certainly would. I know that, im not an attorney, im sure you know that as well. Because he types it out on twitter for the whole world to see, including Jeff Sessions, are we supposed to ignore it as just the president blowing off steam . Why . And its far from the first time that we have been told so treat the president s public statements as something else, something other than what they say. Remember this from july of 2016 . Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. This is why this is important. This is how the new york times
cnn has learned the president s tweet today was just hours after his legal team updated him on the poss
A recap of the days news. Mines youre able to prepare quite fully, and theyre not able to have the off the Cuff Statements or have a genuine authentic action. Preparation doesnt lead to you being able to have an assessment of truth telling. I want to ask you one more question. Theyre reporting that the president s lawyers want to reject it, but the president is pushing them to keep negotiating. At what point does the president do it against their counsel snil. I think given this president ial administration, any time, remember, the beauty of being able to have the Negotiation Tactic here is that he can have his lawyers in the room. As long as hes negotiating, he has the ability to say my lawyers can come with me, if it gets to the point where he has
is himself speaking his mind. Does that explain why the president was so freaked out on twitter this morning and this week. Hes got a lot of reasons to be freaked out. If his impetus was the fact that mueller wants to ask him about Obstruct
misdeeds enumerated in the mueller report didn t deserve impeachment. again, it is a political question. he obviously deserved to be impeached for those things. and those things are crimes. i think that that s important because some of the things that he s being impeached for might be violations of the constitution, but not indictable crimes. the things he s accused of doing in the mueller report he could be indicted for. it is one of the examples he s able to use the fact that he s in this office that he utterly shouldn t be in to protect himself from his own record of law breaking. yeah. that brings us back to the echoes where precedent doesn t resolve eriverything. nixon s problem was not that a few people did dirty tricks somewhere along the line. the reason that he reached a level of impeachment where the senate republicans were telling him he was out and he resigned because the cover-up, which is legally called the obstruction.
as this investigation continues. one of the things that was hard to know in real-time and we have had you on the show more than once and always tried to get your perspective because you learn more when you check with everyone. absolutely. one of the things that is hard to figure out in real-time is is carter page a secret russian spy or a person that got swept up in this? yeah. now i want to say this in fairness to you, both the mueller report and now this lengthy document that deals with you so many times finds you being swept up. you have been cleared. and, yet, do you think that donald trump makes it harder on people like you. you were at one point advising the campaign. does he make it harder when after you get cleared he goes out and asks, as he put it, ukraine or china to investigate his opponents? because it kind of then drudges back up the idea that, while you are in the clear, donald trump seems to really want foreign
he wanted. that didn t play well for a variety of reasons. then there was an attempt to bring in resistant fact witnesses. that didn t go as well either. and, so, i wonder, did they really get gun shy when you could, and we have, gone through the mueller report, sometimes with quotes and what they call sound bytes and sometimes with other voluminous material. it seems to me mueller is above everything because mueller is your appointed prosecutor who found at least five. well, again, i think it depends what metric you are judging by, right? whenever i argue youed for impeachment after the mueller report, people would say the public isn t with us. the public isn t there yet. the public isn t convinced. it is always a political argument. i don t know any democrat that didn t actually believe that the
