deputy sheriff who said to our investigative team and this isn t tom perez speaking, this is the deputy sheriff speaking, joe arpaio constructed a wall of distrust between the sheriff s office and the community. that was the wall that he built. and it was a wall that was a terrible wall, unconstitutional wall. it wasn t safe for policing and it was terrible for the community. final question about the washington post reporting this weekend which i thought was remarkable. that the president asked jeff sessions can we just drop the case. eric holder tweeting a number of times over the six years president obama called me to ask me about dropping the case. zero. what does that say to you? again this president has no idea about the notion of the independence of the department of justice. remember, what he said to comey when he was fbi director. hey, can you go light on my buddy, flynn. then this situation, hey, mr. attorney general, you ought to drop this case. that is an abuse of power.
i look very much forward to it. things are being handled really well. the spirit is incredible of the people. the coordination between different services as you snow going well. traveling throughout certain parts and we may go back on saturday depending on where the storm goes we may also go to louisiana on saturday. storm comes amid an joonslaut of new revelations bit president and his company to build a trump tower in moscow during the presidential campaign. in an e-mail published by the new york times a business associate of the president s drew a direct link between that project and trump s white house bid. he wrote, i will get putin on this program and we will get donald elected. meaning elegislatived president. that epamai e-mail sent by feli, with known mob ties.
it left all of that stuff out. what would be the legal i guess cans of the president intervening to create that false impression? it s not a crime to make a false statement to the public or the media of course. no. i ve learned that the hard way, barbara. what it shows is there is a willful intent by the president to mislead others what s going on in the russia investigation. not just what he did what was on his mind is an important part of robert mueller s task. here s my take away from the reporting. there s two channels here. like what is legally chargeable and what is a violation of the crime and what is weird and aberrant behavior. here s my takeaway. in june you ve got a meeting at the trump tower, we re going to give you dirt. given all of that when the dnc e-mails come out, it seems that
is before them. right. and if we believe everything in this post report, these are pretty high leflt communications. people close to putin talking to people close to donald trump. and so it would, you know, lead to you believe there is a level of satisfaction inside the russian government that they knew who these people were that they were dealing with. i want to ask you on the foreign relations committee and outspoken about the forth policy in the world and i want to ask you to respond to something rex tillerson said. this is remarkable. about what the president speaks for. let s take a listen. i don t believe anyone doubts the american people s values or commitment of the american government or government s agencies to advancing those values and defending those values. and the president s values? and the president speaks for himself, chris. are you separating yourself for that, sir? i ve made my own comments as to our values as well in a speech i gave to the state depar
of new revelations bit president and his company to build a trump tower in moscow during the presidential campaign. in an e-mail published by the new york times a business associate of the president s drew a direct link between that project and trump s white house bid. he wrote, i will get putin on this program and we will get donald elected. meaning elegislatived president. that e-mail sent by felix sater, with known mob ties. he was behind the trump s soho project in new york city. the recipient of the e-mail, michael cohen, president s long time lawyer and executive of the trump organization. in the wake of russia s interference in the trump administration and amid collusion in the trump campaign the president himself insisted he had no russian ties to compromise it. i had no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia.
