government. i know some of the folks that were actually considered, even brought in to the white house for interview. and i can tell you in at least one case it was basically, who is nearby? who can drive over and have a chat with us? it wasn t it was, who is in driving distance? and it worried us all at the time. but i m looking at this from two ways now. i think rosenstein is in deep trouble. i think that with this president. he s denying it but he s denying the accurate portrayal of what he said. so i m looking at the fact the deputy attorney general of the united states at one point in his tenure, if not now, had the actual mind-set to even possibly consider recording the president of the united states in the oval office. if that s even true, if that s true at all, we re in even deeper than we thought. why would he do that? either he thought evidence of a crime was going to play out or evidence of mental incapacity was going to play out.
deeper than we thought. why would he do that? either he thought evidence of a crime was going to play out or evidence of mental incapacity was going to play out. and then here i m looking at it also from the sense of what s mueller doing right now? if i m on mueller s team and watching this show right now and watching this news break, i have to tell you, their time is shrinking. they have an even shorter shelf life today because i believe this is going to eventually result in rosenstein s removal, sessions removal, perhaps even faster than we realize and that means mueller s tenure is very limited. mike schmidt, let me read you rosenstein s denial and let you respond. the new york times story is inaccurate and factually incorrect. i will not comment furth or a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. but let me be clear about this. based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basi
whispered in invoking the 25th amendment. it provides a very complicated, constitutional path for power to be stripped from the president without impeachment. but usually, it s about mental incapacity and usually requires the president to trigger the process. that s not going to happen. so this anonymous senior trump official said no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. what is that all about? let s bring in don for this. it will be a major part of cnn tonight coming on. anybody can read the 25th amendment. that really sounds far-fetched. what s your read on that? it sounds more so than impeachment. it s a more complicated process. you know what it is, the vice president. you said for mental incapacity. it is for whatever reason. but usually mental incapacity. i don t think this guy or woman has the capability of being the president or carrying out their
and celebrate the president s year of success. bill: this he has that the press doesn t have. he does have a sense of humor. but if you put on morning joe or cnn it s morose. what is the charge today. collusion, obstruction of justice, mental incapacity. heart disease, is he a racist. there is something wrong with a president who has to say i m not racist. one of the reasons he has to say it is people keep yelling at him, you are a racist. howie: the media would say we made mistakes and maybe the president ties aggressive. but we are holding him accountable. we are exposing things going on in this government. we are checking him when he
the oath, never admit anything good for president trump? i give president trump credit for opening this meeting, presumably to show that he didn t suffer from any kind of mental incapacity. what he didn t show, he didn t know what he was talking about. i say that not let me read one sentence. this is him. quote, i think a clean daca bill to me is a daca bill but take care of 800,000 people. but to me a clean bill is a bill of daca, we take care of them and we also take care of security. i guarantee that s why kevin mccarthy had to stand up and say i object. they couldn t stand still. i think you re being unfair here. president trump has a sort of stream of consciousness, thinking and talking outloud and he s trying to reach across the aisle. you have a meeting that the whole world gets to watch, 55 minutes, where people on both sides of the the aisle pushing back against the president and he s allowing this. this is something americans are not accustomed to.
