Elections is something that actually the fcc should be looking into. Theyre preparing for impeachment and theyre trying to win hearts and minds. Ken, they did so, i imagine not being a lawyer but a layperson, at some professional peril. Listen to what mimi rocah said. I suppose it could attract some attention, American Bar Association type stuff. Does the base need that much bolstering that these guys have to dog and pony it across xm radio . Brian, its very much a part of the pr strategy that the president himself has led and set the tone for, and it just shows frankly how far Rudy Giuliani has come from when he first started on the legal team and famously was sort of chastised by donald trump for not having his facts straight on the Stormy Daniels payment, the 130,000 hush payment to Stormy Daniels. Now y
Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Federal prosecutors in new york have accused the president of criminal violation of the federal Campaign Laws. They say trump directed thats the word Michael Cohen to cover up a Campaign Contribution in the form of payments with two women with whom he had sexual relations.

They have reason not to trust you. They think if they issue you a subpoena, if they give you a demand to hand this stuff over they think, they have good reason to believe, that you might, instead of handing them over, you might destroy those things. Or you might hide them or you might otherwise mess up the evidence that prosecutors are after. If thats the case, if prosecutors have reason to believe that you cannot be trusted to respond to a subpoena, they can kick it up a notch. They can go to a judge and ask a judge to approve a search warrant instead. With a search warrant, prosecutors are no longer asking you for anything. Theyre going into your home, your office, where

Because people are angry. People are angry. Whats happening is a disgrace, and at some point i want it to stay out, but at some point if it doesnt straighten out properly i will do their job. I will get in there. Disgraceful. The president also hit on the wall, trade, immigration and ms13 in his more than hour long speech. And of course he also took plenty of time to trash democrats and the media. Todays Democratic Party is held hostage by left wing haters, angry mobs, deep state radicals, establishment cronies and their fake news allies. Our biggest obstacle and their greatest ally actually is the media, you can believe it. Weve got stories so big and the media doesnt pick them up. We have stories if that was about a republican or conservative it would be front page of every newspaper, and we have them and the
