as i said we re going to have a psychiatrist actually react to that later in the hour. but what did you feel when you heard that today? well, you know, he gets more and more untethered over time. and, you know, i certainly have the same impression that you re likely to hear from the professional who comes-on our show which is this a president who s done nothing but project onto others his own lack of morality. that s unfortunately not a unique character trait or path ae ology to this president. we ve seen it exhibited in some of the members of congress. you, of course, we ve seen you shrug off these kinds of comments by the president in the past. but it s comments like that about some of the witnesses in this case that actually found their way into your report. and you suggests that includes witness intimidation by the president. yes. and that s part of a long pattern which goes back to the mueller investigation in which
the case as far as i m concerned. we ve all seen you shrug off these comments in the past. but it s comments like that about some of the witnesses in this case that actually filed their way into your report and you suggest that includes witness intimidation by the president. yes. and this is part of a long pattern which goes backing to the mueller investigation in which he was calling those who would cooperate with authorities like michael cohen a rat, in which he would praise people like manafort, guilty of multiple federal crimes, because he wouldn t cooperate with authorities. and in which he would attack anyone who spoke critically of him or even more seriously exposed wrong doing misconduct abuse by him. and of course his greatest venom is reserve for the whistleblower. because the president believes he has a god-given right as president of the united states to abuse the power of his office and not have to suffer people
the chief congressional correspondent at the washtington examiner joins us now. why are you smiling? i was an interesting tactic sort of mocking still the mueller investigation in which he thinks is politically motivated witchhunt. i told republicans vote for transparent the privileges play along with all of this. it s a way of sort of covering for what happened last week with the mueller report both and also just repeating to his base that he thinks nothing to his investigation. we don t know yet. we haven t seen the results yet. arthel: there have been some indictments but were not sure what is in the mueller report appeared the president is encouraging the house to vote for transparency to play along with the game. senator lindsey graham as you knows that he ll go along as long as the justice department assigned a special counsel to investigate misconduct in the doj regarding investigations looking into hillary clinton s
now, i have on the air previously expressed envy and jealousy for peter carr because that seems like a great job if you re the spokesman for the special counsel s office, your job is to never say anything, right? the special counsel s office almost never makes public comments. i mean, we did a little survey of this tonight, at least as quickly as we could. we could only come up with three previous instances in the entirety of the mueller investigation in which peter carr has spoken on the record to a reporter about what s going on in the investigation. the first one was april of last year. mcclatchy had published a story saying that the mueller team had evidence that michael cohen had, in fact, traveled to prague, which would appear to buttress an allegation in the christopher steele dossier that cohen had gone to prague to meet with russians about the election interference campaign. cohen has denied that that happened, but mcclatchy published this piece in april saying that mueller ha
previous instances in the entirety of the mueller investigation in which peter carr has spoken on the record to a reporter about what s going on in the investigation. the first one was april of last year. mcclatchy had published a story saying that the mueller team had evidence that michael cohen had, in fact, travelled to prague, which would appear to buttress an allegation in the christopher steele dossier that cohen had gone to prague to meet with russians about the election interference campaign. cohen has denied that that happened but mcclatchy published this piece in april saying that mueller had evidence that it did happen. after that report, we got a very at that point i think unprecedented statement from the spokesman for the special counsel. not directly disputing the mcclatchy story but giving a sort of general warning to the press that there had been lots of inaccuracies out there and every journalist should be very careful about their sourcing. many stories about our in
