So, you know, as claire was saying, there are so many more substantive allegations now including this misuse and abuse of a highly classified Intelligence Community Computer Network system. And for people to say that this didnt fall under the dnis purview is wrong. The dni is responsible for maintaining the integrity of those systems. And if it is being used to cover up political corruption, that requires an investigation. And whether or not the senior official was asked to hide that material inside that Computer System. So i do think that donald trump and his associates are in a heck of a lot more political trouble right now than they were 48 hours ago because of the substantive flow of these allegations coming through,
again all reinforcing the theme that this is a corrupt white house that will stoop to doing anything in order to prevail in elections as well as to cover their krucht trackcorrupt track. Weigh in on the idea that President Trump took all of the conduct detailed in the
donald trump s personal attorney? rudy giuliani has never represented the interests of the united states. he has always represented his clients interests. and there is no question about that in terms of my view. i think what congress needs to do is to go to fact witnesses. that would of course include giuliani, but it would also include all the people who overheard this conversation, who know about the storage of the data and why it is in this strange code named protected area instead of just in the normal place that it should be. that is what we need to do in the same way that the mueller investigation shouldn t have started with mueller. this shouldn t start with the dni. you need the fact witnesses, the sub be stastantive witnesses wh tell what happened. that is where you get the credibility and where you get a persuasive case that is com spelling to people. that is where i d like to be. but i would say that the
experience with congressional committees, i was multitasking while the members of the committee were asking questions because i knew you could use a very small amount of your brain power to take in that section of it. but i was eagerly waiting for the special counsel to ask questions. and then i was glued to barry burke for 30 minutes. what was your reaction? exactly the same as yours, lawrence. i think we all were pretty glued because barry burke, an experienced lawyer, gave a textbook cross-examination, forcing corey lewandowski to acknowledge that he had lied and perhaps more importantly that the lie was an effort to cover up this incident of obstruction that s detailed in the mueller report where trump asked him to deliver the message to sessions that the mueller investigation shouldn t be permitted to look into either russian interference in the 2016 election or the trump campaign.

the family, shouldn t follow the money, fill in the blank. but why should he nominate anyone else? he s perfectly comfortable with the person he has and it s been the first time for him since jeff sessions recused himself that he feels he has the person who will protect him. obviously i m saying that as a subjective. but the objective evidence makes it very difficult to lead to any other conclusion. now, one thing is important to note, donald trump does have 210 days under the vacancy act. he does technically have there s a time limit. there is a time limit. but, you know, this is why would he make a change? it s not in his interest. there s also the fact that he said he would consult the ethics department at the doj about whether he should recuse, given everything he said. right. and today the new spokesperson, no comment. he s the acting attorney general of the united states, we should hear something about this, right? step back a little bit. sessions recused himsel
