least have an intelligence briefing of what s going on. sure. that s the practical negative impact of doing that. but at the constitutional level about the dignity and functioning of our government, it would be destructive. it is so unamerican, it is hard to imagine that happening in any but the most autocratic governments in the world. the president and his team say bring it onto john brennan, former cia director who is threatening to sue the president, sue the administration for revoking his security clearances, do you think first of all this is the right approach on the part of john brennan to potentially seek legal action against the president for revoking his security clearance? yes. i have to reserve that question for john, but i would be lying to you if i didn t tell you jim clapper, mike hayden and john brennan occasionally share thoughts. for all of us, particularly skbr john, he is the one now effected, it is not so much the
i don t know that i m confident. i think if the president sees a threat, i think there s a distinct possibility that he might try to fire mueller. i think we need to keep the public pressure up on him to make sure that he doesn t. i think comments like senator graham made a couple months back now, basically saying to do that would be an impeachable offense. let him know that obstructing with this investigation to that level would be met with bipartisan condemnation, it is crucially important to stop the president from ending the investigation. how important is the testimony of the white house counsel, don mcgahn, to the mueller investigation team, he spent 30 hours answering their questions. obviously we don t know because we don t know what he said. 30 hours is a long time, but we re not sure exactly what was said. i think the michael cohen information, what michael cohen said to robert mueller, i think we have a better idea what that might be as we found out about
it can be backfilled in with reality and facts. what do you think? i don t know. you play that clip of mayor guiliani, he is a former prosecutor. he acts like he has never been to a trial, right? one side tells one thing, the prosecutor tells the other thing, and the jury or grand jury decides what is true and what is not. to mark s point, you have a situation here where you have people who support the president, wanting to believe his version because they believe in him. we are coming to a showdown. rudy guiliani, u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york before he became mayor of new york, is he helping or hurting, susan, the president of the united states? he doesn t seem to be operating as the president s attorney. he is operating something like the president s pr machine, and he appears to be disconnected from the legal team. that said, every time rudy guiliani opens his mouth, it appears to generate lots and lots of negative headlines and damaging questions for
recent words from the president? well, i think it is further evidence that the president does not understand well, i think he understands what s going on, he is trying to obfuscate the investigation, stop it any way he can. he has been saying from the start that the investigation should never have happened and he wants to get rid of it. if he wants to run it, he wants to bury it. that s the problem. russia interfered in our election. there s considerable evidence that people at the highest levels of the trump campaign were working with those very same russian operatives while they were speefrg wiinterfering. it needs to be investigated, get to the bottom of it. the president needs to stop trying to objestruct the investigation. this comes after the president called robert mueller and his team a disgrace and discredited. are you confident he will left robert mueller complete the investigation? we have been hanging on the edge of our seats on that one for a long, long time.
that could be a fairly widespread practice, which is a very, very dangerous security violation. very scary when you re saying you can see why it would happen even as you are saying how dangerous it is. she also, general, talked about sharing more recordings with the special counsel bob mueller himself. here s what she said about that. if his office calls again would you be a witness? i ll share anything that they want. i will certainly cooperate. so there are a couple things that stood out to me there first. she said if his office calls again. does that surprise you? that s news to us if true, that special counsel would have reached out to omarosa. do you think she s relevant? oh, yeah, i think she s relevant and certainly, no, it doesn t surprise me that given what i ve observed and how thorough and methodical the special counsel and his team are that they would reach out to her. no, that doesn t surprise me at all. i also want to ask you, i just had a chance to speak
