president s political benefit. let s break it down to the simple political calculus. it has come to the attention with regard to voter suppression action, the republican party has made the observation as have demaug raefrs that within the next 20 or 40 years the united states will go from being a white majority country to a white plurality country. as it turns out the people who are not predominantly european background are less likely to vote for republicans than for democrats. this makes it hard in order to advance their particular agenda. it is not worth while for them to allow people into the country or to allow people to gain citizenship who may not be members of their party in the future. this is not very hard to figure out and it all boils down to that. the part of it that i find
policy not to discuss the conduct of uncharged third parties, named trump. the department policy also procludes any comment on the facts developed and legal conclusions by the special counsel s office with respect to uncharged individuals the president. the letter goes on to say that mueller is not allowed to say anything about discussion about investigative steps or decisions made during your investigation claiming all of those things are covered by privilege. and then it closes, quote, i trust this information is helpful and then signed by associate deputy attorney general. he was appointed to that job by jeff sessions last summer in a typical for the trump administration misspelled press release, the announcement literally the second paragraph contained both a typo.
captain khan s father s wife, captain khan s mother. she had nothing to say. maybe she wasn t allowed to have anything to say. you tell me. that was how the president attacked them. the khans are pakistani american. the president attacked mrs. khan as maybe not being allowed to speak. she explained she was too grief stricken by the loss of her son to speak and that s why she stood next to her husband as he gave remarks. the president attacked her anyways maybe she is not allowed to speak. take another look at that american tableau that president trump assembled today to host the president of pakistan. notice anything? who knows? maybe the women aren t allowed in there in the united states. who knows? you tell me.
but elements of this letter seem to go beyond that telling mueller he won t be able to answer questions that attorney general william barr has talked quite a lot about and has gone out of his way to sort of characterize mueller according to the justice department won t be able to rebut those things? i think you hit on the most remarkable thing. the attorney general has testified before congress three times about this report. he held a press conference about it. he has talked about it in a number of interviews and talked about his own decision making and mueller s decision making and the president s motivations for why he took some of the actions that he did and have do. to me it feels like a rerun of the initial release where bill barr can say anything he wants about the investigation and why d.o.j. did what they did but no
judiciary committee. even if robert mueller is going to say as little as possible on wednesday and follows later that he received tonight and says basically nothing, robert mueller and his team, well, mueller s investigation included a team full of high level fbi agents. mueller s team was handed ongoing open fbi investigations for them to fold into their work. i mean, if the fbi has things to answer for in the scandal, if the fbi director has questions he should answer when it comes to the investigation and the counter intelligence investigation into whether the president is or was compromised by a foreign power, when it comes to newly unsealed michael cohen search warrants that show fbi agents obtaining approval to get evidence of michael cohen communicating about his campaign finance felonies with trump and with the trump campaign while in the process of committing those felonies. if the fbi director is going to
