husband meet with ag days before she was cleared and they talk about obstruction. also, why is it that hillary clinton s families and dems dealing with russia are not looked at but my non-dealings are. he sends those tweets, congressman, specifically calling hillary clinton, crooked hillary, right after he s calling for unity at the baseball game. what do you make of that? yeah, he can t have it both ways. it s really disappointing that this president does not live by his own words. he seems to think that there s a set of rules that apply to everybody else and then he gets to do whatever he wants. my hope is that no matter what the president does. we, of course, hope that he will grow up some day, but no matter what he does, the people in this building, in the capitol, democrats and republicans, can set an example, we can distinguish ourselves from that sort of behavior being civil to one another, but just being good to one another and calling one another out when we cross that lin
non-dealings are? and another one, crooked thch. destroyed phones with hammer, bleached e-mails, and had husband meet with ag days before she was cleared. and there are more. but this comes after multiple tweets this morning calling it a witch hunt. michael, what do you make first of all, i guess he s back to tweeting. but what do you make of his response? i think one of the most telling parts of this is that it signals again that the staff around the president is not directing the president. and we reported this week in the magazine, that there s sort of a version of the serenity prayer that they have adopted over there. they try to control what they can. you know, they get the schedule, they can get him out of town once a week, get him to an agency once a week, they accept what they can t control, which is him tweeting. and they try to figure out before they confront the president, which is which. and i think that s a telling thing, because it has led to problems for the presid
and dems dealings with russia are not looked at but my non-dealings are. crooked hillary destroyed phones with a hamter, bleached e-mails and had her husband meet with the attorney general days before she was cleared, and they talk about obstruction. there s so many leaps here. did anybody believe sanely that in front of all the cameras, so everybody sees you talking to her, loretta lynch, it makes no sense. part of what s happening here is trump is throwing out shiny objects here and there to sort of distract from the main investigative thrust of what s happening. that tweet is part of it. the tweet you read earlier about how mueller s staff are bad people, conflicted people, is really interesting. i mean we are only a couple weeks into this investigation, and he s already preemptively trying to nuke it as though these are all biased people. wasn t he about to interview or did some people in the white house actually interview bob
investigation that involves obstruction of justice, not of a trump aide, not of a trump ally, not of a trump former staffer, but of donald trump. i don t think he has a gear that isn t the one gear he always puts things in, often expressed via twitter. so, no, i don t think he understands the seriousness of it. yes, i am certain people have tried to emphasize the seriousness of it to him. and one other quick thing on that tweet you showed. there are 80,000 likes, essentially, for that tweet. because there s a group of people now, he has tens of thousands of twitter followers, but there are a group of people that will support anything he says or does. but that group of people does not include robert mueller. another tweet, why is it hillary clinton s family and dems dealings with russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?
going to find the facts. and i think that s his role. reporter: even as trump stews over mueller and the russia investigation at the white house, he struck one unusually sunny note today at the press, often the object of his disdain. and everybody in this room, including the recorders, god bless you. god bless america. reporter: now, a couple hours after that, wolf, the president was back at it again, talking about that investigation. something, again, his white house will not talk about. now, keep in mind, it s been 219 days since election day. clearly, today, he still has hillary clinton on his mind. she was the subject of two afternoon messages he sent out. let s take a look at them. the first one was, why is hillary clinton s family and dems dealing with russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are? after that, he said, that hillary destroyed phones with
