the detroit free press, his hometown paper, calling on him to resign. the the new york times writing a story this morning that suggests and hints at something that some people in washington have been talking about already, he is 88 years old, he is by some accounts in difficult health. in that lawsuit, the woman in question notes that she was responsible for making sure she took his medication. she was responsible for calling to wake him up in the morning. she was responsible for knowing his whereabouts. the times reported that he has gone to at least two meetings in his pajamas in recent years. again, all of these questions piling up around the congressman and the other piece of this, chris, that i think is part of the narrative you re starting to see playout here is there s frustration among younger democrats that congressman conyers has been in this position of power for so long and that they haven t had as much as of a chance to rise because that pathway has been blocked to them.
leads to impeachment. this whole thing has to playout, and nothing that trump tweets could get in the way of the execution of justice. we know that adam schiff said we should not get the car before the horse, but to mike s point, the importance that you brought up about out of state. the fact that there can t be a pardon if an ag at a state level is going to bring some charges and we know that s the round up that happened for a lot of the ag s. they were canned because of lack of control by the administration. the u.s. attorneys got canned, and you re right that the ag s would have to recommend to district attorneys to bring criminal charges. so there will be a couple steps in there for the state agency. the other thing i think to keep in mind here is that the cart before the horse point.
worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry making fools of u.s. negotiators, sorry, but only one thing wl work. again today he was asked, sir, what s the one thing? he s not saying. right. if if he s saying that, you know, what secretary of state tillerson has done and the talking isn t working is that off the table and are we talking a military option? is there another option? you can t read the president s mind. right. but i mean we re all left wondering. and there s clearly a disagreement because people like rex tillerson wanted to discuss, other people inside the white house want to keep all options on the table and are pushing back lightly at his notion that, no, there is only one option. i think they a lot of people want to continue discussions and they kind of want to go in that direction. and you re seeing the disagreements kind of playout, this huge disagreement with tillerson and even with mcmaster
speaking from the tarmac in new jersey before getting on air force one. back with me is our panel. let me ask you the reaction to all that that the president put out. not only just the nfl controversy, but all the way up to health care, tax reform. a lot of different topics to dissect there. yeah, definitely. i think it s remarkable that he s able to stay under there and say this isn t about race when he has been systematically calling for black employees who disagree with him to be fired. not only is that un-american and undemocratic it s racist. but i think that he does this thing where he starts something really incendiary just when he wants to distract from major agenda piece that america isn t going to like or from tightening in the russian investigation. we saw this on the campaign and we re seeing that playout at the trump white house now. so while i think the protests are important and i m glad that
first of all, that s number one rule of negotiating. or diplomacy, you never put yourself in a position where you re going to be shown to be ineffective, and he makes these threats, the president of the united states makes the threats, and you have a guy in north korea with nothing to lose by answering back. it elevates his status. it s the best thing that could happen for him. and hillary clinton said something that you ve said all along, and that is that donald trump is one of the easiest guys in america to play. i said in realtime when he tweeted about me the next day. what worried me deeply was how easily this president can be played. and what it means on the world stage. we are seeing that playout you actually did say that. on the world stage. it s like a toddler brawl with nuclear weapons in the middle. it s unblooeelievable.
