both of them really, both sides are clearly seeing for whatever reason a public relations necessity to keep ratcheting it up and in public. i think it seems to be more of a pr strategy here. it is. than a legal strategy. it s hard to imagine when it comes to michael cohen s legal defense that it is a good thing to put this tape out there. yeah. this is about the pr war. i think it s a pr strategy. look, michael cohen feels that the president has kind of left him in the dust. and that he s rejected him and that has left him out there, hanging out there. that cohen has not gotten a lot of love from the president or from the family after all he s done for them. and i think he feels that he wants his name back. and this is one way to do it, as dana points out. it s a pr strategy. the question is whether it s a legal strategy and we don t know
bob mueller operates. because he s a professional. and he s an adult. we re not dealing with a professional or an adult in trump or guiliani. and so as gloria said, trump is playing the court of public opinion. so we ve already seen 45% of americans now are saying, well, maybe bob mueller is taking too long or maybe he doesn t have anything. because trump can just throw something out there and then for the 24 or 48-hour news cycle we ll phenomenfollow that. so he loves saying, some people say or maybe that s the case. whether it s completely, you all call it unfactual. remember human beings would call it a lie. and we sort of follow these lies consistently. so it s this constant game of deflection. the thing is, robert mueller is being incredibly methodical as to how he s gathering this information. i think a lot of americans do worry, though, when he presents the case to congress, to the president, to the american public, this particular president will say, okay, well, yeah. so what
others who have bashed the justice department for allowing the investigation. so republicans have had the upper hand in the pr war here. they have been going hard at this thing for monthsnd months and months. it s actually a tribute that lers numbers are that high with republicans. even though it s going in that direction you think it s amazing that he s not under water essentially? yeah. look, he is not able to defend himself. and so it s it s kind of a one-side pr bted approximately the so, yeah, i think that. the washington post reports that rod rosenstein is going to brief the president on that inspecr general s report on the clintd ton e-mail investigation. what we think it s going to be is very critical of mccabe, comey, loretta lynch. what are you looking for? i think the key thing that s going to come out of this is what does it do to the credibility of especially james comey and mccabe who were sort of at the very beginning of this mueller investigation. think it s
excuse me. as a parent, could i ask you to respect my children s space? but then 20 years ago people would be utterly appalled if they knew exactly what went on. prince william reflects on those times in a new documentary on i-tv. i sadly remember most of the time that she ever cried about anything was to do with press treatment. by letting the press into her private life, diana has opened pandora s box. it is spring 1994. prince charles decides to go public with an authorized biography and interview. this is what happens when you get into a pr war. it is a race to the bottom. making television history and dropping a bombshell. did you try to be faithful
the people around him. but he has always mixed in a leap to a conclusion and just nothing to support the conclusion. something that the president if i were him to jump on it, too. absolutely. and we need to know more about it. an then a third tweet calling the mueller probe disgusting, illegal and unwarranted witch hunt all part of the giuliani case making that the whole thing to be thrown out, trying to get it pressure on mueller before the president has forced in any way to sit down for an interview. yeah. you have seen the strategy shift. the giuliani strategy is absolutely was giuliani pushing to get out the fact that the president reimbursed michael cohen. did not thrill the president the way it was done and he did want that out and the president agreed. they are working on a strategy together. you will hear people close to the white house, close to the legal team say, you know, there are people who are doing the lawyering and then there are rudy and trump and that team
