often criticized president george h.w. bush and his sons on the campaign trail. he s offering public praise now. here to discuss cnn presidential historian douglas brinkley and michael d antonio, the author of the truth about trump. gents, good evening. thank you so much. michael, this entire week people are going to be praising the former president, george h.w. bush. in the presence of this president. so far trump has been gracious. but they re praising the former president for all the traits that trump that just don t belong to him. he does not have those traits. restraint. right? humility. reticence. prudence. how long can he be gracious with this? oh, i think he s going to try and hold it together throughout
juliette, in the new court filing from cohen s attorneys they say in addition to his interviews with the special counsel that cohen is cooperating with prosecutors from the u.s. attorney s office concerning an ongoing investigation. the new york state attorney general s office civil lawsuit against the trump foundation and state tax authorities. so how worried should the president be? because this is one he can t pardon anybody for, right? that s right. and this is part of the theory that renato and others have been talking about, that mueller has sort of dispersed this case to enough different courts in terms of different legal proceedings so that there s not one single point of failure. in other words, if trump fires mueller there s still going to be a whole bunch of other stuff going on. what you see this week is the panic attack trump was having quite publicly on twitter, is what i call what i ve been calling the 4 m problem.
george w. bush, you know, who is an emotional guy. and he can be moved to tears as well. but what i saw there was hand to heart, father to son, president to president. yeah. and both of them, i mean just really, can you imagine, though you being the president and then your son becoming the president of the united states, and then having to go through all of this. i mean it s just unbelievable. the burden of the heart i can imagine. and, you know, joyful, too, really. and that s what i ve heard so far from many people. we re sad but there s more joy for a life well lived, one of service, one of compassion, and one where family was really the top priority. you know, he was credited as president with accomplishing so much on the world stage, and his funeral is going to be attended by a lot of foreign dignitaries.
