it wouldn t have been pretty. trump has these tools, has these platforms that didn t exist in 1998 or in the form they exist now, and, you know, if he survives this, i think in large part it will be because of that and roger ailes will be right, which is he said i started fox news because nixon would have survived with a republican. i think it s a great point. i think the most important thing he needs is an agenda that people liked. that s what saved bill clinton. during the 1998, the year of the starr scandal, president clinton doubled funding for head start, passed a child care any tich, child support, nursing home standards, class size. the wye accords, the kyoto accord and operation desert fox. president clinton didn t have a

remedies are available to us including, if they subpoena us, challenge the subpoena. the same reason they can t indict him. laura: which mueller agreed. i don t think they agreed to the process question. they can t issue a subpoena to him. remember, clinton opposed the subpoena and then voluntarily complied. heub didn t give up presidential prerogative. laura: your old pal, michael on msnbc said the following. these folks can t get their stories straight, they can t figure out what they want to do. what they should be doing is telling theul truth. mr. giuliani asti recently as a week ago has been lying to the american people how this occurred, because according to today it occurred in 2017.
