because it is really mind-blowing. it really is. they could have met in the roosevelt room. they could have met in a number of other sort of, you know, ornate rooms, but this sends a very clear message that only one person wanted to send. and that is the president of the united states, the man who resides in that office, that he wants to make such an impression and wants to make such a statement that he invited this guy who has done some really bad stuff personally, never mind the regime that he wants. it s the nixon profile. he thinks he can do you work for president obama, president obama couldn t do it. bill clinton, he tried with madam albright. couldn t do it. he thinks this is a moment that he might be able to do what earlier presidents failed to do,
words than what he said to the washington post in saying that this is clearly a message to the people under investigation, don t rat me out because i got your back. the former attorney general eric holder who served under president obama, he said this about the whole pardon capability. listen. if you pardon somebody, well, that means that they are they don t have much to worry about with regard to whatever the pardon covers. but if bob mueller, for instance, wants to take a pardoned person, put that person before a grand jury, that person no longer has the ability to say, i m going to invoke my fifth amendment right. that s been stripped away. you have a pardon. that person then becomes a perfect witness for the special counsel. seth, you re a former federal prosecutor. what do you think? that s true, they wouldn t have a fifth amendment right. you get into a weird scenario where that person who is pardoned is now brought before a grand jury and let s just is a
immigrants. this is part of a much bigger problem of the demonization of immigrants in the united states that this administration has been involved in, encourages and frankly it is frightening. what do you think president trump making a big deal out of the fact that in his view the fake news media purposefully twisted his words? they did have to walk it back. he is correct in that regard. and the president ms-13, they are not nice people. that is a violent gang. i think the president is speaking specifically about that. and it gets caught up in the bigger daca debate and what we will do with folks here that we don t want to get rid of that kids who came here and are stuck here and how do we deal with them? it is a really difficult issue. president obama couldn t get it done with a democratic congress so he tried to act and do something maybe outside of his
president. he could fix this. he blew it up. he can fix it. he is not doing it. this is a mid term election. this is why you have 20 plus republicans is it going to pass the senate? is president trump going to sin sin going to sign it. does steven miller like it? the answer to this question like the last one like november president trump says obama couldn t get it done with democratic congress. great panel. thank you so much. some might call him american political royalty. what might jfk have thought about today s political climate? stay with us. the sun is shining so why binge in here, when you can do it out there. with this clever little app called audible. you can listen to the stories you love while doing the things you love,
saying to his side of the aisle, but i m hoping it happens. speaker ryan doesn t want this to happen. the republicans want it thoo happen, but the base republicans don t want it to happen. they don t have the vote to pass the anti-legalization bill which would reduce legal immigration by 6%. if it does go to the floor. i think there s a chance the senate would pass it, and i think president trump would be forced to actually sign it if a bill came to him, particularly if it also included money for the wall. let s not forget how we got here, okay? we just pressed the rewind button. in 2012, president obama
