obstruction. here s the president saying this is in endangers me. this prosecution investigation endangers me. i want someone in charge of it who will be loyal. michael was talking about. he wanted his appointed u.s. attorney who recused himself from the investigations. he wanted him back in charge. and supposedly according to the reporting whitaker reminded him that couldn t happen because of the recusal. trump doesn t pay attention to such ethics rules. but isn t the obstruction happening in plain sight? you re tweeting about someone. look into his father-in-law. whatever. hello? correct. this is what the president has done his whole life. he dares you to recognize what he s actually doing. when oprah said people tell you who they are.
door michael cohen said they were very professional. they were professional, but they took out probably millions of data points. if you think about all the data that was processed by that office, and they have very sophisticated means for analyzing it, they have more than michael cohen s word for it. let s talk about i m going to watch this one. let s talk about it and not just the highlights on line. let s talk about the dse and why that investigation there. the new york times said the president wanted to put an ally in charge of the investigation. what are the ramifications there? it s another potential obstruction, really, right? so here s the president saying this endangers me, this prosecution investigation endangers me. i want someone in charge of it who will be loyal to me again, as michael was talking about. so he wanted his appointed u.s. attorney geoff berman who had recused himself from that series of investigations that was being
wrapping up is wishful thing. this is incredibly complex prosecution investigation. he s got along way to go. he has paul manafort still in the middle of investigation. rick gates. postponed. and still said they are working on multiple investigations. michael cohen still on the brink of cooperating. and he was in d.c. and we saw him at prosecutor s office mueller s office. sit wg all these prosecutor s and reams of information, they have to be turned into charges or appropriate material. so a whole second stage or third stage ahead here, i think. but what about the idea that mueller is writing a final report, according to cnn reporting. that was from a couple of weeks ago. could mueller be doing this in kind of two parts, right, like he has the investigation into collusion, then there is still the questions about obstruction, which the president wasn t even asked about, apparently, in the answers that he had to respond
constitutional role of providing advice and consent. and there are legal arguments about whether that s required or not. but what i think is so interesting here is that it just so happens that the first time in our country s history that we have an acting attorney general who is not in a senate confirmed seat is the same time that that person is going to oversee prosecution investigation being carried out by the special counsel that involves not only the white house, but the president himself. in terms of this legal challenge that is unfolding interestingly with this maryland case, because maryland was suing anyway over an unrelated matter. one of their named defendants was attorney general jeff sessions. that apparently gives maryland, at least in their view standing to sue against this appointment. what do you this of those kinds of court challenges? i imagine that the maryland case isn t the only one that we ll see. it will be interesting to see how they play out. the maryland m
person? so and that s part of what the legal fight about is whether it has to be a senate confirmed person or not. but regardless of that legal fight, the tradition has been that it has always been someone who has previously been confirmed by the senate, that the president has nominated and the senate has fulfilled their constitutional role of providing advice and consent. and there are legal arguments about whether that s required or not. but what i think is so interesting here is that it just so happens that the first time in our country s history that we have an acting attorney general who is not in a senate confirmed seat is the same time that that person is going to oversee prosecution investigation being carried out by the special counsel that involves not only the white house, but the president himself. in terms of this legal challenge that is unfolding interestingly with this maryland case, because maryland was suing anyway over an unrelated matter. one of their named def
