overall. the president says he s leaving that up to his new acting attorney general, the very same attorney general we were just discussing, who is now being challenged in court, who is also the same attorney general who is very pub lackly and very often criticized the mueller probe. listen to this. if whitaker decides in any way to limit or curtail the mueller investigation, are you okay with that? look, it s going to be up to him. i think he s very well aware politically. i think he s astute politically. he s a very smart person. a very respected person. he s going to do what s right. all right. cnn s kaitlan collins is at the white house. the president slamming the likely incoming chair of the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, with an oddly worded tweet, i guess we can say. what s going on? oddly worded is a nice way to put it. this is adam schiff. of course, someone who has been a longtime critic of president trump, and speaking as laura was
it indicates seriousness and as richard said he could have been jerking them around a little bit and they may have tried to use a subpoena to get the information. the shortancer to that is yes. flip him or someone close to him? absloutly. he s one of the people that has tan genital issues unrelated to russia investigations. absolutely. what do you think about that, richard, because someone close to him, who might that be? well, he s up there near the top of the food chain in terms of dealing with the russians. donald trump has pub lackly talked about the use of pardens and when you think about that, the idea of pardoning somebody in this investigation without their booing any charges levied at all now and calling the investigation fake news and a witch hunt.
said thank you for that opportunity. this is absurd. that you re going after me. there s nothing. there s no there there. trying as hard as he could to protect himself and his boss. on one hand he said the president didn t invoke executive privilege but he might in the future and so i m not going to say anything because he might down the road want to invoke executive privilege. it sounded like he was pub lackly if you re listening, you might want to invoke executive privilege. i want to ask you about that because he said he didn t invoke executive privilege, right? and yet he refused to answer many of the questions asked of him. here s how it went down and then we ll discuss it. you re impeding this investigation. senator, i m protecting the president s constitutional right by not giving it away before he
tillerson, came out and said the objective in north korea is not regime change. do you support that stance now that the trump administration has put it out there, to not pursue regime change in north korea? this is an important statement in terms of how north korea reacts. and china has said the same thing. this is a coordinated american-chinese statement saying in fact, china put it out, and they said it is clear we, the united states and america, we re not trying to produce regime change. we re not preparing to decapitate the government. we re simply saying your nuclear provocations are unacceptable. that was interesting for china to say that, that directly, that pub lackly, and i gather it s likely. while i don t know this classified sense, but it s very likely if china is making that in a public way, they re also providing private pressure to that effect. thank you very much, senator. good to talk to you again. you re welcome. outfront next, republican congressman tonig
the san francisco chronicle two days ago printed an article named boitano as one of the gay athletes who would be making a political statement over in russia. this is before he came out and said what he did. two days ago, so it s unclear. maybe the writer intended to out him. maybe the writer and the editor didn t realize he wasn t out and made a mistake and said that he was before he had pub lackly said he was. but it was out there then. boitano actually lived in san francisco. he grew up in the area. he started getting all kinds of questions and people coming to him. he decided to release this statement. he feels very strongly, this is just one of the things i m proud of and he wants to be known for the entirety of the person he is. this was news today. also news potentially, super bowl sunday could be super bowl monday, could be super bowl tuesday. how long will your beer last in the fridge? i guess you re hung over at work no matter what, some people.
