the president look, whatever is going on out there, you, sir, are not a target of this investigation. do you believe that and is it your sense that that is that? yeah. i mean, i guess i accept it on faith from the reporting that he did tell him that now, what that means is absolutely up for discussion. as y all were just talking about, you know, we did hear this earlier on. whether that means that the president doesn t become a target later on, something doesn t develop is absolutely part of this. there has been this move here in congress to defend the mural probe and defend rod rosenstein and the mural himself against any efforts to fire. this news may take some of the steam out of those sales. you know, you had mitch mcconnell earlier this week barely clearly saying he wasn t going to bring this bill to the floor. the senate judiciary committee next week is going to probably pass that bill that would protect mueller from firing through the committee. but this does take some of the
one it gives rosenstein and mueller breathing room. makes it a lot less likely that the president would terminate either of them at least in the near future. it also validates to some extent what the president has been saying when he was saying there was no collusion. we haven t done anything. if mueller has been investigating this for some time now and the president is not a target of the investigation, that tells you something. now, the thing to keep in mind, of course, is that someone s status as a nontarget can always change. as the investigation continues, mueller may gather more evidence. so just because you are not a target now, doesn t mean you will never be. but i think today is definitely a good day for the president based on these reports. neil: it sounds like, rosenstein had with the president was post of the personal attorney s offices getting raided by fbi officials. but just quoting from this bloomberg report, rosenstein apparently brought up the mural probe himself wi
they had been saying, according to the president, i m going to get rid of them. the last three months, four months, five months, referring to rosenstein and/or mueller. he went on to say and they re still here. we want to get the investigation over with, done with, put it behind us. and we have to get back to business. now, tom, you mentioned in the past that we had just seen this raid of his personal lawyer s offices. things can and will change in that. but it seemed that even up to and that point the president was not a target here. now, what could change from that raid? stumble upon something? what? yeah. you know, you just never know, neil. look, the raid was pretty sweeping in nature. i mean, they captured a huge volume of cohen s information and we don t know what s in there. the government, i don t think, really knows exactly what it has in its hands yet. not to say that there will be anything. about there is just so much unknown here, neil. there is so many documents and elec
dissent has written about james comey and andy mccabe is incredibly complicated figures and we should end up on their side as people who have dedicated themselves to the institutions that make america great, but that they have made mistakes. i would encourage people to read pieces like this that s nuanced in this that doesn t mean misleading or maybe leaking of information which james comey still maintains was unlady, though there are people who say actually some of it was classified that that means they are completely right or that trump is completely right on this. i agree with erin, trump is going to keep going. i think the point in coming out and saying about the michael cohen raid doesn t mean that trump is a target satisfies those that are saying oh it s new york that s going to take trump down. neil: disputes on that story whether michael cohen raid whether that means he is not a target or this extends to the bob mueller thing as other news organizations say he wasn t a target
