he didn t care about the consequences for the country, there s no privilege claim here that will be sustained by any court. the theoretical version of it that donald trump comes up with the idea of the committee asking the white house counsel of the secrets of foreign policy. that remains impossible. no white house counsel in history has ever, ever been asked the secrets of foreign policy by a committee. no committee is ever attempted to do it. so his statement relies on this kind of utterly fanciful notion of what is involved here at every level. exactly lawrence. this is not like an oval office conversation that mirrors some sort of working constitution debate on foreign policy or something that takes place in the situation room. this is him literally plotting a coup and trying to whip up things including this fake electoral scheme and things like that, and by the way, supple one is an eyewitness to all of this including the
my hats off to the committee for just presenting this in a way that ordinary people can understand. you can just watch this you don t have to have a lot agree, the idea that a president of the united states could be acting this way in the oval office. perhaps to me the most interesting thing is the hearings so far have not focused on the hundred and 81 minutes in the oval office while the capitol was under attack. they re obviously saving that for the end. they re obviously trying to paint a picture through witnesses and what actually trump was doing if anything during those 181 minutes. so there s a lot more to come. the committees doing a great job, but i think tomorrow is a very critical day for the truth to come out and i really hope that mr. cipollone does the right thing. we will have to be patient and discover what the cipollone truth is that comes out in that testimony tomorrow behind closed doors. neil, thank you for joining us once again always a pleasure. thank you. co

way they can do that is the electoral college. and this is screamingly obvious other countries because no other country has an electoral college. they look at it in wonder. every element of the criminal conspiracy that donald trump was running in 2020, to try to overturn the outcome of the presidential election, was a manipulation of the electoral college. that is it. that is the only way. most republican voters in pennsylvania did not vote for doug mastriano and the republican primary for governor. 56% of republicans voted for other candidates, many of the republicans who voted against doug machado agree with the nine providence republican leaders who had come out today in support of democratic candidate in pennsylvania, because the future of the very existence of the united states of america, as we know, it is
exactly lawrence. to me i read that statement, it s just fear, fear, fear. he is scared. to the extent donald trump is saying there s a chilling effect, i guess he s got me there. i guess it s going to chill future presidents from plotting a coup and telling your white house counsel about it. that s the chilling effect that is created. not doesn t particularly worry me. does worry me sometimes, i do believe an executive privilege. i do believe there is accord to that. it just doesn t encompass people wrapping up a crowd and ordering them to storm the capital and interfere with the counting of electoral votes. so you know there s a zone for true executive decision making. what donald trump was doing was not acting as the president of the united states, he was trying to protect his job.
