doesn t have to demonize his enemies. every single person in a position of leadership can conduct themselves with restraint, and they know every member of leadership will tell you they can t stand what s going on and how things have devolved. change it. the president can declare in advance that the outcome of the ball game is a tie.

anytime he wants for whatever reason he wants. might not be prudent but he has the constitutional right to do so. obstruction questions are about asking comey to let go of the flynn investigation. but the question, the fact that he wasn t under investigation, he was right. not only did jim comey tell him all those times but he told the senate. grassley and feinstein said yes, we have never been told anything to contradict what the president said in the firing letter. the question of obstruction is going to be something that bob mueller has to determine. and even if he decides there is, there is a long-standing doj legal opinion that says special counsel should not bring any criminal indictment of the sitting president. that is the job of congress. a couple points. john: this is a point we talked about before we came on. karl rove had an interesting
white house. a bit of trolling by vladimir putin. i mentioned the president was on twitter complaining about the probe. let me share one of his latest tweets comparing his obstruction of justice probe, if you want to call it that. he said this about: crooked h destroyed phones with hammer, bleached emails, and had husband meet with ag days before she was cleared and they talk about obstruction? by the way, the team for robert mueller says they don t have any comment about the leak that led to the washington post story. john: s i m sure they don t. other news, the vice president has hired an outside attorney in connection with the russia investigation. yes, mike pence hiring richard cohen to be his outside counsel. the process took several weeks.

taxpayer money spent on apprenticeships. amid the smiles and handshakes, the president ignored questions about a bombshell in the russia investigation. the washington post citing unnamed sources reports that the president is the subject of an obstruction of justice investigation led by special counsel robert mueller. if true, it s a stunning setback for a president who previously hailed the fact that on three separate occasions former fbi director james comey told him he was not the subject of a probe. just last week, mr. comey told congress he believed he was fired in an effort to undermine the investigation. the president lashed out on twitter. they made up a phony collusion with the russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. nice. he added. you are witnessing the single greatest witch hunt in american political history - led by some very bad and conflicted people!
