especially at the end, i saw a political stunt written by clinton hacks. jesse: no russian collusion according to michael cohen and, juan, roger stone didn t have any advance notification about the wikileaks dump. dana: there is one person we haven t talked about. she was not in the hearing. that is speaker pelosi. she has tried to tap the brakes and tell her caucus we are not on an impeachment path. she is wanted to tried carefully on that. in elijah cummings wrap-up statement, he took great offense to republicans who said this is the first hearing that they are not doing anything else. it s not true. talked about the high price of drugs and voting rights. those are substantive issues. for pelosi, they know it s going to be incumbent upon them to show they can govern and not just try to impeach the president. how did they win back the house of representatives? it wasn t because of the far left. it s because they won in
crosshair. it s remarkable he s testifying under oath with the judge questioning him about this and this image and why he found it and why he posted it. we still have reporters in the courtroom who are feeding some new information in. she is just continuing to press him on this. stone is saying, you know, he doesn t want this gag order to change. you know, it s how he makes his livelihood. so he s really it s really a mea culpa. he s really asking the judge for some leniency here and for a second chance. and the question is still ongoing, brooke. okay. i ll let you look at your notes. i m going to talk to gloria. kara, thank you. but this notion that he is refusing to celtic symbol. well, whatever. really? look, roger stone didn t want a gag order in the first place because he s trying to pay for his legal defense and he believes that the way to do that is to be able to continue to speak out. so because of his lack of
recordings. roger stone was crucial to him for many years. so this may well get to the root of the problem. and they also asked him about roger stone, by the way, to which the point the president said dillen, he said, well, roger stone didn t have that major of a role. he s like stone, rolling stone, i don t know a stone. these two men, he didn t say no stone. he didn t have that big of a role in his campaign. how big of a role did he have in his campaign? roger was his main guy in the beginning. and it was as you ve seen by trump s world a very small world of people he trust and they cycle in and out. roger cycled out actually very quickly after the very first republican primary debate. and roger and him had a falling out where roger claimed he quit and trump said he fired him. so in that regard, they did split in direct contact working together in that same way. but then shortly after roger was integral in installing paul manafort the main person with the russia connections they
he resigned because i was very nice to him. but i gave him big budgets and he didn t do well enough in afghanistan. i was not happy with the job he was doing in afghanistan. so, i was not happy with him, but i wish him well. didn t mattis resign, daniel? mattis resigned, yes. he resigned. if you recall trump s initial tweet about mattis s resignation, general mattis is retiring. we thank him for the service. this is the president attempting to rewrite history to make himself look, you know, nonspurned. he doesn t like it when people know that he has been rejected by someone, especially when that person, like mattis, then comes out and publicly criticizes him. so trump is simply attempting to assert that there was some secret firing precipitated what we all thought was resignation. that didn t happen. it was a resignation. eleanor, in the meantime, he did brush on the mueller investigation a little bit, talking about recently indicted former colleague roger stone and saying roger
caucuses and the to 20 democr20 democratic field is wide open. look at that. more candidates officially throwing their hats in the ring, kind of resembles an old school benton ad. doesn t it? those who haven t declared yet, concerns the party may be leaning too far left. according to axios, michael bloomberg and terry mcauliffe having serious second thoughts. joe biden, wants to run, advised to delay plans to see how this lurch to the left plays out. back with us, do you have a lot of credence to the report joe biden might actually not run? mike bloomberg thinks the party is too far left? i don t put it past any man who wakes up in the morning and says, i should be president. i think joe biden is thinking about it. schultz jumping in made bloomberg annoyed. he was supposed to be the billion nar waire who jumped in.
