she will be begging for a wall. she will say, mr. president, please, please give us a wall. president trump proclaimed he s not a target of the special counsel s investigation in the 2016 l election. tell iing the new york times received reassurances from rod rosenstein. rod told me i m not a target of the investigation, but later suggested he had not talked with him directly. lawyers say he s not a target of the vgs. asked if that also covered the separate investigation of his former attorney michael cohen by federal r prosecutors here in new york he nesaid, i don t kno about that. neither rosenstein or mueller has said whether trumpth is a target and the president could not recall when rosenstein would have assured him. he sent three tweets about the investigation last night saying this witch hunt must end. two of the tweets related to
because there is nothing. they can play that game, but we can play it better because we have a thing called the united states senate. if that happens, we re going to do the same thing and government comes to a halt and i would blame them. if they do that, then all of this is a war-like posture. would you consider removing mr. mueller from his position? i could have ended it anytime i wanted. i didn t. i could fire everybody right now, but i don t want to stop it because politically i don t like stopping it. your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and well, that s true. they weren t actors. they re not going to be doing that. they weren t actors. do you think they were actors? they weren t actors. they re hundreds and hundreds of miles away. that s not an invasion. on honestly, i think you should let me run the country. you run cnn. if you did it well, he would be doing better. that s enough. put down the mike. cnn should be ashamed of itself hav
he cannot afford to be a sycophant] for trump. and i wonder, if he didn t know, i told people i m going to fire sessions, but i know i can t go after rosenstein or mueller, but i m going to throw this out as a smoke screen. yeah, i think so. but it still has real world implications. this guy, matthew whitacre, who was a u.s. attorney in iowa, he s on television and on twitter calling the mueller probe a witch-hunt, retweeting something that call tess mueller probe a witch-hunt. that was his job interview. he talks about how they might be able to scam the government and now he s running the irs.

joyce, what would you recommend to democrats that are investigating, going to be investigating donald trump? how would you recommend they conducts themselves over the next six months? it needs to be done the right way. it should be methodical. it should not be a scatter gun investigation. there should be a focus on ethical lapses in the administration, a focus on congressional oversight and i think in many ways a willingness to let bob mueller finish his work and let him handle the criminal side of the russia investigation and see what evolves. it s so easy for us to forget how quick and how efficient mueller has been. really he s on a record pace for any sort of public corruption investigation. we need to let him finish and see what he finds and then congress can determine what its legitimate function is once the
