what they have to do, it s just crazy. i think that s likely to be the tone throughout this and the debate, the real debate is going to be inside the democratic party. and it s not necessarily going to be about this position itself. it s all positioning. , i think, for 2020. abby: obviously the supreme court ignited this division in this country and the hate that we have seen going on for a while now. now it is at a level that i have not seen before. and everyone is, you know, pointing a fingers who is to blame for this. that conversation was had last night ben shapiro and bill maher itself. this is how that played out. you would not vote for a democrat under any circumstance or some circumstance. i mean i would say some circumstance but the democratic party would have to stop being insane. if you are talking about the civility thing. why don t we start with the republicans stop saying lock her up. he talked about locking comey up and journalists up. shouldn t the civility argume
and say that is a bridge too far? the only person that knows the answer to that and doesn t know it right now is donald trump. i mean do you think donald trump knows two hours before he s going to say what he s going to say? he s in the rally setting that s going to lead him most likely to say something abhorrent to use the word of the day. they re outside that saying lock her up. that s when he gets himself in trouble. at the same time, this was really too far. and while he is a man that does not ever and he also knows how to separate himself from people. so i see those tensions and i agree with you. you know, tune in to see how that goes. he can also go from one thing to another, right? he was against roy moore before he was backing him again. he can start off by saying this was bad and then after a
evidence comes forward, it will never happen. so then you ll have a presidency where there is no accountability. and as president trump said during the campaign, and he was very, very clear when he talked about hillary clinton saying lock her up, him along with flynn, they said that nobody is above the law. and they are absolutely right. there s another thing. one of the reasons why we want to bring everybody in, the deputy attorney general, and i know rod rosenstein because he served here in maryland for over ten years as our u.s. attorney. but, rachel, we ve got sessions who says that he recused himself. now, wait a minute. am i missing something? you said you recuse yourself from anything to do with hillary clinton. you say you recuse yourself from anything to do with trump and president trump and the russians. well, wait a minute now. you now just, as i read the documents that were put forth by the president, he says that the
mueller entirely trying to bring this into the court of public opinion saying what mueller did was unlawful because he went around the transition team, and the reason is because he did not trust them to hand over all of the relevant e-mails and he thought some would be deleted because that s what that the transition team with the lawyers would have done and they would have sorted out you mean the way hillary clinton sorted out what was private e-mails that were the source of trump saying lock her up. that s what they wanted to do. how interesting. and they are upset their e-mails have been districted. lots of irony as well. i want to read the response of mueller responding to the reuters story. when we have obtained e-mails in the course of our ongoing criminal investigation, we secured either the account owners consent or appropriate criminal process. they did not have their consent.
lock her up at the end. the skit ends with hillary clinton re-emerging as the final ghost and clinton says to trump, lock him up. this week, the revelations about trump have the detractors hoping for that outcome. you can see that among a former clinton aide, obama aide wondering if mueller is closing in. you see at the end, clinton emerges. we hadn t seen kate mckinnon playing hillary clinton in a while. she had a lot of fun at the end saying lock him up. guys? all righty. brian, we appreciate your time. thanks. thank you, sir. be sure to catch brian on reliable sources at 11:00 a.m. eastern today on cnn. after a law trying to block the republican tax plan, democrats are searching for a path forward. we will speak with ranking member of the budget committee to talk about what happens next.
