not on the merits of the case. that appears to be false. i can tell you tonight there s no public evidence, trump hasn t offered any, to impugn the judge s political approach to the case. this sounds a lot more like what trump does himself. trying to distort the legal processes of our country to attack his enemies. most lawyers would say it but tonight let s be clear, it s not just any lawyer but the most powerful judge in america who you see your screen. a plan with a lifetime tenure which mean he is can out last trump. he may have the final word on the mueller probe. he says we do not have obama judges or trump judges, bush judges or clinton judges. what we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges. he goes onto say they do their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. that independent judiciary is something we should all be
no. listen, i m grateful that judge roberts came out and said what he said. i think it s incredibly important. what s disturbing is we have one incredibly powerful statement from a chief justice but that has to go up against time and time again the president of the united states impugning the court and the nation s institutions. that creates a narrative over time where a lot of americans, especially those who are in the president s base, start to just not have faith in our institutions. that s really where the most damage is done. it s kind of a gradual chipping away of faith and institutions. that s when we re primed to not just one another. it s when we re primed to see our political opponents as en y

that? are they going to say you have to know campaign finance laws, too? i think it s implied in all of this. the president can try and step back and insulate himself and if i m defending him i m going to say i m running for public office and i m letting the people around me advise me what i should and shouldn t be doing. it s implied in the fact that you are running you have at least a working knowledge of what this campaign finance law is. that s why these co-conspirators, whether unindicted, are the people who are now circling back around and the government s able to prove their case against everybody who is involved. the safe, steve. the associated press is reporting that there was a literal safe at the tabloid, at the national enquirer, that held documents documenting these negative stories about trump that were squashed. i don t know if you are the investigators. you are looking for that safe
