we know the ending, so why should we do all the president s men ? they said why do we do this when we know what the outcome is? i said that s not what the story about, it s about the two guys. that s right. and what they did that nobody knew about. and you said it was a detective story. detective story that but the main thing, and i think you felt the same way, was the alchemy of the two guys, considering their differences. and one of the tough story points for me was how to deal with nixon. how do you portray someone so twisted on the inside and so straight-laced on the outside? richard nixon is now the guy who when you see photos of him even at his prime you cannot believe he was ever president of the united states. he seemed to me to be the kid in the schoolyard whom all the other kids picked on, and i identified with that. who was nixon? nixon. nixon was a party guy, an animal.
say yes because they all said we know the ending. so why should we do all the president s men. they said why would we do this when we know the outcome? it s about the men that nobody told them about. you said it was a detective story. a detective story, but the main thing, i mean, and i think you felt the same way was that the alchemy of the two guys, considering their difference, one of the tough story points is how do you portray nixon, won so twisted on the outside and so straight laced on the outside? richard nixon is now the guy who when you see photos of him, even at his prime, you cannot believe he was ever president of the united states. he seemed to me to be the kid in the school yard whom all the other kids picked on and i identified with that. who was nixon?

you talk about the dynamic between mcgahn and trump that trump doesn t necessarily understand that. was he serious or did he do anything? did he just talk about firing jeff sessions, talk about going after rod rosenstein or did he ask people to do thing snz. the story points out that s what mcgahn is talking to the special counsel s office about. we ve seen much more clearly the trump pr campaign and strategy against mueller. not necessarily the legal strategy. and what that pr campaign has been is no collusion. and that s always kind of been the harder point to prove. but this sfotory shows when you look at the trump tweets, last year trump tweeted no obstruction one time. he s done it twice in the last 13 hours and about once a week for the last six weeks.
