i m not under investigation into conversations with associates and allies. he has watch hours of tv coverage every day, sometimes even storing morning news shows on his tivo to watch in a the evening and complain non-stochl it is a basically all he talks about on the phone said one adviser. about those reports earlier this week that the president was considering firing robert mueller. quote, he is totally in a box now, one friend said. and it might make him want to fire mueller more. while we have have more on this later couldn t was the big kong baseball game in wsh. with steve scalise remaining in critical condition there was much talk about lowering the rhetoric, bipartisan shp then this e-mail from the trump/pence team, they have sparked protests in the streets and used the media to spew vicious rhetoric against the president.
tivo, as he reviews the whole thing. will he decide perhaps to speak out? it s great. you cover him better than anybody. will he be able to resist the fbi director calling him a liar? thank you, robert costa, from the washington post. when we come back, senator amy cloeb aszczur. that s ahead, and this is hardball, where the action is. time s up, insufficient prenatal care. and administrative paperwork. your days of drowning people are numbered. same goes for you, budget overruns. and rising costs, wipe that smile off your face. we re coming for you, too. for those who won t rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. optum. how well gets done.
