it is and part of the admissions of guilty not from trump u, but we re in the right direction really, it s similar to what mueller did. same jeurys diction issues here apply when you talk about suing a foreign government. what they re doing is a fail safe approach. a response to the republicans who were a part of the house intel committee who said we have only a hands off approach. we re not going to do anything about it in anticipation of the midterm elections. they are trying to ensure this issue stays positioned and to remind people it s similar to watergat whgate what the power the dnc trying to force the hand of people trying to do the right thing. next, michael cohen s attorney warning the president s
public statements is not consistent with the task of protecting his legal interests over the long term. the other thing that struck me, geoff bennett, i want to ask you about this because the president is someone who is no stranger to legal turmoil. this is somebody who himself was sued as a business person. he s used to dealing with lawyers. let s remember at trump u he had to settle and pay a lot of money, that he feels, again, in his gut, he s the guy who understa understands how to operate. what are you hearing from inside the white house about the strategy going forward? the president views himself largely as being in the driver s seat here. as jonathan and ken pointed out. the departure of john dowd is
