did violate it. will this president fire her as a result and how unusual is it to have this sort of ruling? it is very unusual for the office of special counsel to have to conclude not only that there was a violation of the hatch act by a government official but multiple violations by kellyanne conway. they already toild the white house about her violations months ago. nothing happens. president trump won t fire her. he won t fire her for the same reason he won t comply with the election law or the emoluments clause for the same reason he will not honor congressional subpoenas from the united states house of representatives. he has a great big middle finger up in the air for the law, for the congress and that is not going to change until there is an open impeachment inquiry. we re going to leave it there. richard painter, thank you for your time on this saturday. the kickoff to the democratic primary is days away. over two nights 20 candidates
and some people have suggested the north koreans will give up everything they ve got but in return the u.s. would agree that we are not going to allow any nuclear armed airplanes or nuclear-armed ship tons korean peninsula. is that acceptable? well, we certainly have made that commitment and, again, i m looking at the declaration, in the context of south korean agreements. again, looking at 1992, when they said nuclear free, they meant with respect to the two koreas. chris: you don t view this as involving any kind of commitment from the u.s.? i don t think it binds the united states, no. chris: after summit on friday president trump tweeted this, korean war to end. the united states and all of its great people should be very proud of what is now taking place in korea. i don t have to remind you,
kim jong un now, kim told koreans that he would give all of his weapons up if the u.s. promises not to invade, is that a guaranty that we would be willing to main? a discussion that remains to be had, while we should be optimistic in pursuing the opportunity, we should be skeptical of rhetoric until we see concrete evidence. chris: well, i m not going to pull your old bites now but i will pull president trump s from this week. kim jong un was he really has been very open and i think very honorable from everything we are seeing. chris: kim jong un open and honorable. i think the president is focused on doing everything he can to make this meeting a success. it s somewhat different than what he said before, but i think he s saying, look, if you re
going to come with a real strategic determination to give up nuclear weapons, we are going to have a very serious conversation. chris: okay, let s turn to iran where president trump has a may 12th deadline to decide whether or not to reimpose sanctions on the regime in tehran and to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. the administration is talking with our european allies about a plan to stay in the deal but to add agreements that would limit iran s ballistic missiles, sanction regional aggression and end sunset clause when iran can start to break out and rebuild nuclear program in 2025. would president trump accept that? stay in the deal if you have those kind of strengthening add-ons. he had made no decision on the nuclear deal whether to stay in or get out. he s certainly considering the framework for pillars the president macron layed out in
public opinion here, if you hate donald trump, comey is probably winning the war. chris: no minds are changed? i don t think anybody s minds are getting change and bob mueller s investigation goes on undeterred. chris: i want to pick up on that because the president made it clear that his patience with the mueller investigation is running out, take a look. i m very disappointed in my justice department but because of the fact that it s going on and i think you ll understand this, i have decided that i won t be involved. i may change my mind at some point because what s going on it s a disgrace, absolute disgrace. chris: at this point, do you think the president may still pull the plug on the mueller investigation or do you think the real likelihood of that is receding? i don t know. that s the problem here is that we don t know. he s given no real indication that everyone should just feel confident that it s going to
