unspooling of regulations, which is good but they had nothing legislatively. big failure on obamacare. now they have the victory on taxes. some things he noted today that are tucked in almost as afterthoughts. if they were stand-alone, people would ve made a big deal. drilling in anwr, repeal of the individual mandate. i think you have to give him a pretty good grade. see you and you said for much of the year terms presidency. now it s a discernible shift. even though you may be are giving him credit for some of his things he stuck, many in the mainstream media, no way that happens. they are lying about this bill. they are saying it s a tax increase for the middle class. based on a projection of what
not doing these trips and that someone low level in the campaign should go so as not to send any signal, i think then you have to start, you know, unspooling all of this and trying to figure out who these people were, what they were doing, what they intended to get from the russians, and what the russians intended to provide. and whether they actually got anything. exactly. and whether they got anything. that s really the key. and we know this spring when the the washington post was doing some reporting they were saying manafort never wanted anything, and we didn t pay any attention to papadopoulos, so i think this has to be played out. what does it tell you that papadopoulos was made aware of the russian s so called dirt on hillary clinton in the terms of thousands of e-mails in april of 2016. we don t know what that means this is long before wep we nigh there were hacked e-mails. we don t know if it was the
way to say yes, they did hit an array of issues. but there is no unspooling this. i mean, the president said what he said. and it is very clear to me that he has no confidence in his own attorney general, that he s angry at his attorney general, and i think it s very difficult to see how those two operate in the future. and i wonder what jeff sessions is thinking of doing tonight? because i don t think he has a lot of great choices in front of him. because what the president said to him is you could have avoided all of this for me. now, if jeff sessions wants to get up and answer a journalist s question who s clearly going to ask about this and say on my own man i have to do what s good for the country, good for him. but, you know, you have to i think one other thing, to add to what glor yea was saying, today at the white house was all about trying to get republican senators back on board.
ward, to an interview that he gave to the new york times. and it is full of grievances, it s dominated by russia, although they one out of their way and say they did hit an array of issues. there s no unspooling this. the president said what he said. and it is very clear to me that he has no confidence in his own attorney general that he s angry at his attorney general, and i think it s very difficult to see how those two operate in the future. and i wonder what jeff sessions is thinking of doing tonight, because i don t think he has a lot of great choices in front of him. because what the president said to him is you could have avoided all of this for me. now if jeff sessions wants to get up and answer a journalist question who s clearly going to ask about this and say i m my own man, i have to do what s good for the country, good for him. but you know to
with russians, with no supervision. it was a terrible exercise in judgment and of course this is you know, we re seeing in live real time now a russian active measures intelligence operation where they were either going to get access to donald jr. or as the case turned out to be have compromising information on him where today that we re discussing that he was interested in receiving negative information about secretary clinton from a foreign government. and so, you know, i have a lot of questions about whether we re still seeing an unspooling fsb kremlin plot to continue to confuse and delegitimize what we have going on here in the united states. greg, i want to play some of keir simmons interview with this russian lawyer. here s just a snippet. had the impression, it
