Interesting. Solid conservative, excellent legislator. I think es hes one of these people you want in congress. A person of tremendous integrity whether you agree with him or disagree. He knows full well hes going to face a primary opponent and trump will campaign against him but in the land of barry gold water, were going to see now a defiant and Maverick Mccain and someone in flake with this book and his campaign is going to elevate conservativism again. The ultimately they need to find a way to govern. The to go to voters to say give us your trust to move the country in a new direction. Thats not just about the economy and the governments intervention in the economy. So you have the republicans making a move towards conscience or so they say and chris, you
have this other blow to the president in the form of a lawsuit, former d. C. Cop accusing fox news of manufacturing a story, using the death of a dnc staffer to distract from the Russia Investigation. We talked to the donor at the
about that meeting with don trump jr. and the fact that the president dictated, according to some sources, at least participated, in a statement that was grossly misleading. think about that. this is trump family values. the kids come to the president and say, dad, it s time to come clean. we d better talk about what happened at that meeting. and what s the dad s response in no. that might hurt me. put out a grossly misleading statement, which fell apart within a couple days. what do you think is the upshot? h. they have a lot to answer for. yeah. but what do you think that somebody has been exposed to more legal jeopardy as a result of that? yeah. think that you heard that from the former prosecutor in the valerie plain case. i think they all to the o. got together, the special prosecutor, mr. mueller is
it s certainly true that lying to the public is not a crime. and putting out an inaccurate press release is not a crime. so, i don t think anyone s suggests that in and of itself you ve got a case based on false statements made in a press release, but, step back. if you re a prosecutor and looking at an obstruction of justice case, you re thinking in your mind a narrative. the you re thinking literally already about what an opening argument would make, what would sound like in your own head if you gave it to a jury. and at least what i would be thinking they re thinking is that they fired james comey why? we have the makings let s say a theory of obstruction. the theory is that he s afraid of what the russian s investigation s going to turn over. the so now you fast-forward and
overarching nar aive it. the so in and of itself, not a im kroo. no question about it. but as a - or he just doesn t like the suggestion so trying to do everything he can to tamp it down. i want a quick take from you on this. is what the russians would call what aboutism? forget about what trump and his staffers may or may not have done, what about the clintons, speech that bill clinton gave and the actions taken buy the secretary of state and money that came into the foundation. is there anything there you believe deserves parallel concern and consideration? no. and more importantly i don t think there s anything there that bob mueller and his team is going to consider relevant. a prosecutor s going to look at the case on all fours and say is this a case i can go to a jury and persuade 12 people beyond a
client who s the subject of an investigation is do not talk about this case with anyone. and in particular, do not talk about this case with anyone else involved in the case. and the reason for that is if the government prosecutors find out there were conversations, they are immediately suspicious and the first thing that they re going to want to find out is what were they talking about and were they trying to match their stories, and basically obstruct justice. but you have let me just get in there the analysis to help people out with this. because the president s theory is sufficiencyargument. okay fine we weren t telling the truth when i said i didn t play a role. it s not illegal for me to shape the message. i think it s all bogus so i m going to craft my own narrative.
