it s a sad moment. it turned like that. yeah. and what is so interesting here is we have some of the words on the page now. right. the white house, though, have their version of, quote, the tapes. yeah. they moved them. to secret service. not for classified reasons, not for national security reasons, but to protect donald trump from either politically damaging consequences or from impeachment. and so we actually know where the trump tapes are. yeah. and the question now is, mika, how does congress get them? are they going to have to go through the courts to get them to get the verbate of that conversation where he lays it all out? top democrats are accusing the president of witness intimidation after he attacked the whistleblower s sources. it happened yesterday morning at a private event at the u.s.
gentlemen, good morning to you both. john you first here so this video which the president also tweeted an edited version of, that was the latest jab in the series of back and forth between the president and the speaker this week. pelosi called for an intervention to save the nation from the president. the president said she is crazy. so what is going on here. what is the intent of all the back and forth? i think that pelosi is in some ways trying to rally democrats together and maybe distract from the impeachment talks. as we have seen from pelosi over recent weeks she is fairly reluctant to move toward impeachment. she is also fairly reluctant she doesn t want to appear too political as impeachment at this point almost seems inevitable. this is a lot of drama and political theater and by taking this dramatic and entertaining stance against the president she
investigation but i don t think it s dramatic enough to say that you want to ask cohen who asked him to lie. i mean, are you looking for sort of the investigative version of, you know, who called the code red? i mean, who told you to tell this lie which happened to be the same lie many other people if the president s business and political orbits told, lies about russia, lies about business interest with russia, lies about contact with russia? right. everything we know about michael cohen is that he faithfully executed directives on behalf of donald trump for over a decade. so everything he would do was only by direction of donald trump. so if he lied to congress, which he pled guilty to, i think logic dictates that you want to know was that at the direction of donald trump? we interviewed hope hicks and i asked her during an exchange that we had in our interview if donald trump had ever asked her to lie and she invoked a number of privileges, refused to answer but finally told us sh
back filled to figure out how to explain it. i don t envy those people because it can be very difficult. as mark eluded to, it is different to what you re saying on a rally stage from what you are saying in the oval office and what you are saying on your twitter account that has more than 50 million followers and you are the president of the united states. people look at that and expect that s information they should be able to trust, there is support for the claims that the president is making, that he s not going to put something out there like that there are criminals and unknown middle easterners in this group of people without having da to back that up. we all as supporters start to call people in the administration who can potentially give us whatever information underlies those claims and they tend not to have it and they will refer us to other agencies or back to the white house, which usually gives us some version of, well, the president s tweets speak for themselves. but th
