and have a way of consuming what the report s contempts are, meaning the foundation, the law itself, the code and then getting to the logic that therefore mueller and his lawyers went think? is this the beginning of laying out that video story? well, i m not sure fit s the beginning but the next step in democratic lawmakers particularly on the house side really thinking that it behooves them to keep this in the news as much as possible and keep the i word impeachment even if they re not opening an inquiry in the ether and in the news media which largely includes president trump himself as long as possible. and i would just like to note that beyond the mueller report related stuff among congressional democrats there is obviously a broad appetite to probe trump, the inner circle, associates, administration in a far reaching way, far beyond
and so their, quote unquote, facts represent their political ideology as opposed to i an hard fact. you know, it is with all of this news, i you the in quotes, about fake news, it has become gospel in the conservative world if you liston rush limbaugh that the mainstream media presents a lot of fake news. all the time. that s a cynical thing to say. fake news are designed to trick you. news rooms let me give you an example. the whole hkz benghazi episode with the video. she s saying video in public many, many times and the media is reporting this and yet she said to her daughter it was a terrorist attack. there are two different stories and the video story was not only fake, they put somebody in jail for it. let me ask you about. she walked back on that. she that s not factual. hillary clinton walked back on the video story. she put it out there. yes, she did and then she
not much of a friend. did you listen to the testimony today? shes was asked why wasn t security provided for chris stevens, he asked for it. and her answer was consistently, he knew what the risks were. she said ten times that security people at the state department and out in the field, either made decisions that she might not have agreed with, but that it didn t get to her disk directly. i think two things. from a communications standpoint. i think actually they overcorrected. internally they were so worried that the politics of this was going to look bad in the last six weeks heading into the election that they decide.gma find a way and then the video story got bigger and bigger and it was like covering up the lie, i don t think it actually would have hurt them to have said this is an al qaeda attack and to say why don t we go after the enemy, which is al qaeda. the thing that has always bothered me.
the problem with focusing on the aftermath, david, is that that is a political question. this is a political matter. she s not under oath. you know, susan rice is not under oath. the president of the united states. they argue differently than you see it. i mean, that s an opinion matter. it s not a fact matter whether it was did they really thing it was the video, did they think it was 30% the video and 9/11 and turmoil and tumult? should they have known? they re political questions not necessarily legal questions. that s why i don t think republican expectations that thursday s event will tarnish are well founded. david, last word. geraldo, there doesn t need to be a fine line between legal and political. the political bleeds into the legal, and it s not all just a legal matter anyway. if obama deliberately fabricated a video story and sent people
