capability. we should not just be talking about it. flying in a bomber for two or three days is not impressing anybody. let s put in place the resources that we need to thicken the defense in south korea and load up the bases with the capabilities that we need. stop sending military families to south korea. that doesn t make any sense to me whatsoever. it should be what we call an unaccompanied tour. troops only. neil: you think anything weird will happen? for the olympics. oh, i think if he does something, it will likely be another missile test. neil: why would he risk that when his own people are going to south korea? he s enjoying this cozy way of sort of edging us out by dealing with the south koreans. why would he risk harming that? well, i m speculating. this is one of the things he could do. i think yes, he s getting out of this what he wanted. he uses negotiations to promote
officials that this event happened in june of 2017 just after mueller was set up as the special counsel is going to look at this as part of a potential pattern of obstruction of justice. remember, you ve got a month before comey was fired by the president and before that, the president asked for a loyalty oath from comey. some where in the middle of that, he suggested to comey, go easy on mike flynn. so the idea that there were serious consideration, whether it was an order or just talk to fire robert mueller is something that you have to figure robert mueller will pay attention to. shepard: why wouldn t he? this matter of an interview with the president, much has been discussed on this the last couple days, whether he would be under oath or not. doesn t seem to matter. if you re being interviewed by the fbi, you have to tell the truth. aside from that, are they working on the rules for this sort of thing? do we know? absolutely. we re told that the president s
report and having such a big impact on the stock market. calling him false and dishonest and he said it caused the stock market to drop 350 points. there were probably people to the president s point that lost some money here. the market plunge wasn t only because of the brian ross report. mike flynn had just pleaded guilty which creates an atmosphere of uncertainty in terms of washington which wall street doesn t like and nobody will win a suit on this. abc gave the president an opening for that kind of criticism and abc was tone deaf at the beginning. first the mistake was described as a clarification. then it was upgraded to a correction and then abc executives apologized and suspended brian ross without pay for four weeks. sandra: is that enough? i ll leave that up to others to judge. i do think abc needed to show that it took this kind of mistake, this high-profile and damaging mistake very seriously. sandra: i want to get to
end quote. we are going to have them on later in the week here. my impression of that campaign was a campaign that was living hour to hour. it wasn t day-to-day or week-to-week. they were really trying to figure it out as they went along. i just wonder, i saw you on the trail so much and i wonder if that was your impression as well. absolutely. it was being planned on the fly. but that was often in kind of a day-to-day sense. i think donald trump had a bigger strategic idea of how to appeal to republican voters. he had an instinctive sense that republican voters were disillusioned not only with barack obama but with george w. bush and the whole republican establishment. trump instinctively knew this. he is not a political scientist and doesn t read a lot of political books but he knew
politics clouds the behavior or animates the behave area. you find an f.b.i. agent that doesn t have a political opinion and you won t find a serious thinker. bill: i don t think he was just an f.b.i. agent. there are 8,000. he dealt with the clinton email investigation. does it change your view? no. what my view is that jim comey was wrong to exonerate her, not his decision to make and there is overwhelming evidence of her guilt. but the manpower or person power that actually extracts evidence and gathers information, that is an apolitical job and it doesn t matter what the politics are of the people who do it. that information then goes to justice department lawyers who decide what to do with it. in the hillary clinton case it never made its way to the justice department lawyers. jim comey short-circuited said we won t prosecute. bill: they are suggesting this should be reopened and investigated again. i have been arguing for 11 months the duration of the
