the justice department looking into you in the first place. these charges were filed well before the window of the justice department guidelines. again, this is not scripture, the justice didn t doesn t have to follow them are about 60 days before an election. this happened mid august, early august well before the 60 days. the justice department making clear that it wasn t political, even though the two people in this investigation happen to be republicans, paul ryan, speaker of the house, his office put out a statement. the justice department should always remain apolitical and the speaker has demonstrated he takes these charges seriously. that s my question, phil mudd, to you is that the kind of bold over my dead body, out of my cold hands statement that paul ryan should be making as the president takes on the idea of impartial, apolitical justice? look, i think paul ryan will walk away from his office people saying he s a respectable man. you look at his behavior under the trump
which wasn t political. bill shine is a completely nonpolitical guy. he is more from the world donald trump is from. maybe he will fit better with this president in terms of how he communicates than some of the staffers that have been in this position before. mike shields, kirsten powers, i appreciate it. thank you very much. thank you. the government official in charge of the care of the immigrant cares boasted about the work his department was doing. just ahead we ll take you to the southern border for an update on the pace of the judicially ordered reunifications. are they actually happening? find out ahead.
but i will say this. one of the approaches the president has is that he goes towards people from new york, people from the business world, people from show business to come in and help communicate him because he doesn t believe political professionals in washington, d.c. necessarily know how to do it. now part of me is offended by that because i m a political professional in washington, d.c., but then i look around and see how things are done here, and i go well, i can completely understand why he reaches that conclusion. and that s what the american people elected. they wanted someone who was going to do things differently and come from his background which wasn t political. bill shine is a completely nonpolitical guy. he is more from the world donald trump is from. maybe he will fit better with this president in terms of how he communicates than some of the staffers that have been in this position before. mike shields, kirsten powers, i appreciate it. thank you very much. thank y
mobbing people in public or threatening a new bombing campaign like in the 70s as one magazine recently did, that s the thing that turns a lot of americans off. this is the country throughout history has not been too far from political violence and had a lot of periods of political violence. like the congressional baseball game. and the gabby gifford shooting. that wasn t political. that was just crazy. and i said the congressional baseball game because i meant it. that was, as we know, political and so short time ago. you d think that a big tragic event would make americans against trump calm down the rhetoric. at least for more than two or three weeks. after that congressional baseball shooting, things calmed down about a month. seemed to be normal. now everything is ratcheted back up. that s what drives the president s approval rating to be higher than any republican than bush after 9-11.
today he falsely claimed the ig report exonerated him. it had nothing to do with the rrp investigation, nothing about on instruction it was about the handling of the e-mail investigation. the e-mails, yes. it said we had no reason to prosecute hillary clinton, that james comey, although they thought it was inappropriate, that it wasn t political in the findings and they didn t think anything struck or anybody else said whether they should be doing it or not, texting each other. they don t think it had any effect on the outcome of this investigation. well, i m going to say this. this president is always going to be right in his eyes and within his administration. he wants to operate from a stance of strength and he wants to show that he s won and he was right in firing comey, no matter what the 500 pages found. this president has a contingent, a constituency that believes him no matter what. you could see that its blue
