so what did president trump do here? last time i checked, comey and clinton aren t being prosecuted. this news comes as president trump submitted his written answers to robert mueller as the special counsel s investigation appears to be winding down. joining us now with reaction from the hill, joe concha, sarah carter and civil rights and criminal defense attorney david shown. i m going to start with you, david, you re the attorney here. as i understand it, you think that the written answers by the president was not a good idea. i happen to join you in that. but the president or his attorneys made the decision that he should do that. now, the special counsel mueller is not limited to washa, under the recs as it relates to the special counsel investigation. isn t everything at play here in terms of perjury and anything
tom stier has put into democratic organizations to elect people who want to be all they want to do is investigate this president, and ultimately try to impeach him. don t forget what the core of stier s grassroots effort is, to impeach the president. in the final weeks that meadows is chairman of the committee and can call on investigations, we ought to be looking into things like that. you know, what s interesting, also, mark is that meadows, the house freedom kau kiss, lead e caucus is saying his committee is trying to secure testimony from whistle blowers who could have had more information about the clinton foundation. but do you think anything will happen in this department of justice? i mean, there is talk by the way, that the clinton global initiative got their 501c3 status from none other than lois learner. i do have a lot of hope in this investigation.
