all. to bring him out on the stage was to validate him. this was a guy who out of the trump administration is trying to rack up big speaking fees. fine. hollywood has helped supposedly supposedly liberal hollywood is helping him do that. it s important to remember here, sean spicer was not just any press secretary to any president. he was the mouthpiece of a president who dooef documented this exhaustively at the new york times lies at a rate that certainly no other modern president has. this is a president who as you just mentioned demon ice the news media and wages the assault on the very idea of truth. and i find it astounding that hollywood and that steven cobetter of all people. the source of that fame doesn t matter. i was surprised that reportedly it was steven cober s idea especially considering the
the flu, and its complications, needs to hear it. can be deadly. especially for those with a chronic medical condition. ask your health care provider for a senior flu shot. do it today. before the flu becomes an emergency. just turn on cars.coms on tprice dropswant? and get real-time notifications that could help save you money. use cars.com and save. so so there s more big news to report tonight on the russia investigation and this is something nobody saw coming. if you had told me this, susan, i would not have believed it. i d say that is absolutely not true if there wasn t photo evidence. president trump s lawyers ty cobb and john dowd were
mcgahn have in a safe that he wouldn t be sharing with the rest of the legal team? well, i will tell you my first thought was something from an earlier new york times piece where they talked about how don mcgahn saw an early draft of a letter that steven miller wrote at the direction of the president about why he wanted to fire james comey. and what the new york times has said in that earlier story is that mcgahn had deleted parts of that letter, had edited that letter and had comments that he put in that letter with his advice. that would be extraordinarily important evidence for mueller because it would tell mueller what advice the president was getting from the white house counsel before he fired comey. so that would be very important to the obstruction case. i would imagine that, you know, mr. mcgahn might want to keep that from others to try to minimize the extent to which knowledge of that came out if he was going to try to, you know, assert some sort of privilege. but i will
other lawyers is very unusual. both when i worked in the government and when i worked now in private practice, you typically have information sharing amongst people on a team, and that suggests a lot of distrust and division within the trump team. what are the chances that this could be some sort of matlock aw-shucks moment to get mueller to bring stuff into the investigation or into evidence that would not necessarily be so that could work out for the president and the trump administration? i mean, because it just seems so unbelievable that these guys would be sitting there, you know, in earshot of a new york times reporter. i ve got to tell you, after all of the recent stunts that mr. cobb has pulled, i am starting to lose disbelief in his ability to make errors. i mean, this is the same guy that was e-mailing with a reporter at 130 tooem in the morning and asking her if she s
that investigation centered on work done by a group of washington consulting firms for ukraine s former ruling party. our sources say that surveillance was discontinued at some point last year for lack of evidence, according to one of the sources, and then the fbi restarted the surveillance after obtaining a new fisa warrant that extended at least into early this year, now, the second warrant, don, was part of the fbi s efforts to investigate ties between trump campaign associates and suspected russian operatives. it s unclear when that new warrant started, but we have learned that as part of the warrant, earlier this year the fbi conducted a search of a storage facility belonging to paul manafort. of course, that s in addition to that raid last july at his home when the fbi executed that no knock warrant, don. do we know whether president trump, the president himself spoke to manafort while he was under surveillance? so it s actually pretty interesting because we ve told by source
