Updates of the days news. Tell bob mueller anything that would incriminate President Trump. There was also the caveat that had he witnessed a crime he would have resigned. Can that be known for certain, depending on what else mueller has learned throughout the probe that don mcgahn did not offer anything that is incriminating to the president . Well, absolutely not. What we have right now is the word of mcgahns attorneys, and so people who were not privy to the conversations cannot know for sure what was told. The reality is it is a bit comforting to the president , of course, because theres ongoing concern that people close to him could Say Something that would harm him. But perhaps Mcgahn Didnt Share anything that could Incriminate Trump because there was nothing to Incriminate Trump, which is the Argument Trump has been making all of this time. But the reality is the investigation is ongoing and we will see more in the near future. Speaking of the reality, eugene, we are talking here when it comes to the mueller investigation, you have President Trump, who says he has been staying out of it but if he wanted to, if he wanted to he
could jump back in and run it. Whats the reality of that . Well, the reality is he does have more power to change who is involved and change leadership, to make more pressure, put more pressure on Jeff Sessions, of course, to make some decisions, and hes done that quite a bit right now. But the reality is his lawyers have cautioned him against that, and it, of course, makes him look as if he had done something that is problematic. Thats the only reason he would probably change the leadership of this investigation to protect himself. It would probably be in his best interests if he is as innocent as he claims he is to let the case run out the way the American People want him. Yes, some lawmakers suggested it would be a constitutional crisis if the president tried to take over the Russia Investigation so to speak. Thank you very much.
