you said all remedies should be on the table. including impeachment? i never mentioned impeachment. why are democrats shying away from this? i am not mentioning the specific remedy, and they are others. the special counsel ought to be permitted to complete his investigation. that is interesting. i think democrats are having a tough moment because i actually was in the camp a few months ago arguing we shouldn t run on impeachment and because it s nearly impossible because you need 67 votes in the senate to remove the president from office. in this political climate that s not realistic under these facts. however, this week changed things in my view. the president was implicated in a federal crime in a court this week. that s what happened. so i think in this particular moment that is unprecedented. we have to perhaps consider something like impeachment. request are democratic lawmakers now saying, we have heard on elizabeth warren,
brian s back? he doesn t get my room. he s only going to be here for like a week. like a month, tops. oh boy. wi-fi fast enough for the whole family is simple, easy, awesome. in many cultures, young men would stay with their families until their 40 s. paul manafort he is desperately trying to distance himself from michael cohen. well, today, trump hammering his new defense, crimes aren t crimes, and just in case you didn t hear him the first time, he made sure to hit that point a few more times. he pled to two counts that aren t a crime, which nobody understands. those two counts aren t even a crime. a lot of lawyers on television
president and his detachment from reality as it would seem. you write in part, quote, the president is painting his own reality here. the president in an interview on fox news this morning was asked about the michael cohen payment. this is just part of what president trump said. did you direct him to make these payments? he made the deals. and, by the way, he pled to two counts that aren t a crime. which nobody understands. i watched a number of shows, sometimes you get some pretty good information by watching shows. those two counts aren t even a crime. clearly the president has been watching this show. but that notwithstanding, nancy, how do white house officials how do they try to even explain answers like that? well, i think there s a few things going on. one, i don t think there s a very coherraent strategy on howo deal with the fallout. two, i think there s a little bit of a strategy from outside allies and advisers from the white house. where they re going to try to
it was possibly suborning perjury, accusing others to lie under oath to cover up a politically damaging extramarital affair with monica lewinsky that had the threat to take down his presidency. with trump it would be conspiracy to cover it up during the campaign. to keep him from getting elected. in one case, to keep a candidate from getting elected. another case, to keep a presidency from collapsing. in 98, bill clinton survived. w why? because point after point in 98 98, the revelation of the apair, clinton s admission of the affair, the reese lease of the ken starr report that accused clinton of perjury. election day, the midterm election 98 clinton s popularity went up. the public sided with him. this was amazing. this was the story. if you asked voters did clinton commit a crime? did he commit perjury?
that is beyond the pale. incredibly dangerous to our cities and to our communities. let s listen to the president trying to say that the payment to the women were not illegal because the money came out of his own pocket. did you direct him to make those payments? he made the deal. he made the deals. by the way, he pled to two counts that aren t a crime which nobody understands. did you know about the payments? later on i knew, later on. you have to understand what he did, and they weren t taken out of campaign finance. that s a bigger thing. did they come out of the campaign? they didn t come out of the campaign. they came from me. and i tweeted about it. i don t know if you know, but i tweeted about the payments. but they didn t come out of the campaign. elie? so, real quick, that statement is contradicted by tapes. even if true, he is cooked either way. if it came out of the president s pocket, it s a campaign expenditure he did not
