they did. exactly. that s, one, could potentially be a crime if they said that lie under oath. two, it shows consciousness of guilt. if this is a nothing meeting is it plausible that they d forget it? no. you forget what you had for lunch yesterday. you don t forget that someone reached out to you about dirt in a campaign, whether you think they were a russian living here or a russian living there. it was it was someone with at least connections or ties to a foreign country. that s unusual. i mean that s just not normal campaign conduct. so, no, you don t forget about it. if you re lying about it, it means you are covering it up for a reason. i think they said they thought at the time he was an fbi inf m informant. that s not true. in they thought that, they would have said that after he testified. this is a way to try to deflect an incriminating meeting they were about to take and lying
potentially campaign conduct by his team during the election. and it does go to state of mind. because if he ordered the firing of bob mueller. it shows that he is looking for ways to impede the investigation. into his own conduct. and that he is willing to violate the law and ask people to undertake unethical things. this would be now the third individual, don mcgann would be, who the president of the united states has asked to undertake an unethical action. he asked jeff sessions not to recuse himself. he asked chris wray to undertake a political purge of the fbi and now we have him asking don mcgann to fire the special counsel. michael, elise here. what is happening with the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein? how is his standing with donald trump? you know we were just talking off-set about how he comes into the job and he s told to author a memo, six days in, that eventually leads to comey s firing. what about today? where does he stand with donald
is loyalty. this is a carry over where he valued personal loyalty. he has no notion that office holders are supposed to be loyal above all to the constitution and not to the president and they re not there to protect the president from the consequences of his own misconduct. that is what s revealed here. it s pretty obvious for a lot of us and i hope the rest of the country, including the suppo supporters are waking up to this. and i would hope they would make it clear he could not get rid of special counsel, mueller. he could not short circuit this investigation into his own campaign conduct. that is would be further obstruction of justice and further grounds for impeachment. i m sorry our time is short. what do men and women actually think of the ban on transgender
it doesn t get much more important to that. norm eisen, ambassador, we have a good point here which doesn t have to be mutually exclusive that james comey acted inappropriately during the campaign and that his firing yesterday is extremely suspect. your take on it? well, whatever you may think of the campaign conduct and there is a debate to be had about the rules and there is some proper criticism. the timing of the firing and the frankly, blatant, open pretextual nature that was because of comey s conduct during the campaign that trump and sessions had previously embraced, that s a lie. it s the latest in the trump big lie strategy and the fact that there is a falsehood together with the timing just as these rumors and i was hearing them all day yesterday before cnn broke the story of the grand
hillary clinton like elizabeth warren? part of that equation has to do with this meeting between joe biden and elizabeth warren that happened over the weekend. a lot of talk what was said and what was not said. there is is some talk that joe biden would pledge if he gets in to be a one term president, thereby possibly asking elizabeth warren to be his running mate and opening othe door for her for a nomination in the second part. steve. do you buy that? that is the point, right? that s the point of all of this. what we are watching is a carefully orchestrated campaign conduct conducted by joe biden and his advisors to gim a potential run. that doesn ts inly mean he ends up running. we know for sure that he wants us to believe that he is going to run. i think this development with elizabeth warren over the weekend is interesting. it shows how central she has become to democrat party politics. look, you nobody i have talked to in democratic
