As a legal challenge we don t know that yet. i just need to say that on the record. that s your suspicion but we don t know that yet. i m willing to say that based on my analysis of this and sekulow s and even john dowd back in the beginning, i ve never seen a situation in which we pressed them for, what do you have, you want him to testify, tell us what you have, and they go mum on us. usually that means they have nothing. i wanted to get a witness to testify. i gave him at least one good fact that would shake their day. i want to ask you about something that is new this weekend, and that is the special counsel apparently wants to interview white house chief of staff john kelly. and that, too, is up in the air. what is the mueller team saying to your team about what they want to discuss with kelly? they re not. they re dealing with emmitt on that, emmitt flood, the president s special counsel for this investigation, as is the right thing to do. i m glad to see that emmitt is ....
Campaign so that the fbi could put an end to that russian conduct and they had a confidential source talk with folks in the campaign so that they could learn what was happening, and protect the american people from interference. so in this intel briefing you had chief of staff john kelly and emmitt flood in attendance to relay the president s desire for as much openness as possible under the law. the two did leave the meeting before it officially began. they did hear a little bit of what was being said at the beginning. they ve gotten criticized for showing up at all. given flood s security clearance or lack thereof what do you make of their decision to make an appearance in the first place? i think it s disturbing that they appeared at all. flood has a great reputation and is widely believed to be someone with high ethical standards, and our understanding is that they were there for the beginning of the meeting and left. but the problem here is this perceptual issue that the pre ....

Attorney ty cobb is on the way out. i wonder if he is already in tahiti. he was previously the president s lead white house attorney for the mueller investigation. trump of course replacing him with emmitt flood who advised president clinton during his impeachment. just a few minutes ago, preet ferrara tweeted from a purely legal and competency perspective, trump should follow giuliani long before sessions, rosenstein. preet going for it. i think prwise, trump has always had his eye on the fact he had this base and he could convince his base and that s why all his people go on fox in this entire this entire affair is played out under the less than intense withering questioning of fox hosts, and still they screw up. so i do think that there is a political element to it. you want to stay in office as long as you can and perhaps ....
