Time, and all of this ahead of the first impeachment hearings this week. take a listen. it is a group of legislators and the bottom line here, hall hallie, in the transcript, no quid pro quo, and the overall tone of the transcript is that it is mutually laudatory. and you can make your own decision, but from the quid pro quo aspect of the phone call, there is nothing there. if there was a quid pro quo, it certainly was not an effective one. there are perfectly appropriate quid pro quos and there are inappropriate quid pro quos. i am not going the read these tran scripts, and the whole process is a joke. what i can tell you about the trump policy toward ukraine is that it is incoherent, and depends who you talk to. they are incapable of forming a quid pro quo. i trust president zelensky and president trump and that they did not say that the aid ....
Clear without a shadow of a doubt no collusion and it s time we move on for the good of the nation. this case is closed. so if that is the sort of mainstream republican attitude on capitol hill, it may slow down the demands and calls for transparency and slow down i think we re eventually see the details of the mueller report, make the determination for ourselves, but by the time we see it, the the spin will have already sort of made its way around and there may be even a fatigue oral exhausti an exha flavor. you don t do something if you don t have the votes in an exercise like that. impeachment, while you may believe it s part of the rule of law, it is a political exercise. not a legal one. you have to count the votes. hallie jackson is also with us. hall hallie, the white house said all ....
Over his west wing since the day he took office. a significant moment in time for this white house. why it s significant, by the way, after a huge week of twitter frenzy tweets, katy, nothing. two innocuous good morning make america great tweets. that s all we heard from the president so far. i wonder if he ll start to call robert mueller a good american here because he did not find conspiracy and say he was not partisan and conflicted. there aren t 13 angry democrats but did the president a service. same time, hallie, in this report or summary, bill barr make as point that robert mueller says the president didn t commit a crime, but it does not exonerate him. right. those words. does not exonerate him you will hear again and again from democrats. right? that is sort of the murky waters here. i think you re right. the president may change his tune about robert mueller. you may hear the argument, difficult for the president to ....
Families and a lot of folks take stock with the administration and whether they want to continue, in any administration. when you look at staff and turnover, the wall street journal has an interesting piece out, sort of the turnover the past four decades, a senior fellow who has followed this found that the trump administration has a 34% turnover rate among senior officials. that s actually higher than any other administration doing this tracking. the next closest is reagan. 1981 with a 17% turnover rate. how do you read that, tom? is that a function of this fast-paced burnout moment in time we re living in or something more? hallie, like a lot of things, it s atypical. what we have seen is number one, a higher than average rate of turnover, even for the first year of an administration which typically sees more turnover than the norm. this has been a lot of churn in this administration. the other thing we ve seen is the president is not owe he ....
Peace out. hallie, we both know that rex tillerson is a dead man walking in the west wing. they re guessing will he leave this month or that month. certainly lots of frustration from the president on down. the secretary has said he s going to extend some travel, take a higher profile. he said he was beginning to like his job. as we know about this president, hall hallie, he s reluctant to fire someone. he gets frustrated, make their life miserable, for a man who says you re fired, he doesn t do that. will rex tillerson, does he want to stay. all indications is that he s trying to stay and telling the white house, hey the ball is in your court, if you want me gone, you have to tell me. i don t know that that will happen. when you look, though, at the end of the first year in past administrations, too, it s sort of a time when people go home for the holidays, talk with the ....
