Make allegations about the special counsel s investigation more broadly and about robert mueller personally. you might have seen reference in the last week or so to a sort of joking reference to a nude selfie that may exist in the mueller case. that came from one of the deliberately provocative filings from his lawyers. but all the attitude from his lawyers and t i think, admittedly provocative nature of the way they argued this case for their russian clients, doesn t mean they aren t doing something serious here. they have attempted to mount a serious challenge to mueller s authority. they re trying to get the special counsel s investigation shutdown. specifically, they have structured their defense strategy in this case to get something that the russian government might want out of the special counsel s investigation. they have structured their defense strategy in this case to try to obtain massive amounts of information about the operations
Well, if anyone of these senators was hiring a chief counsel and it came up with all these allegations were out there, i don t think it would just plunge ahead. it wouldn t plunge ahead and hire them. tucker: you know what you might do, actually, it is make someone undergo six separate personnel fbi investigation sufficient to give them access to the nuclear code oh, wait, they did that to brett kavanaug kavanaugh. or if he was part of a teenage rape ring, do you think that would have come up in any of those investigations? t i think that s a red herring because the fact is, years ago somebody would have said bill cosby was a pillar of the community, and meant it. until one woman came out and and somebody else i d come that happened to me, too. and then it was 60. i think that is true for brett kavanaugh? the point is, if the fbi had in ane investigation of bill cosby, they wouldn t have found that,

[indistinct question] still assessing the intelligence ourselves. we are still working on this. secretary mattis added that the u.s. military stands ready to provide all military options to the commander in chief. sean: a lot of this has come down to, in a lot of different ways, what is america s role? t i think the president has been very clear. he doesn t want to be an interventionist. it doesn t believe in nation-building. we saw that the president last a time, very emotional reaction. i don t think anybody can look at those images of women,
