A recap of the day s news.
love trump or whether you disdain him, i think everyone can collectively agree that his relationship with the truth there s a major disconnect. there was one report i saw said he told 2100 lies since office. another one said 3,000. another five a day. another ten a day. if you sit down with mueller, if they don t have obstruction, we don t know whether they do. he s tweeting. his state of mind is all over the place. he could say he fired comey. if they don t have obstruction and there is no collusion conspiracy, it s conspiracy, but the fact is you can get him on perjury. so why take the chance of going sitting with mueller no matter how smooth you think you are, no matter what you think you can say when you re going to get caught in a lie because you will lie because that s what this president does, period. harry, so far mueller hasn t moved on this demand that he wants trump to sit down in person. this negotiation has been going on since january that
clinton and don, jr. among others. and there is more. a federal judge is forcing a long-time aide to trump advisor roger stone to turnover documents and testify before a grand jury hearing, hearing evidence in the mueller investigation. stone sought damaging information about hillary clinton from wikileaks, the website which published thousands of hacked democratic e-mails, e-mails stolen by russian hackerses, hackers the trump justice department identified as agents of the russian government. there are also new developments in the trial of the president s former campaign manager, paul manafort s bookkeeper testifying that her boss was effectively broke and lying to banks about his precarious financial situation after losing his biggest client, which is the pro-russian former ukrainian president. and that was right about the same time that manafort started working for the trump campaign. the bookkeeper also testified that she knew nothing of foreign accounts controlled by manafort. t
Just doesn t have. because the faa doesn t have the resources, federal agency tasked with making sure new airplanes are safe is allowed to outsource inspections to delegated organizations. or oda. which are designed to perform the authorized functions of the faa. who are they? this case, they are boeing employees hired by boeing, paid by boeing to oversee boeing. not a mischaracterization, the fact is, through the organizational designate d authority, they oversee their own people with how they get this airplane manufactured, the faa has very little if anything to do with the actual manufacturing of the aircraft once it s been approved to be manufactured. boeing and other manufacturers oversee certification of aircraft, engineering design, manufacturing, operations and maintenance on behalf of the faa. the faa says it does oversee
And maybe before. i m a little surprised. i would have thought he would have said, you know, forget it. it s been silly that team trump has been acting as if it s got the leverage here and maybe they ll decide to sit down. as you say, the law is likely to be with mueller and he can just go to court. now it gets a little tricky if he really is inclined to wrap things up before the midterms, probably even a quick process in the courts would extend past november. but, look, i agree with joey he s an inventor, liar. the big problem here i think really goes to the substantive exposure for obstruction and the fact that mueller would have so much information that the president just doesn t have. at this point, though, there is also the real possibility that he would file a report with the
Information that the president just doesn t have, and at this point, though, there s also the real possibility that he filed a report with the conclusion, looks to me, as if it s obstruction of justice. we gave the president many chances to come in and try to explain. he declined then. you can certainly charge without hearing from the defendant. that s the risk if trump stays quiet. i want to talk about the oligarchs. the attorney for the russian oligarch and pop star son to encouraged donald trump junior to hold the meeting says that conversations about a potential interview between his clients and special counsel robert mueller are ongoing and have been for almost a year. so why are these dplaoligarchs important to the special counsel s investigation? they re important because we all know and understand, and i think there s agreement with the exception of perhaps the
