going to be here if you have presidenti presidential harassment. people will start to see this as harassment, but democrats have a clear message here and that message is they want to see clear and direct oversight. they are kind of throwing up their hands. it seems to be occupying the president s attention. i heard this morning that president trump is waiting for the mueller report. robert mueller never received a vote. lying james comey, the collusion delusion. phoney charges of russia, russia, russia. the attorney general says i m
when we receive information in a classified setting we will investigate things that come up in classified settings and there will be an appropriate time to have the reveal, but when we hear things in a classified setting that s the duty i took on as vice chairman of the intelligence committee. you won t say whether this washington post story is correct washington post is correct? i won t comment about it. i want to play a sound bite by the president yesterday. take a listen. if you use your rights and you use your power, article 2, it s called obstruction, but only for trump, but nobody else. he s basically saying his firing this is about the firing of james comey, that you cannot interpret that under any way as obstruction. is that fair? well, again, i ll let lawyers make better judgments but i ll tell you this. an investigation into the
bottom of things, getting to the truth. that s what we re supposed to don on the oversight committee when we do investigations. that s my focus. as i said the record under the president s leadership is simply amazing. the things accomplished for the country economically and in a host of areas, and foreign policy as well. can you say the president has not always told the truth on russia? i don t think the president has lied about russia at all? not once? not about the trump tower moscow project? he didn t mislead the country on that? even james comey, when we deposed said up until the day he was fired there was no evidence. no single bit of evidence to show any type of why do you think the president didn t want to tell the country that he had a trump tower moscow deal in the works? i don t know that. the president said one thing and then you ve got michael cohen saying something else. jim jordan the top republican on the oversight committee. i m guessing with he do this
the president s national emergency declaration. yesterday we saw a president who seemed both energized by his crowd at a conservative conference and simultaneously unnerved by everything that s happening around him. in the longest speech of his presidency before an adoring cpac audience, mr. trump was eager or maybe desperate to talk about every success and every controversy and every grievance of his presidency. negotiating with china. i m building the wall and we got rid of the individual mandate. religious liberty. lying james comey. socialism. the collusion delusion. those cara vans. a national emergency. we re being invaded by drugs, by people, by criminals. phony charges of russia, russia, russia, russia. the manic performance complete with expletives seemed like a fitting end to a week like few others in mr. trump s presidency. what i heard this morning, president trump is waiting for the mueller report. with mueller s report expected any day, president trump delivered an
new reaction to president trump preaching to the choir at cpac yesterday. his performance raising new questions about the evolution of the republican party. here are a few moments from his two plus hour speech. this is how i got elected, by being off script. russia, please, if you can, get us hillary clinton s e-mails. please, russia, please. i saw little shifty shift yesterday. jim comey, lying james comey, i said, melania, i m doing something today, i m doing it because it really has to be done. he s bad. he s a bad, bad he s a bad, bad guy.
