And crucially he knows he is not supposed to do what hes doing, not supposed to get involved, admitting at much in a Radio Interview yesterday. You know, the saddest thing is that because im the president of the United States, i am not supposed to be involved with the Justice Department. Im not supposed to be involved with the fbi. Im not supposed to be doing the kind of things that i would love to be doing. And i am very frustrated by it. I look at whats happening with the Justice Department. Why arent they going after Hillary Clinton with her emails and with her the dossier. If we havent yet heard widespread calls for impeachment, its because this president s disregard for the rule of law for democratic norms, his authoritarian impulses are largely baked in in the countrys perception, even among political insiders. It was just a couple of days ago, for example, that he called the american criminal Justice System a joke and a laughing stock. On top of that, all indications are that th
already opened the investigation by the time they learned about the papadopoulos case. sean: because their timing off. right. sean: june 20th steele writes the phony dossier claiming trump russia collusion for five years. and helping hillary hurting hillary clinton and hurting trump. he hadn t been running but for a year. you ll have to be clairvoyant to know that trump was going to run. two weeks after he writes the dossier, he meets with the fbi. after that, they open the investigation and only after that do they talk to downer about papadopoulos. so the truth is sean: the guy that got drunk the dossier, the fictitious dossier that triggered the hoax. sean: i can t say this enough. this is the clinton bought and paid for dossier by a foreign
we grant our presidents. it is illegal, however, and could be construed as such, to dangle a pardon. and we should also mention, it usually comes as a last resort, not a first. yeah, the constitution gives extraordinary leeway to a president to pardon almost anybody he wants for almost anything under any circumstances. and so the president discussing a pardon, i think it s going to be hard for a prosecutor to say that per se is illegal. what s so unusual in this case is that, of course the investigation is about the president, is about the president s conduct and the president s inner circle. so we ve never in our country had a circumstance in which the pardon was used to obstruct an investigation of the president. this may be a case of first impression for this special counsel. this might be the kind of thing that if litigated could go all the way to the supreme court. and that becomes a unique question is what you re saying to this case, that we ve never seen a pardon dangled in
officers confronted clark in his grandmother s backyard. they thought he was armed. but clark had no weapon, just a cell phone. california s attorney general now joining the investigation into the shooting. clark s family wants more action. they want a federal investigation opened. today, white house press secretary san rare sanders was asked about high profile shootings including the case. this is something that s a local matter and we feel it should be left up to the local authorities at this point in time. this is why, of course, there is a movement called black lives matter. a lot of folks are paying close attention to sacramento. tomorrow, more protests are planned there as is clark s funeral. coming up, not for the first time and not for the last, but
the trump campaign, but the trump campaign was certainly eager to reciprocate. and i do have to say that in february of last year, the times wrote the first story about contacts with russian intelligence and we took some heat for it. but we ve only seen case after case that have shown that these contacts were real. and mika, mr. gates is not the most famous or infamous name in this case. he surfaces in the news from time to time. let s talk about him for a moment. he s cooperating, of course, which means, i m guessing, that the feds have infiltrated his life. so what s the potential that he comes up with even more of this sort of thing? i think it s very high. you have to remember that rick gates was not only paul manafort s right-hand man, he was the deputy campaign manager for a time on the trump campaign. so he would have been privy to all kinds of strategic conversations went the trump campaign itself, and also privy
