he cannot be indicted is to say that he is above the law and that the framers set up another king which they were rebelling against which is unconceivable. he certainly can be subpoenaed and as president clinton was subpoenaed in the paula jones case and as nixon was in his case. the tapes were subpoenaed specifically. there s no difference between subpoenaing documents and testimony. the other argument that i ve heard from rudy guiliani is essentially that mueller is running a sort of shadow impeachment campaign because democrats don t have the house and there is what this is all about, that they don t have the house and so this is mueller is essentially trying to do what democratic politics can t do. well, that s ridiculous. again, there s been no leaks from this investigation. all we know are the people who have been indicted, the people who pled guilty and the court filings.
states zblp this goes back to the paula jones case, kellyanne conway s husband, on the side of paula jones in that case. it s like a puppy dog eating its tail. president trump noted the one year appointment of the special counsel with this tweet this morning. congratulations america we are now in the second year of the greatest witch hunt in american history. tonight politico is reporting more talk from rudy giuliani, which means it probably means absolutely nothing. giuliani is telling politico that, quote, donald trump s lawyers have gun planning a series of summer prep sessions for the president before a possible sit down for an interview with special counsel robert mueller. the planning meetings to be held
him. can he say, look, i m the president, forget about it? no. in fact, we saw that exactly play out in clinton versus jones. that s what clinton tried to say in respect to paula jones request for a deposition. the court upheld her right to take that deposition. he went into that deposition. he lied. it gave rise to his lying in the grand jury and his impeachment. this is very dangerous territory for the president, because as kim says, the defense here is, i didn t have that acting, i didn t grope her. if he says it didn t happen, and she says it does happen, and she can prove that it happened, then he s lied. in that deposition in the paula jones case, that was part of the reason he was eventually impeached in the house of representatives. not convicted in the senate but impeached in the house. that s exactly right, wolf.
michael hayden author of the assault on intelligence. it is out in book stores now and is a must read to understand the truth and application to govern. always a pleasure. thanks, chris. you read these before. there is no doubt this is senator richard burr. no doubt russia undertook an unprecedented effort to interfere with our 2016 election. something president trump denies. next statement. this is now mark warner, the democrat. the vice chair. the russian effort was extensive, stpeus credit indicated, ordered by putin himself for the purpose of helping trump and hurting clinton. do you agree with that. absolutely. that has been the case approaching a year and a half
or was it in the future, some tasty tidbit the russians were holding in front of his greedy nose? put that in context to the open investigations and the increased attention on michael cohen and these somewhat missing or mysterious disappeared records? yeah, every time we hear about michael cohen, we hear about more and more contacts with russians, and it goes to the idea of this potential conspiracy between the russians and the trump campaign to influence the 2016 election, whether there were gifts or payments as part of a quid pro quo. so now we re hearing about this activity going into the moscow hotel and connections there. as for the missing documents, i ve seen some reports that the financial enforcement network has come out and said that they do limit access. so it may be the case these files hadn t gone missing, that they are being limited in access by either bob mueller or the southern district of new york. and finally, whether they re
