But, of course, yesterday it was a phrase that he uttered 16 times during this speech, and that was a calculus made by the president and by the white house. and i was told it was never really in question whether to go after trump in this speech because they felt like they couldn t not do so, given the role that they believe he played in what happened on january 6th. but the question privately was how scathing should the attack be and how sustained should it be? and, of course, it was an overarching part of this speech. the first time i think we have seen a current president label the former president a liar in the way that president biden did yesterday, but the white house said that was completely intentional. though i should note they said this isn t going to be some new strategy going forward. they re not going to go after trump at every turn. the voting rights speech in atlanta on tuesday, for example, but it was definitely a calculated choice that president biden was making yesterd ....
He s helped on that stage in terms of winning their respective elections, and what he s done for the country. and he took a whole lot of body blows but stood tall. we ve got great candidates to offer to make sure that in 2020 we take back the white house. and we re going to do it but we ve got to do it in such a way that you don t alienate your friends. because if you go after biden in such a way that people think you re going after president obama, you then have an impact on voters of color. because they re not going to go with that and you run the risk of staying home. please remember what happened with president obama was giving a state of the union and congressman wilson called the president a liar during that during his remarks. that really hurt them. because people came out you go to barbershop and beauty ....
Here s mueller staying categorically that it s false. here s all of the stuff we know. what s the big message that democrats must get across on top of which i ll just add one of the places mueller went in the hearings that was a little surprise to people is the skep the he casts doubt on the president s credibility. he got as close to calling the president a liar as bob mueller could ever come talking about the lack of credibility he had in comparison to other witnesses. taken all together, what is the message that democrats could potentially drive that the american public really needs to hear? you know, i think phil is right when he says the president does a much better job of writing bumper stickers than the democratic party does. but really it s tough to take these difficult complex issues and turn them into a bumper sticker. i guess you can see the president is a crook. but the more important line for democrats to get across is that the president tried to preserve ....
Things that the presidents and his team did wrong, if not illegal, if he s going to stick by that and don t know that he is, the idea that president was not honest in sworn answers to testimony, that s a crime. also stunning. politically calling the president a liar is one thing. when you have the counsel who is talking about the report of which they spent two years and a lots of money and lots of investigation saying he didn t believe the president s answers under oath were truthful, that to me is another category altogether. i was just surprised he went there. it will be interesting to see if he walks that back because that is not referenced in the report. that is beyond what he said in the report. and i think that is not certainly not helpful to the president. and what is so remarkable about today in any other parallel universe testimony like that would have been devastating to a president of the united states. barack obama, george w. bush, whatever. but the fact is i guess ....
Shannon: if you re going to declassify this, why not be more transparent with congressional investigator? comey calls the president a liar and says this is a smart screen for things he has done wrong. not the case. we have a 300 page mueller report, a year of fbi investigations, two years of mueller investigation, more than 1.4 million documents turned over. there has unbridled transparency on the part of the president who didn t declare executive privilege during the mueller process. what we have are a lot of facts suggesting jim comey and abridgment of the fbi were engaged in wrongdoing from peter stzrok saying i have to have an insurance policy against the president, the dossier, political contents were concealed in a footnote and not fully aired out, for a fisa warrant, to look into. led to her isaac encourage transparency but i hope democrats will as well. i hope you will join inviting ....
