democrats should not be upset. they should not be a republican issue. when i read the rolling stone and the rolling stone exonerates devin nunes and says he s 100% right and vilifies adam schiff to say he is 100% wrong, that s known as a left-wing magazine. but the truth is the truth. the truth is the left is upset to find beyond any reasonable doubt that the president did not do anything wrong. no sane person can really make that case about russia collusion and also there are a lot of people in the media that have much to account for. you see what was said to specifically about the dossier which was not credible on its face and they didn t release it. but then when it was useful, they pretended it was credible and then they say hold on a second, this is utterly absurd. i hope we have a lot of people that forget what their role was in this whole conspiracy. if i was going to make a required reading assignment, if you take the executive summary is about 19 pages and read it this wee
understands there are people in the press and congress elsewhere saying why they wasted their time with that. she didn t answer many questions about her time in the white house. they said we knew this was going to happen. the point was to dramatize for the court what the implications are. he is referencing a lawsuit that he will force don mcgahn to testify. could this be good news for democrats if it makes some case to the court on other white house officials? he is right. he s building a record that will be presented to a federal court judge here in washington, d.c. they will see the games that the administration is playing. i skimmed hope hicks pages of testimony. the good news, i don t think we have to give america that reading assignment. i can sum it up. hope hicks covered up presidential crimes and did so without a viable privilege. 30-second history lesson. judge baits decided this issue
in those? i think the committee is interested in frankly getting any affordable care act witnesses, first-hand witnesses who dealt with the president, who can relate to the american people what the president said, what the president did, in fulfilling congress s oversight responsibilities. thus far it s been secondhand information at best and it has been largely through the mueller report which requires the american people to pour through 448 pages of documents. when you give the american people a reading assignment like that, i don t know they re going to finish it in a timely matter. when you look at hope hicks, for example, the big question this morning is what will the white house let her say or not say and how does executive privilege play into this? executive privilege, it seems like the administration has taken the position that executive privilege means we can tell anybody don t go to congress, don t appear, don t comply with a subpoena. first of all, that s not how it
works. ordinarily witnesses would have to appear, would be asked questions and then, if there were answers that implicated executive privilege, they could assert it. then that issue would be preserved to be resolved by the courts. here is the hope hicks problem that i think we re going to now find ourselves dealing with. hope hicks, it s been reported, will testify behind closed doors. i see this as one step up and one step back. why? because the american people again will not see for themselves how she it was and her credibility. what they will get is perhaps hundreds of pages of transcripts of hope hicks testimony. what does that do? it adds to their reading assignment. i will venture a guess that the american people are not going to begin pouring through hope hicks transcripts as they supplement the mueller report. we re in a problem here. all still shorter than harry potter. there s hope yet. it s growing. glenn kirschner, thanks for
the police commissioner bit, ran for re-election on the grounds that he had been declared innocent by a court of law. have you ever been declared innocent by a court of law? and that was the plofrmt which propelled him forward. i suspect that speaker pelosi is there. if the i were a member of congress i would at least support opening house judiciary committee hearings so you could give mueller s reading assignment to the country a bit more of a chance where you could add jute kate this. and i m still not done preponderate i want to circle back to mueller. because you mentioned atchison. you mentioned 41. let me throw into the dna pile, he has some of the blood of chesty puller the great marine let s not forget the 74-year-old man who stood at the lectern this week has a bullet wound in him from the north vietnamese. and that makes him of different wiring. the question is, will he be
