russia and doing all these crazy things that violated the stated policy of the united states, according to them, trump was already pissed at flynn. he was angry at flynn because obama warned him about that investigation on november 10th, 2016. so trump has spent the day saying, i didn t know about the investigation, and that effectively, according to the mueller report, is him calling steve bannon and hope hicks liars. that s what they told the fbi, is that trump not only knew about it, but that he was really stewing about it all through december 2016. marcy wheeler, quinta, thank you both. appreciate it. joining me now, a legislator who has been calling for the president to be impeached for oth ooe over a year now. congressman al green. you re someone a lot of people have taken the position that we have to wait and see what the mueller report says then move on that. get all the information.
to fight a war on multiple fronts, from the southern district of new york to the federal government, and have all of these lawsuits and all of these proceedings coming at him, and have that cloud over his head as we go into the election. not like, oh, they re too scared to do their job, so i m going to continue pushing hard. what do you think? one of the most embarrassing things that happened this week was watching congressional democrats read the mueller report in press conference. it was not the kind of aggressive i don t know. by reading the mueller report, what do you think is going to happen? my thing is, my dad is from pakistan. they recently impeached the president. my dad is no liberal democrat. he d identify as a moderate. the nation he comes from, their prime minister was impeached for far less what trump is accountable for. he s like, why aren t people taking the streets? i do think it is important. there are folks who say, why don t we abandon this because it is jus
investigation into the russian hacking. no one gets this. no one gets that in the summer of 2017, at the same time that trump had just met for the first time with vladimir putin in this kind of crazy meeting in the g-20, he went to lewandowski, dictated to him it is right there in the report made him right it down. lewandowski is like, he s never dictated anything to me before. makes him write it down. in that paper, he says, go tell sessions to shut down the investigation into the russians who hacked us in 2016. mueller can investigate what s going to happen in 2018, 2020, but not 2016. that s crazy. no one knows that trump tried to shut down the entire investigation, not just his side, but the russian side, as well. this also speaks to part of what the sort of broader theme here is, quinta, which is many, ultimately unsuccessful efforts to blow up the investigation. ordering don mcgahn to fire
