list, aren t there competent lawyers who are not political partisans? if he is saying he didn t realize who he hired, i think that might be worse than saying, i don t make judgments based on politics. harris: here s the note i wrote down while you were talking. are you at a point where there s a binary choice? i don t know. with the out of touch, or partisan? there s no way to know, because he says he doesn t even know who they were, really. in terms of their politics. james: that s hard to believe, isn t it? harris: how do they find out? katie? the president has been tweeting about it for months. katie: we know these people are. andrew weissmann was at hillary clinton s party the night of the election. based on what we know about the origins of this investigation and the fact that robert mueller had to fire peter strzok or, he didn t fire him, he moved him into a dominic different apartt over bias.
mr. mcgahn to basically falsify records. the press reported to have the special counsel removed. trump reacts by directing white house officials, tell mcgahn to dispute the story. create the record saying he had not been ordered to have the special counsel removed. is that not evidence of donald trump trying to twaemp the evidence? no. he didn t tell don mcgahn to go to the special counsel and lie. and saying something to the press to get him to defend himself is not telling him to lie. don mcgahn said that s not my recollection. i m not going to do it. the president doesn t loike it but he didn t fire him. he never said, whatever you do, don, don t tell them about the conversation that we had about jeff sessions. so trying to get a sboord national to go out there and publicly defend him. so you re saying that lying to the public is different than
