up monday saying he was referring to the classic he said/she said dilemma. a perjury conviction requires someone willfully telling a lie. not he said/she said. that is something that happens in court every day. joining us this morning is writer harry enten. good morning. let s stick with the russia probe and developments. when we ask voters what is important to them for the 2018 vote, russia probe is at the bottom of the list next to nancy pelosi. the president is obsessed with the russia-rigged investigation or hoax. whatever you want to call it. he is obsessed, but he is obsessed because he is watching cable news and we are talking about it. he says something, we say something. meanwhile, if you look at the polling, voters don t care. this encapsulates itself and the
time, that ronan feral were trying to track down that s an issue and, if any, of these litigations go to a deposition and he has to speak on the record under oath about them, that could be a big problem. that s how we got into the clinton cascading debacle in the first place. absolutely right. that s where the legal jeopardy comes in. i think we also shouldn t just blindly dismiss the idea that character counts in the white house. history shows that it does. before he start to say that it doesn t matter and voters don t care, let s not lose site of that. i m saying they didn t care and he benefits from a very low bar of how people feel about public servants right thousand. not this low. we ll see. i just haven t seen it change a poll yet, that s all. part of it is that nobody expects donald trump to be in the paradigm of moral living and so the expectations are low and he can get away with a lot. one thing that theoretically
it should matter. i ve heard some republicans, certain talkers say this stuff happens. bill clinton did it. voters don t care. i care. i ll be the fussy conservative that believes in family values. donald trump went through a messy divorce with his first time. i can t imagine didn t do damage to his children. it was messy are. everybody can look it up. i think of barron. he s old enough to read. cause the man of character do something like this? can you trust him with the power of the presidency knowing he would potentially wreck his family and hide it in court and pay off these women? no! it s not the just how many people are leaving the white house these days. it is also why they re leaving the white house. that s next. stay with us. i have type 2 diabetes.

the verge of a major revolt. right now with the way this issue is being handled. we should say former u.s. attorney. george hit the nail on the head. this is a matter of legality. this goes to the heart of whether we can trust or government to be fully transparent when they re supposed to be and properly handle this information and the professionals will have the final say. i think you re lost in the weeds on this one. that s what you hope. i think the voters don t care, and i think jim comey is beyond reproach. the voters care about whether we re going to find out who she really is and what she did. this is one element of it. all right. we have to take a break here. see you a little later. up next president obama delivers his last state of the union address. we ll sit down with denis mcdonough to discuss the challenges president obama faces. what do you think of president obama going around congress on gun control. let me know on facebook or on twitter @foxnewssunday
