Phil mattingly, thank you so much. Dana bash who used to run up and down those halls for years and years and years. Phil has talked to folks on both sides of the aisle. Confident that the house will get to this and nancy pelosi was so key in brokering this deal why is she standing there now for fourplus hours and saying no . I saw you write that down and because youre you, is why you picked up what you did about nancy pelosi. To people at home, it makes no sense. Not at all. Because shes getting attention for the issue shes upset is not in there. She understood because she is as sort of seasoned and tough as a legislator as they come, that at the end of the day, we saw what happened in the senate a few weeks ago. They tried to use the Immigration Issue as leverage for keeping the government open and it didnt work. Shut the government down. It didnt work out so politically, at least in the short term, for democrats. Nancy pelosi is making using the megaphone that she has by saying, you
okay. that s those two guys. let s talk about the president. because the latest, you know, sort of strand on the story of will he, won t he talk to, you know, bob mueller, mueller s team, special counsel when they ask they haven t yet. his lawyer are trying to avoid that potentially. to me what s being overlooked here is the rationale to why trump wants to talk to him from our reporting page. it s because the president thinks he is a master at these sorts of things because of his experience with lawsuits and the fact that he has been in so many depositions. brooke, i have represented many people, high-level executives, political figures, never the president. but many people who were targets of a criminal investigation or subject of a criminal investigation. and they think if they just had the chance, they could go in there and explain it all to the investigators. they could talk themselves out of being charged. that makes absolutely no sense.
