Details to a group of reporters because he liked the fake story so much the first time he kept telling it to get it into the press. this morning the president appears to have accidently come out against his surveillance policy and didnt know enough about what his policy is supposed to be to realize it was his policy fox and friends were telling him to denounce. its every day. every single day and in general as a country, we have adapted, shockingly, quickly, to this being our new reality. right?...

Was today a change? >> yeah, no, of course it was. i was in the rose garden of june of last year when he had a press conference alongside the romanian leader and he was asked would you talk to robert mueller on this stuff, and he said 100%. he did not repeat 100% today. well, we think theres going to be a desire anyway for an interview. and that will pose a question to him and his lawyers. are they willing to take that chance? putting a president in front of an investigator with the possibility ...

Assertions or make answers he might believe or might assert but might not necessarily -- might conflict with other evidence. so its a big risk for any lawyer to tell him he would be okay talking to investigators. but if he doesnt theres a big political cost as well. >> john heilemann, is denial of collusion grounds to deny an interview? does he have the right to say you know what, im good, lets not do this? >> no, i dont think he has the right to say it. and i actually dont think hes going to sa...

Grassley now claims to want to embrace. >> its actually, in some respects, even a little bit worse because the criminal referral referred to a bunch of stuff that was classified. so, the assertions that theyve made are hard to rebutt and hard for the subject of the criminal referral to rebut. at least senator feinstein took the record, put it out there so that everybody could make their own decision rather than selectively quoting from or referring to classified material that the person who is t...
