represents what trump s lawyers expect to be their last word on mueller s request for a sit-down interview. the letter from trump s lawyers leaves open the possibility of having trump answer some questions in writing. according to the two people familiar with the negotiations. earlier today during a live radio call-in show, conveniently hosted by his co-counsel jay sekulow, rudy giuliani called on mueller to end his investigation, but declined to get into details about these negotiations about the interview. we don t have an internal deadline. we are moving i use the phrase expeditiously through this, and understand the significant constitutional issues that are raised. but mayor, i know you ve said and i ve said, we want the see this come to closure soon here. mayor? yeah, we do. it s about time that it ends. i also think and i hope the special counsel is sensitive to it as we are. we
You are being a little melodramatic. maybe you could go on some medicine. maybe you should see a doctor about your fears. you think the guys paranoid? absolutely. i recommend hit see a doctor and treat his fears. he said, no. this is really happening. no one believes me. so, with all this drama going on, stacey took the kids for vacation the second week in august of 2006, paul was all but convinced he would never see them again. michael, the best friend, try to cheer him up, changing the subject to the exciting new chapter, his fiancée would be moving in with him in a few days. in fact, paul was on his cell phone with her as he pulled into his driveway on wednesday, august 23rd. as the fiancée s chatted, he marked about an empty lying on the floor. that he took her to task for leaving the central air

Vitale, democratic strategist and host jamaal adams. fox news, guys, came out with their own statement after ron desantis did that interview. it s rare to get fox news to come out and say they don t condone certain language. doesn t happen all that often. a little while ago we had ron desantis, the republican nominee for governor in florida, on for an interview to discuss the florida election. during the interview he made what some are calling an inappropriate comment about his democratic opponent, andrew gillum. we do not condone this language and wanted to make our viewers aware he has clarified his statement. it s interesting when fox says they don t condone that language. jamal, what is your take on this? do you think it s a slip of the tongue or is it a dog whistle? in about august of 2006, there was a united states senator from virginia named
As long as they want to keep saying moral victory, they can have their petition patient trophy. there is one winner and one person gets sworn in. dana: at reading karl rove s column this morning reminded me of august of 2006. he was deputy chief of staff. i would say they are asking me how you re feeling about the midterms and he would tell me all these things are going in our direction. until they worked. geraldo: midterms are tough. the thing about moral victories, it s interesting. the participation trophy. i think of a moral victory plus $2.75 gets you a token on the subway. they don t even use tokens anymore. i think the democrats are facing a potential problem with this division. alexandria ocasio-cortez, we ve been playing her. she s the best advertisement for republicans. she represents a wing of the
