investigators in the fbi that were anti-trump and back in the summer when mueller learned of this, he got rid of this guy, shifting him off to the side and getting rid of him during the investigation. what do you think of this? i don t know anything about the details, of course. we don t know what was really happening there and we don t know about this personnel matter and it seems pretty clear that bob mueller doesn t want anybody on his team who could later be used to sort of impeach whatever he does in the end. and so, you know, anybody who is sending out those kind of messages, if they re critical of any target of an investigation or supportive of the target, for that matter, you know, bob mueller is the kind of guy who doesn t have a hard time shunting you to the side and saying we need team players who will keep their eye on the ball and not engage in partisan views one way or the other. so it s unsurprising if this is true, and he didn t do it with any fanfare, and it apparent
invoking his veracity an service as a witness and trump will have to decide if he agrees with all of this praise he publicly gave his once loyal aide. the most ominous part of flynn s statement today is this, a piece of standard language at the top. quote, these facts do not constitute all of the facts known to the parties about this crime. think about that. bob mueller doesn t need to hipp tip his hand on the other facts t. law didn t usually work that way. but there is a story in these documents. it shows an effort on the part of the trump campaign to appease russia. it suggests this was a flurry of calls and coordination before they even took office. so when you move beyond what happened today of the lie and the false statement, you have to say why? does this look like policy at usual or were there other
president tweets this morning this is all a big hoax, goes back to blaming the media for hillary clinton, you see it right there. i just wonder what his thinking is? i mean bob mueller doesn t think it s a hoax. the bipartisan congressional committees don t think it s a hoax. facebook doesn t think it s a hoax. they re changing some of their strategy. why is the president doing this when his approval numbers going up? what the president is trying to do is reinforce to the american people the part that is a hoax in his mind and the minds of many that support him in this administration is pitting everything related to russia on donald j. trump and the trump campaign. what we know from the facebook revelation is we don t know the depths of what russia was doing as it relates to trying to meddle in this election, but we do know if that if there is going to be an investigation, it needs to be fair and it needs not focus singularly on one particular campaign. look at the totality of what
legal sense. that s a high standard. you look at the standard that was used in watergate impeachment. lying to the american people was one of the exact high crimes and misdemeanors they pointed to. the goal posts have been moved, in other words. how does it get to this point where the president himself is on air force one, crafting a statement that s not true, about a meeting his son had with someone purporting to have dirt on hillary clinton coming from the russian government? he doesn t know better. he doesn t know to stay away from this russia investigation. it has nothing to do with it. not talk about it, tweet about it, not talk to anybody about it, not draft statements about it, this is obstruction of justice, and it s an old strategy for obstruction of justice, you have someone who s going to be a witness in a criminal investigation donald trump jr. he s going to be a witness in a
unlike ukraine, they created a dossier that s been the basis for all the russian fake news. look no further than the clintons as we ve said time and time again. bill clinton was paid half a million dollars to give a speech to a russian bank. hillary clinton allowed one fifth of america s uranium reserve to be sold to a russian reserve whose investors were donors and the campaign chairman s brother lobbied sanctions on russia s largest bank. in you want to talk about having relations, which you seem obsessed with doing, look no further than there, if you want to talk about someone who s been tough on russia. look at president trump. he wants more fracking, more coal. those things aren t good for russia. you want to create a narrative that just doesn t exist. guys glenn? go ahead. go ahead.
