about the investigation are either mostly or completely false, 37% feel he has been mostly truthful, joe. so again, despite all the attacks, despite all the calls from the trump administration to wrap it up, despite the fact that rudy giuliani has said time and again on tv, bob mueller doesn t have a damn thing, try to bring this to an end. despite the president calling it a russian hoax, nearly 60% of americans believe it s a worthwhile exercise. well, just too many russians that have been indicted. too much evidence out there. jonathan turley, i ve always said that donald trump at the end of the day always said after he got elected and after about two or three months in i said at the end of the day, donald trump would go down in history as a warning to future wanna be autocrats. you just can t do that in this country. those numbers, though, in that poll actually are just made for defense attorneys in this
situation in the future where you can hand almost that to your client. oh, you think attacking the prosecutor is going to help you out? look at these poll numbers. robert mueller who didn t say a word has the confidence of the american people over a guy who talks about it and obsesses about it everyday. there s no question it s been a universal position among attorneys that the tweets, the attacks are not helpful to donald trump s team. but what s also fascinating about these polls are how baked in these numbers are. that number 37% comes up all the time on popularity, mueller, all these issues, you have 37% that is not moving. that create assort of weird, political and legal dynamic. clearly trump is appealing to that position. and it does seem to be hardened. now, does that give him anything politically? probably. does it help him legally?
two items, the collusion case and the obstruction case. what would the president consider sitting down two with the approval of his attorneys? how much has this conversation evolved? well, i think we have to take everything rudy giuliani says with a grain of salgt. and when we re only hearing about these conversations from him, it is very unclear to me how accurate he is in relaying those conversations. but if it is true that giuliani is considering a response to mueller and that they are continuing to negotiate about this interview, it surprises me a little bit. mueller has the carrot of a subpoena. and i think most legal experts including me believe that if this were to go all the way to the supreme court, that donald trump would have to sit for testimony in front the grand jury. but what it tells me is two things potentially. one is i think bob mueller doesn t want a fight. he doesn t want the litigation battle to go down. and the reason for that is the
manifestation of that bias through your words, bob mueller doesn t ask you about a single one of them. so i looked at 0 people like lisa page. did he ask her about her incendiary texts? throughout the team, you have people working for bob mueller who have active connections to hillary clinton, you know, greg anders donated to the clinton campaign. andrew goldstein donated to the clinton campaign. genie reeves represented ben rhodes in the benghazi representation. she represented the clinton foundation against freedom of information act. andr andrew wiseman attended the election party. and then there s you and
when we get into the manifestation of that bias through your words, bob mueller doesn t ask you about a single one of them. then i look at other people bob mueller picked on the team, like lisa page. curious to know whether or not he asked her about her incendiary text messages. throughout the team you ve got people working for bob mueller that have active connections to hillary clinton, greg anders, kyle frein ee, andrew goldstein, donated to the hillary clinton campaign, james corals, donated to the clinton campaign. jeannie reed, represented ben rhodes in the benghazi investigation, represented the clinton foundation against freedom of information act requests, andrew wiseman, number two for mueller, attended hillary clinton s election night party. aaron zell be, represented justin cooper who set up hillary
