Interesting about giulianis logic. its pretty good legal advice, actually. he said, our jury is not in a court of law. our jury for the president is going to be the american public. if mueller finds criminal wrongdoing by the president, its going to go to a report to congress potentially, at first to the dep attorney general underneath sessions, because he has recused, then to congress, and ultimately the american people are going to be what guide the decision if there are every impeachment proc...

Regarding the hillary clinton campaign, but that all being said, the fact that we even have to talk about this president, his actions, the fact that hes needing a real attorney general is disgraceful. what we really need is a real president that acts like a president instead of trying to destroy the rule of law. >> as you know, the presidents former campaign chairman is on trial, the first of two trials for alleged criminal wrongdoing. i spent some time in that room last week and there was a fai...
