georgia. ossoff didn t talk about it barely, and there was no indication that voters were penetrating. that doesn t mean there aren t serious issues that need to be investigated, but, there may be an argument to be made that doesn t need to quite dominate the political discussion in washington to the degree that it currently does. can i ask you something about winning despite the haters because it have mentioned earlier. so many people michael, said donald trump was out or don after he criticized senator mccain or made fun of a disabled reporter, when he criticized the gold star family, that lewed video came out the hollywood access thing. he wen after the federal judge. right. the president s party keeps winning the special elections so why would the president believe he s right and everybody else is wrong? i m sure he does. what stop him from believing
you know what, the honest answer is in some areas of the country, yes, she is. that s the honest answer. why so? i just think first, as unfair as it is, there have been a lot of people that have spent a lot of money running negative ads against her. i think in certain areas, like in some of these special election districts, it doesn t benefit our candidates to be tied to her. and it s not fair, but it is true, and there s a reason why the republicans are still using it. when you hear republicans talk in the gym or running around the house floor, they say, you know, just keep going the way you re going because we re still using us. i had a member of congress grab me tonight, say please tell me you re not going to get rid of nancy pelosi, please tell me she s not going to retire because that s who i run against. she s less popular than donald trump in my district. you tried to unseat nancy pelosi as house minority leader
precious little evidence it had any impact at all on the election in georgia. ossoff didn t talk about it barely, and there was no indication that voters were penetrating. that doesn t mean there aren t serious issues that need to be investigated, but you know, there may be an argument to be made it doesn t need to quite dominate the political discussion in washington to the degree that it currently does. can i ask you something about, you know, winning despite the haters. nia mentioned it earlier. so many people, michael, said that donald trump was out or done after he criticized senator mccain or when he made fun of a disabled reporter, when he criticized a gold-star family, or when that lewd audiotape came out. or went after the federal judge. right. he keeps winning. the president s party keeps winning in these special elections. so why would the president believe he s right and, you know, everybody else is wrong?
i think his investigation has to include everybody. he has to find out what the facts are. it may be that he ll come up and conclude at the end which appears likely will happen that donald trump was engaged in an obstruction of justice. i don t believe at this point in time he could ask the grand jury to return an indictment on a sit go president. legally. but that doesn t mean there aren t other coconspirators involved in that decision for the exact same reason, to ditch that fbi investigation. if that s so, those people can be indicted and brought to justice. in the same way that it was double with the watergate investigation, there s no reason why all of these facts relating to the president of the united states can t be turned over to the house and then be part of any kind of impeachment proceeding. if that s where the evidence leads. look, we have not at this point seen the memo that s james comey has written. we don t know exactly wha his
criminal liability in this case, does he have to find, in your view, someone other than the president? i think his investigation has to include everybody. certainly did the trump was part of the trump campaign. he has to find out what the facts are. now, it may be that he ll come up and conclude at the end, which it appears likely will happen, that donald trump was engaged in obstruction of justice. i don t believe at this point in time he could ask the grand jury to return an indictment on a sitting president. legally. right, legally. but that doesn t mean there aren t other co-conspirators involved in that decision for the exact same reason, to ditch that fbi investigation. if that s so, those people can be indicted and brought to justice. in the same way that it was done with the watergate investigation, there s no reason why all of these facts relating to the president of the united states can t be turned over to the house and then be part of anyind of impeament
