Page 23 - Double Negative News Today

Carefully crafted because the responsibilities for the elections first informants firt with the state and local officials. if we have to ensure that theyre working with us, that we are providing service to them. but that figure you gave me on the percentage of americans who are concerned, he needs to be higher. we know they have the capability. we know they have the intent. it would be foolish to assume they dont try to disrupt or sew discord in our democracy. >> bret: so that message is not wha...

I said would instead of wouldnt. it should have been "i dont see any reason why i wouldnt, or it wouldnt be russia." sort of a double negative. you can put that in and i think that clarifies things pretty good by itself. >> remember that would/wouldnt was one sentence in a larger rant against the fbi and parading putin for being strong and believable in his denials and so foresth. i think it is clear that what trump said in helsinki was a definition of a political gap where the politician says w...

Hours after the helsinki helsinki presser. by the next day president trump gave those supporters on fox a way to stay with him by saying i misspoke. it was a double negative. he gave them enough of an excuse to stay in his corner. we see the polls making clear most trump supporters are furchlly wifurchl -- partly with him. if president trump is going to get another interview he needs to be asked why are you calling this a hoax? where is your patriotism? >> thank you both for that conversation. w...

If you go back and look at the january 6, 2017 briefing he was given that i wrote about last week with my college matt rosenberg that lays out how putin ordered this, he just cannot accept it in his mind because heconcongratulaflated t the russians were involved in this. he cannot separate out that he may have been legally elected and the russians were trying to get him elected. >> should with ride in the way back machine? >> wednesday? thursday? >> all the way to tuesday. >> i want to know what...

I will say this. i dont see any reason why it would be. >> the sentence should have been "i dont see any reason why it wouldnt be russia." sort of a double negative. so you can put that in, and i think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself. >> one of the presidents staunchest supporters, though, who says mr. trump needs to do a better job clarifying his stance on russia. listen. >> the evidence is overwhelming. it can be proven beyond any evidentiary burden that russia is not our ...

Others. they said they think its russia. i have president putin. he just said its not russia. i will say this. i dont see any reason why it would be. >> the sentence should have been "i dont see any reason why it wouldnt be russia." sort of a double negative. so you can put that in, and i think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself. >> well, actually, it hasnt clarified much. theres been so much back and forth. and one of the presidents staunchest supporters says mr. trump needs t...

Been and i thought it would be unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video. the sentence should have been i dont see any reason why it wouldnt be russia, sort of a double negative. >> i want to bring in right now ryan nobles. the presidents latest tweet not only does he again appear to side with vladimir putin that the russia investigation is all a big hoax but he asks why he wasnt warned about russian interference. the fact of the matter is he was warned. >> that a absolutely rigis...

Be properly documented. and "the new york times" jumping ahead if there is a case, quote, its not clear whether a federal judge would rule on whether prosecutors could even listen to the recording and well get later to lawyers here. but whether or not the prosecutors get it, its in "the new york times" for a reason tonight. do you think its because michael cohen is continuing to give the president a hard time? >> maybe when michael cohen told donald trump he wouldnt record his conversation maybe...

Back? >> we heard this story about a guy who took a guy out on a date, wound up stealing her car and ending up taking another girl on a date and then got caught and went to jail. >> thats audacious. >> you got to fall back, bro. thats crazy. >> i heard of stealing lines, but stealing a whole car for the day. >> thats crazy. >> thats not good. ill do one of the week that everyone has been thinking about. ill just tell vladimir putin to fall back. stop messing with the elections as charged and as ...

Believe it was a matter of a misplaced double negative. when he said he didnt know -- >> that will clear it up, right? >> right, i dont know why it would be russia. again i find this to be puzzling. and i even -- whenever i get a chance to ask republicans about it, i am so curious like about the story they are telling themselves about what they are doing at this particular moment in time because they think you go in -- you choose to go in politics, you choose a life of public service. i understa...
