Ever seen from government. The notion that somehow the fbi implanted, planted someone inside the campaign to spy on the campaign is just not true. All right, so greg, the medias been wrong about the dossier and collusion and now about spying. I know you want to talk about the honey trap. I probably dont. I want to say theres been one oasis of rightness and i believe its called the five. Weve been right the entire time. By the way, i didnt enjoy him saying bigger than watergate because that was throwing it back at everybody saying collusion was bigger than watergate thats like saying just say no while smoking a joint. Its like mock everybody nor past two years. The media has to play this down because theyve been wrong for three years and chasing the wrong story. Theyre like the reverse columbo so theyll shout about mccann and mueller because they cant admit for so long they were chasing the wrong. Its like a great episode of law and order you know like theres always a surprise twist and
Racist and not condemn them and neonazis and compare them to people who were genuinely decent americans coming forward and saying stop this. I just it was like i dont remember that ever happening in an administration before in well over a hundred years. Decency, honor, including everyone. We would all like to think thats who we are. But is it really . I want you to compare that to what we heard from the president of the United States today defending one of the worst moments of his presidency when White Supremacists and neonazis overran charlottesville. Jews will die, replace us. Jews will die, replace us. And when Heather Heyer was murdered. Very fine people on both sides. Ive answered that question. If you look at what i said you will see that that question was answered perfectly. And i was talking about people that went because they felt very strongly about the monument to robert e. Lee, a great general, whether you like it or not he was one of the great generals. Ive spoken to many
Information on a political opponent. I think i would listen. Theres nothing wrong with listening. If somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent, i think i would want to hear it. You want that kind of interference in our l elections. Not interference. They have information. I think id take it. Paul the president told fox he would report it to Law Enforcement if he thought the information was, quote, incorrect, or badly stated. Lets bring in wall street journal columnist, Dan Henninger and ki kim strassel and bill mcgern. What do you make of the president s statements . It was something he should not have said. We dont like foreign governments meddling in our elections. What the russians did with the bots and websites and all of that was not a good thing. So that was a mistake. But i wouldnt build it into a mownen the, i think it mountain, i think it was more or less a double dribble. The president has to understand hes in reelection mode. Every time he
Coming at him from 20 different directions. Here is a sample. His taxes, a powerful House Committee chairman has issued a subpoena for President Trumps tax returns. If nothing happensth in a couple days, the speaker of the house could get involved. The attorney general voting to recommend that congress hold him in contempt over the release of the full mueller report. It may come up with contempt charges for other Administration Officials this week. And issue them all at once in a package. What about Robert Mueller . Will he ever testify before congress . Yes, not this week, but they are working on a date. President trump either doesnt want mueller to testify or doesnt care. His position on the subject has changed several times. Look at all of these democrat led investigations. You have to read quickly, there are at least 20 of them. And the white house is actively resisting on every single one. Jeremy diamond is at the white house. Jeremy, a lot of things on the president s plate, all
Graduation. But he was a popular target of fellow democrats who did take the stage. Listen. Were not going to win by playing it safe. Or promising a return to normal. We are where we are because normal broke. There are people who are ready for big structural change in this country. I understand that there are some well intentioned democrats and candidates who believe that the best way forward is a middle ground strategy that antagonizes no one, that stands up to nobody, and that changes nothing. In my view, that approach is not just bad public policy, but it is a failed political strategy. All right. Cnns jeff zeleny is back in his second home, des moines, iowa, this morning. I was just thinking this morning, this is literally the best Birthday Gift imaginably for a political reporter like you. Happy boilirthday. What are you hearing on the ground . So many candidates are there. Joe biden is not. How is his frontrunner strategy were seeing play out, how is it going over right now . Suc
