Continuously, so relentlessly and so unconsciousinably attacked presidential institutions by name, individual reporters by name. you recall when he mocked the reporter for "the new york times" with physical disabilities. this has been unrelenting. what hes counting on is he can intimidate the press. and by the way, not so much individual reporters. he wants to intimidate the corporate leaders of large corporations that control most of the major national distribution. and thats his game. its two ...

Was that flynn may be discussing a plea with the especial counsel. as lawyers, you and i both note the use of the double negative and whether this was expected or not. issue is not who was expecting what, the issue is whether mike flynn, national security adviser, a high level post, has information that bob mueller believes is credible about crimes committed by other people at least equal if not higher level. >> the president and his team took a lot of steps to keep mike flynn in the fold. repea...

Keep people in the fold in some way. he spent a lot of time reaching out to people like reince priebus, steve bannon. hes reached out to a lot of people. once they leave. because he likes to think hes keeping the door open. i think the stakes are very different this time. >> when he was talking to comey and no small irony, thats why there is a special counsel because of what he did to comey and said to flynn in that process about comey, he was very positive about flynn. >> thats right. >> your t...

Changeable? >> i think they are soft. donald trump has a three fold strategy here. number one, convince people the women are lying. number two, hes arguing hes going to play the card, and watch how this play out, that the democrats are hip krts. why should we hold roy moore to a high standard it if the democrats dont hold bill clinton, al franken to a high standard. and number three, hes trying to make this a red, blue, binary choice. that this is not about these allegations. its about abortion,...

Help roy moore if donald trump went to alabama and campaigned for him. he clearly has lost support, especially among women. and donald trump may help bring some of those republican women perhaps back in the fold. i think your ears were tuned exactly to what i was listening to, too, it almost seemed like a plea, if not an indication, for the moore campaign folks asking donald trump to come down. because they understand their connection between their voters and those core trump-based voters. wheth...
