Frankly the president is the only one who has the power to twist those arms hard enough to get something like this done. but you know, as you know, chuck, this president seems to respond to whatever the last thing is that anybody has told him. when he was sitting there with senators and they are saying well mr. president even if this bill passes the house its never going to become law because we are not going to pass it in the senate. then he says thats ridiculous, why are we even bothering to d...

More em bonded to act on instinct alone. susan del percio, republican strategy and msnbc political analyst joins me mow. look, working in the white house isgrueling. exhaustion is constant. youve seen it. ive seen it. but is this burnout because of constantly moving goal posts for at least if youre exhausting and you say im doing this because, we see a goal and we see a way to get there. now you dont even know what that is? >> working on a policy, or imementation of legislation or something like...

His credibility as a witness against the president. and we also reported with the a.p. today that this new classified briefing, the informant -- the fbi informant who was part of the campaign, who the president of course has deemed a spy, theres going to be a third briefing out for lawmakers next week. giuliani has suggested that the white house legal team wants a redoubt of that. thats what he suggested. today moving those goal posts further, he says, we want to see the documents themselves. >>...

The president wanted him to go out there and muddy the waters, undermine the credibility of those investigating donald trump, whether thats james comey or robert mueller. that he is out there moving and the goal posts of this investigation, making declarations like oh, the special counsel says this will wrap up by september 1st. or the interview will be limited in size and scope. robert mueller hasnt said those things. giuliani has seized upon that idea, theres a vacuum that he can fill. hes pla...

The idea he feels like he can say things about the investigation. he can lay down markers. he can move the goal posts about significant developments, suggesting for instance the special counsel will wrap this up by september 1st, suggesting the special counsel is open to limiting the scope of the possible interview with the president. and he knows he can say these things because the special counsel, as we all know, is working in secret. >> silence. >> thats exactly right. robert mueller is not s...

People on a case so biased or conflicted. its all a democratic excuse for losing the election. the president also wrote, when will people start saying thank you, mr. president, for firing james comey? on wednesday, trump lawyer rudy giuliani called comey a villain and said muellers team was trying hard to frame the president of the united states. jonathan lemire of the associated press spoke to giuliani today and reports the former mayor, quote, has used a media blitz to frequently set and later...

Thats what he suggested. today moving those goal posts further, he says, we want to see the documents themselves. >> if mueller has any chance of interviewing my guy. >> thats right. that seems a pretty unlikely thing to happen, which perhaps is another way of suggesting theyre going to dangle the idea of a presidential interview and just keep pulling it further away, suggesting it may not ever occur. >> hey, peter, i want to read your own words back to you. this is you on twitter this morning. ...

>> he is loving the theater and the drama of this. hes loving the theater and drama of this so much that it makes you worry hes really attending to the substance of it. we have no way of understanding what has happened, why the goal posts have moved. why suddenly its a good idea to meet when it wasnt a week and a half ago or whenever that was. we have no answers for that and it seems more than anything else like donald trump just relishes the theater of this. when were talking about this or when...

The things that we think hes done in the russia investigation, never mind emoluments, never mind compromising american intelligence, of course he should be impeached. democratic leadership decided for what might it be very sound politically or strategically political reasons to take impeachment off the table. theyve decided that this is an issue they dont want to fight on. they have the example of impeachment sort of backfiring on republicans during president clintons administration. but what it...

Have made it a little bit too easy for them because theres no question at least in my mind that trump has done manifold things that are impeachable. if he has done even a third of the things that we think hes done in the russia investigation, never mind emoluments, never mind compromising american intelligence, of course he should be impeached. democratic leadership decided for what might it be very sound politically or strategically political reasons to take impeachment off the table. theyve de...
