he denied it. when the steele dossier was first released in january of 17, michael cohen adamantly denied the allegation he was ever in prague. in fact, he tweeted a paragraph of his passport saying i have never been to prague in my life, fake news. as mcclatchy reports investigators traced evidence that he entered through germany apparently during august or early september of 2016 as the ex-spy reported. he wouldn t have needed a passport for such a trip. both countries operate with open borders. this is this was also at the time the dossier came out. one of the several things used as an effort to undermine the dossier to say look at this. they said he was in prague. that s not true. we can t assume any of this is true. the allegation he was meeting with a russian, that he was there in prague, that substantiates part of the dossier. if there is if mueller has any hint he was meeting with russians there, it s really hard at that point to view you this,
and they don t want reelection. republicans love tax cuts. and we got one. to your point, mitch mcconnell often says winners make policies and go home. correct. so in order to, you know, get policy, the first thing you have to do is win. it s a political necessity. if that s trey gowdy s criticism, i don t know that that really is a criticism. republicans have given up on free trade. they ve given up on moral values. they give up on all the issues that i grew up believing that republicans believe in. i disagreed with them, but i even russia. if you can t get a republican to be against russia, what wait. we just imposed sanctions, new sanctions, additional sanctions on russia today. this whole idea about trade, we ll wait and see what the president really does ultimately on trade. how far can the stock market drop before we find out? you said it today. we re still ahead in the stock market. we might suffer in january of 17, yeah.
lot of things behind the scene? we thought january of 17, then february, march, april. i don t know. we need to get it. it s important. i think there will be some interesting stuff in there, important stuff. but i think the fate of people like peter struck, the anti-trump aagain that talked about preventing trump from being elected, their fates are tied to that ig report. i don t think the fbi or department of justice is going to move to fire them. why are these people still there, i would like to see them moved out, too. once that report hits, that could probably be the factor that leads for them to be terminated. very interesting moment. thanks for your time this evening, we appreciate it. thank you. now we are going to circle back to our previous segment. hopefully you stick with us whether california should secede
they don t just want re-election. republicans love tax cuts especially for the rich. to your point, mitch mcconnell often says winners make policy, losers go home. in order to you know, get policy the first thing you have to do is win. it s political necessity. if that s trey gowdy s criticism, i don t know that that is a criticism. republicans have given up on free trade, moral values. they gave up on all the issues believing in the issues that republicans believed in. even russia. republicans. if you can t get republicans to be against russia you just imposed additional sanctions on russia today. the this whole idea about trade, we ll wait and see what the president does ultimately on trade. how far can the stock market drop before we find out? said it today. we re still ahead in the stock market. we might suffer. january of 17, yeah.
thwarting to stopping this and thwarting it in the future. and russia is a threat to us. and in my view his failure to recognize, for whatever reason, and do anything about it is derelict. what is preventing the president from actually being tough on rather? russia? he could have imposed those sanctions that i mentioned that were passed by congress with bipartisan support, by the way, but his administration refused to do it. the tools are in front of him. and he is not using them. well, i don t know the answer to that. i do know and i saw this when we briefed him in january of 17 on the community intelligence assessment, that anything that is said or done that in any way questions the veracity or the legitimacy of his election, he just can t accept that. so, you know, is it naivete or something else?
