Then theres other cases where it overrides all common sense, all of his advice and everybody else and does do it. The big question is, is he going to do it in this case . We dont know what donald trump were fog to get on that particular day. Although his staff does say and his attorneys do say that his tweets, in effect, and his public statements amount to his own testimony so far and you can just read his tweets and read his mind and thats something muler is doing, to see if theres any condemning statements hes made in those tweets. Hes been warned about that for a very long time. The president continues, you know, to tweet. Whether he is saying disparaging things about the process, his own intel community, all of that. How will mueller use these tweets to his advantage . Even if they never get direct q a from the president . Yes, well, the twe

to deeply explain why he voted the way he did to his constituents. and it was smart and in depth. he s a pure libertarian, but he is a smart guy who takes his oath of office seriously. most of his colleagues on the republican side have not. this is kevin mccarthy, clearly the word went out to nuke the guy. this is kevin mccarthy on tv doing just that. take a listen. he votes more with nancy pelosi than he ever votes with me. it s a question whether he s even in our republican conference as a whole. what he wants is attention in this process. he s not a criminal attorney. he s never met mueller. he s never met barr. that s false. but the attention thing is fascinating. what s so striking about what he s doing is there s no political upside to the guy.
a legally contested situation like this is wait until a court can resolve it. i don t think this is going to go the president s way. one reason is they ve waived it. they ve given it away. mcgahn has already talked to mueller. you can go to barnes & noble and buy the report. how can it be privilege? i think there s other infirmities with the argument as well. all right. thank you so much. now to michigan congressman justin amash who is going where none of his fellow capitol hill republicans have gone to date. saying he thinks president trump has displayed behavior that meets the threshold for impeachment. again, he is a republican. amash is known for his more independent streaks said he reached the conclusion after actually reading the mueller report which he says showed multiple examples of actions that could be considered obstruction. amash s bold move sparked a swift backlash from president trump to his colleagues. here is kevin mccarthy.
