Kennedy because john kennedys muscle. he likes the idea that eric holder was barack obamas muscle, the idea of having a roy kohn. and he got it with barr. to this moment as we sit here, the most naked gra tee tuesday and successful act of raw thugs political power in the whole span of the frud was what bill barr did over the mueller report. this was a breath taking thing where he just decided im going to -- i have no concern for institutional parameters or restraints, im going to act as a politi...

Whoever the attorney general is should be his roy kohn. he said i need my roy kohn, he said that is the role that eric holder played for barack obama, he has said that is the role that rfk played for jfk. so it is truly something that he believes. and it is clear from the ukraine transcript that he does believe he has that in bill barr. people around the attorney general say that that is not true, that is the presidents perception. but clearly president trump is willing to express that perceptio...

Matter what bill war oig thinks of this investigation he just wants to know whether it was lawfully predicated. and it is clear that the president himself sees this very differently, as almost a settling of scores, a way to clear his name and also he believes that bill barr is kind of his guy, almost a personal lawyer as we saw in the ukraine transcript. and that is something that i think the justice department has tried to distance itself from. >> and explain that. you write that this underscor...

Everything possible to engineer the shifting of this narrative so thats a roy kohn approach. so when you earlier had a guest or you yourself might have said there are 1,000 times where he says no collusion, no obstruction, thats his method, is say it over and over and over again, because if you do, people will start to believe it no matter how preposterous it is. >> what does tweak the complicit mean? >> tweak the complicit is you gin up your base by playing to their emotions and getting them to...

Right here. right now. humira. president trump very much on the defense this morning after reaching a trade deal with mexico on immigration. the president has been trying to explain the reasons he threatened to impose tariffs. >> i spoke with the president of mexico. i get along with limb very well. we made this deal, but this is very -- this is something the u.s. has been trying to get for over 20 years with mexico. theyve never been able to do it. as soon as i put tariffs on the table, it wa...

Presidents roy kohn, as the president has always wanted. the inspector general of the department of justice and others are looking into the origins and muellers report graphically and powerfully describes how the fbi and the intelligence community began the investigation of russian meddling. this whole attorney general inquiry seems more like a political stunt and a weaponization, politically, of the department of justice machinery. >> but the u.s. attorney from connecticut, your home state, joh...

Wont get everything we want. because i dont think trump would have named barr without some reason to believe he would appoint someone who would cover for him. he wanted to have roy kohn at justice. thats an awful thing to think about. he wanted someone like that. he wanted someone that would be in his corner. i think i saw that bill barr recently visited the white house, in like the last day or two, and that was probably a bit unusual. hes got a chance to be elliott richardson, one of the good g...

His life, and that was all the favors and business relationship he had with joseph wexelbaum, a major international cocaine trafficker donald did favors for. >> there was also -- there have also been allegations about connections between donald trump, the trump organization and various figures associated with mob families in the construction business. >> right, exactly right. when donald was building trump tower, he was able to use non-union, illegal immigrants from poland to tear down the old b...

>> maya wylie, let me take the other side of the argument and that is for a republican aging nominee of donald trump, this man today really did try to stake his claim to independence, and he went out of his way to say the right things regarding the integrity of the investigation. r if youre donald trump, who has wistfully spoken of where is my roy kohn, might this be a case of watch what you wish for. youre nodding. >> i keep going back to why does william barr want this job, and i think hes get...

Say the right things regarding the integrity of the investigation. if youre donald trump, who has wistfully spoken of where is my roy kohn, might this be a case of watch what you wish for. youre nodding. >> i keep going back to why does william barr want this job, and i think hes getting those questions today. its an incredibly powerful and important position, and who wouldnt want to be the nations top lawyer. and hes been the nations top lawyer for a sitting president, and he has seen trumps be...
