think about the women in the republican party and the republican party that barbara bush was part of for so long and where it is right now? well, there s just hardly any moderates there. david will tell you what happens if you re moderate, if you even talk to a democrat and what trump did to the bush family when he went after jeb the way he did, so cynically and brutally, was to take a wrecking ball to the history of the republican party and you fellow, you might say barbara, what are your dee credentials for speaking about republicans. i m a lifelong democrat. but my first big campaign i supported a republican named peter bear for the state senate because he was a great environmentalist. we had a different republican party. of course, the bushes were part of that. and it was a big tent. barbara was in one side of the tent, her husband was kind of moving toward the right. but it was very different then.
i wouldn t be surprise fundamental we either see the vice president or first lady attend. that information hasn t been provided. you don t think the president s going to go. is that right? we don t know. it s possible. he s scheduled to be here through the end of this week. no, there are no indications at this time what the white house s plans are, whether the president himself will travel. at this point, it s frankly too early to tell. obviously, there is a great fraternity among past presidents. all the former presidents haven t been in one place together before. remember, the bushes didn t make it to president trump s inauguration. a lot due to the failing health of the senior bush at the time back then. it would be a remarkable scene to see all the presidents gathered together. at this time, we don t know the answer to that. with me now, david jolly from florida. barbara boxer former democratic senator from california. david, your thoughts about barbara bush and the bush fami
conversation. once it became clear there was no question. like many people who have covered the trump organization i think the full the two things we have not yet fully embraced as a country, how evil some of the people they did business with are. the worst of the worst. and it was not some investigation uncovered. and what a small sad pathetic business it was taking crazy risks. michael cohen for the last decade, he was not to top guy at the company but he was along with ivanka and don jr. the main people interfacing with other parts of the world. he knows what trump hichmself
on the cease and desist letter. it makes it seem like it s not a one-time thing. you see a small group of people that go around there s jay who has been representing by the pr guy who represented many of the characters involved in this crisis. you start to get a picture of a sort of new york that these people have access to that trump was a part of and now is at the center of. if you a lawyer ton show that s doing legal work for me i ll let you know that. joyce, my sense is that michael cohen, when you take a step back and sort of process the raid yesterday he is facing very very
but there s got to be what does that look like? there s got to be something that means people when you said dna that means people make decisions. people in the sdny make the decision we re going to be a search warrant on the president s lawyer because that is what our job in the law demands. right now it s embedded in people at all level of the department. if you had an attorney general who decided he wanted to take a different approach and said the president wants this done, i m going to do it, you would see people resign and walk away. but the attorney general could probably do some of it. trump is going to go away some day i hope. one of the questions we ll look back and say kind of like after watergate, are norms enough or do we need to codify some of these structures that prevent interference. do you have faith fundamentally in the judgment and integrity of jeff sessions to uphold the norms we re discussing? i worry a great deal. that s not a yes.
