Relations and media, seriously, because they are different discussions. the politics, you have talked about. legally speaking, the problem with the story, honestly, it s accurate, but subject to misinterpretation especially those who aren t well versed in federal criminal investigations. the point is, early on, under tye cobb and the early lawyers, they made a decision to be cooperative and not rely on attorney/client privileges, therefore, mcgahn went in and spoke. the problem is the insinuation or concept he is testifying against the president, he s the next john dean from watergate era, all of that isn t legally the case. however, at the same time, as you just said, you are right, dara, you can get a lot of insight from a lawyer who goes in and is willing to discuss the context of many of the discussions. i think, i just want everybody ....

He didn t, because the white house counsel don mcgahn stayed in the way. the white house has given us a statement from special counsel tye cobb which reads in part that we do not find it to be a coincidence that there is an onslaught of false stories are circulating in what appears to be a coordinated effort to do distract and reflect about already new revelations that have been reported bias and corruption. we continue to cooperate with the special counsel and out of respect for that process, we will not weigh in further. and so now, they are going to be asking this week about the ousted general michael flynn. and now, after allegations ....
It was actually written by his top personal attorney john dowd and dowd is trying to admit something tye cobb wrote on friday. is that customary? do we see them writing tweets often? no. the twitter is spread by the president himself. he gets up in the morning and tweets to his little heart s content including stuff, fake video from anti-muslim extremists. the things he tweets often come straight from him, come straight from his heart. we have been told these things are actually, you know, this is policy. we asked that in the white house press briefing room. we are told what he tweets is policy. he s got a problem and, no, he doesn t often have others tweet for him. it s odd that he would have someone tweet something for him. he takes pride in his tweets while the rest of us cowher and ....
