Trump news on Youtube Oct 4 2018

Contrary to the pricey designer outfit worn for her arrival to Africa, Melania Trump kept it more casual on day two, in a pair of budget-friendly flats

 Melania Trump, 48, is nixing her luxurious designer stilettos in favor of some fast fashion footwear

Zara may be the go-to retailer for millennials ballin' on a budget, but apparently the First Lady has no problem wearing the brand as well

For the second day of her solo trip to Ghana, Melania opted to rock a pair of flats from the affordable brand, in lieu of her pricey pumps

With the shoes retailing at a cool $50, is FLOTUS trying to take on a more practical style?  The budget-friendly fashion choice was made during an appearance to the Cape Coast Castle on West Africa's Gold Coast

Sure, the First Lady may have kept it low-key with her footwear option, but the rest of her ensemble featured a slightly higher price tag

Melania wore a $595 Veronica Beard jacket, which she paired with a pair of fitted J Brand trousers

The best part of all? This was a recycled outfit. Yep, Donald Trump's wife wasn't afraid to revisit a past outfit, first worn back in September of 2017!    It's ironic that Melania was all smiles as she made her appearance at what was once a slave trade side, considering that her husband has shared some pretty controversial thoughts on a number of African countries

You may remember that the president reportedly called Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as a while, "sh*t hole countries" in January of 2018

Despite this, while speaking about her experience on Wednesday, the first lady said she was "very emotional" during her visit to the historic site, and described it as something she would "never forget

" Carolyn Kaster/AP/Shutterstock  One day before, when first arriving to the Ghana on Oct

2, FLOTUS wore a red and white striped Celine dress as she landed. This ensemble however, wasn't quite so affordable

(A similar dress can be found online for $2,300.) She paired the look with white Manolo Blahnik stilettos, that cost approximately $625

Sure, Melania knelt down to tightly hug children who met her at the plane, but with such steep price tag items on her body, maybe, she isn't able to level with Ghana's residents after all

Lindsey Graham Fights Fire With FIRE – Gives Trump a Brilliant Plan if Senate Rejects Kavanaugh - Duration: 2:54.

Lindsey Graham gets it.

He knows the game the Democrats are playing and how we can beat them.

He has a message for President Trump — if we can't pass Kavanaugh now, renominate

him and let the ballot box decide!

WAY TO GO LINDSEY!

Now, that is how you FIGHT!

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., advised President Trump to renominate Brett Kavanaugh as his

pick to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court if his confirmation crumbles in the

Senate under a wave of sexual assault allegations.

Part two of this strategy would be to wait until the 2018 midterm elections to play out

as a de facto referendum, particularly in "Trump states."

"Here's what I would tell the president, I would appeal the verdict of the Senate to

the ballot box," Graham told host Sean Hannity in an interview Monday evening.

This way the American people will have the last say, he emphasized," adding, "I'd

ask voters in Indiana and Missouri and North Dakota and other places where Trump won saying

who he would nominate if he got to be president and see if voters want to appeal the verdict

of their senator."

Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC on if Kavanaugh loses a Senate floor vote: "I would renominate him

and I would take this case to the American people."

Kavanaugh denies all the allegations of sexual misconduct and delivered an emotional defense

of himself to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday after one of his accusers, Christine

Blasey Ford, had a chance to testify.

Graham also offered an impassioned speech that day, casting blame on his Democratic

colleagues for desperately trying to derail the nomination by any means necessary.

"What you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold this seat open, and hope you win

in 2020.

You've said that, not me.

You've got nothing to apologize for," he said.

He echoed those sentiments Monday, arguing that giving up on Kavanaugh would be "legitimizing

the worst tactics I've seen."

"I think we're going to get 50 plus," he added, "but if we fell one vote short,

for the good of the nation I would appeal this to the people of the country and let

them have a say."

After Kavanaugh's nomination advanced past the Judiciary Committee on Friday, momentum

in the confirmation process hit a speed bump when Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and three key

swing lawmakers, Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.,

demanded a supplemental background FBI investigation before a full Senate vote.

Under pressure from members of his own party, President Trump authorized a supplemental

FBI investigation Friday, which is expected to wrap by the end of the week.

However, Democrats are already complaining that the inquiry is too limited in scope,

which prompted Trump to lash out Sunday, tweeting, "For them, it will never be enough — stay

tuned and watch!"

Trump Just Opened The Floodgates For ICE! Shell-Shocked Illegals DID NOT See It Coming - Duration: 6:06.

Immigration policy is one of the most controversial legislative issues that exist in Washington

D.C.

No matter how you slice it, Republicans and Democrats fundamentally disagree.

This is not likely to change anytime soon.

Since President Trump took office, he has made it clear that a comprehensive immigration

policy would be a priority for him.

This has led to the administration's ardent support of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement

(ICE) enforcement.

But, those on the opposite side of the aisle have not agreed with that.

Regardless, ICE has been more effective than ever before.

They are increasing their border patrol statistics as each day passes.

The information speaks for itself.

President Donald Trump's enforcement officials have sharply boosted the repatriation of non-criminal

illegal migrants in the nine months up to July 2018, says the Associated Press news

service.

AP reported the expanded efforts by Trump's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement:

ICE arrests of noncriminals increased 66 percent in the first nine months of the 2018 fiscal

year over the same period a year earlier.

Arrests of convicts, meantime, rose nearly 2 percent.

More noncriminals have also been deported …

The result is immigration courts are filling with defendants like Ruben Moroyoqui, a 45-year-old

mechanic in Tucson, Arizona, whose only run-in with police came last year, his attorney said,

when he was pulled over while picking up auto parts.

First, the officer asked for his license.

His second question, Moroyoqui said, was "Are you here legally?"

He wasn't cited for any driving violation; he was simply handed over to ICE, which began

proceedings to deport him to Mexico.

An appeal is pending.

The arrests are rising partly because ICE is inspecting more employers who hire many

illegal immigrants.

Under President Barack Obama, enforcement officials narrowed their focus to illegal

immigrants who were found guilty of violent crimes.

That strategy required enforcement officials to ignore illegal immigrants they met in routine

operations, and also prompted judges to set aside at least 100,000 deportation cases against

illegals.

However, even Trump's deportation rates are still low given the nation's huge population

of illegal immigrants, which is estimated to include from 11 million to 22 million illegals.

But Trump's extra enforcement is opposed by pro-migration Democrats and by business-first

Republicans.

The political pressure has resulted in Congress opposing Trump's efforts to build the wall

and expand enforcement measures.

For example, Trump's 2019 budget asked for extra funds to hire 3,312 extra ICE officers

and support staff, and to operate 52,000 detention beds.

But the GOP-led House appropriations committee only approved money for 400 additional law

enforcement officers and support staff, and to operate only 44,000 detention beds.

Senators provided even less for Trump's DHS appropriations budget.

The Senate committee's statement said: the bill funds an average daily population

of 40,520 adult and family detention beds, the same as the fiscal year 2018 enacted amount.

The bill rejects the President's request to hire 3,300 new ICE employees to support

his executive order on immigration.

Trump asked for $5 billion to extend the border wall, but the Senate only approved $1.6 billion.

The House DHS bill — prepared by Kansas Rep. Kevin Yoder — also includes provisions

to greatly expand the inflow of temporary workers.

The extra foreign workers are intended to pressure down wages and salaries for blue-collar

and white-collar Americans.

Amid opposition from Congress, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is using his legal authority

as attorney general to reform the border rules and immigration courts, and to send more migrants

home.

Overall, the Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via immigration shifts

wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with cheap white-collar

and blue-collar foreign labor.

That flood of outside labor spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries

for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees.

The policy also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment,

increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids' schools and college education, pushes

Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized

Americans and their families, including many

Melania Trump Wears $50 Zara Loafers With Recycled A Military Style Jacket On Africa Tour In Ghana - Duration: 4:04.

Melania Trump is known for being particular fashion-forward with her style choices - but

on Wednesday the first lady opted for a fashion flashback when she recycled a $595 military

jacket during her trip to Ghana.

The 48-year-old, who is currently on the second official day of her Africa tour, stepped out

wearing a Veronica Beard design that she first modeled back in September 2017 during a trip

to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland with her husband.

Melania was clearly very fond of last year's look, because she paired the jacket with a

near-identical ensemble for her trip to Cape Coast Castle, a former slave trading fort

that is located around 90 miles from the Ghanaian capital of Accra.

Much like she did in 2017, Melania wore the designer item with a pair of cropped khaki

cigarette pants, and snakeskin footwear - however she traded the pricey Manolo Blahnik heels

she wore last year in favor of some budget-friendly $49.95 loafers from Zara.

In fact, the first lady went out of her way to make her outfit look more like last year's

version; for her first outing on Wednesday morning, which saw her paying a visit to local

chiefs in order to get permission to visit the castle, Melania had accessorized the jacket

with a thick leather belt.

However by the time she reached Cape Coast Castle, the mother-of-one had removed the

addition to the look, leaving it free from any accessories, save for her diamond wedding

band.

She was also seen wearing a pair of her favorite Manolo Blahnik heels first thing in the morning

- however she changed out of the sky high pumps and into the low-priced flats by the

time she reached the 17th Century castle, no doubt in order to ensure she could enjoy

the walking tour without worrying about her feet.

Melania did make one change to the look however; having chosen to pop the collar of the jacket

for her visit to the military base last year, the first lady opted to wear it down in a

more conservative style while touring the castle.

While speaking about her experience on Wednesday, the first lady said she was 'very emotional'

during her visit to the historic site, and described it as something she would 'never

forget'.

The castle is one of dozens scattered along Africa's Gold Coast which was originally built

by European traders but then used to house slaves in dungeons before shipping them overseas.

They are characterized by what was referred to as a 'door of no return' - an archway on

the seaboard side of the castle which slaves were forced to walk through to be lowered

onto boats and taken to cargo ships.

Melania, who has so far spent her time in Africa visiting children in schools and hospital

patients, said the castle is 'really something that people should see and experience.'

She added that it was a 'special place'.

Although it happens rarely, this is not the first time that Melania has recycled one of

her fashion favorites.

In August of this year, Melania re-wore a $1,280 striped shirt dress by designer Adam

Lippes, having first stepped out in the number back in March during a visit to Palm Beach's

St. Mary's Medical Center, where she delivered Easter baskets to young children.

The most surprising fashion repeat however was in March 2017, when Melania wore the same

$3,000 Valentino dress two days in a row - first modeling it in the Oval Office, while supporting

her husband as he signed a new bill aimed at encouraging women to pursue careers in

science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

She then donned it again the following day before going to visit a local children's hospital,

where she spent time meeting some of

the patients.

HISTORY MADE! Trump Just Pulled Off The Impossible For America! - Duration: 5:52.

Since President Trump took office he has made it clear one of his top priorities would be

renegotiating the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement, otherwise known as NAFTA.

His goal was to resolve various trade issues that he had previously campaign on.

In the past, while it became a contentious issue both Canada and Mexico, they indicated

they would be open to negotiating with President Trump.

Now, there have been increasingly large and substantial developments on the NAFTA front.

This past week President Trump took part in meetings to finalize the new agreement.

And those plans have now been formalized.

Chicks on the Right reported, "When Trump was running for president, the

media elites constantly lectured us about how he had no idea what he was talking about.

They told us that the promises he was making were unreasonable and he could never accomplish

any of those things.

Flash forward two years and it's abundantly clear that the media couldn't have been

more wrong.

For example, Trump promised that he was going to create jobs, boost the economy, and increase

growth.

The media laughed.

The economy took off.

There are plenty of things you can point to that Trump has accomplished that Democrats

promised us he couldn't.

The latest example is NAFTA.

Trump promised that he was going to renegotiate NAFTA and come up with a trade deal that puts

the American people first.

Many in the media said he could never get that done.

Chalk this one up as yet another example of Trump doing what he said he would do.

We don't see that from many politicians.

He's going to be tough to beat in 2020 especially when you look at the unimpressive bench the

Democrats currently have."

Fox News reported, "President Trump on Monday announced a hard-fought

trade pact with Canada and Mexico meant to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement,

saying the deal would bring a "new dawn" for American auto workers.

"This is a truly extraordinary agreement for the United States, Canada and Mexico,"

Trump said in the Rose Garden, surrounded by his trade-negotiating team.

Trump spoke after it emerged that Canada and Mexico had agreed to a pact the administration

has dubbed the "United States Mexico Canada Agreement," or USMCA.

In a joint statement, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Canadian Foreign Affairs

Minister Chrystia Freeland said the agreement "will strengthen the middle class, and create

good, well-paying jobs and new opportunities for the nearly half billion people who call

North America home.""

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump 9h News conference on the USMCA this morning at 11:00

- Rose Garden of White House.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump.

10h Congratulations to Mexico and Canada!

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump - 10h ....deficiencies and mistakes in NAFTA, greatly opens markets

to our Farmers and Manufacturers, reduces Trade Barriers to the U.S. and will bring

all three Great Nations together in competition with the rest of the world.

The USMCA is a historic transaction!

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump - 10h Late last night our deadline, we reached a wonderful

new Trade Deal with Canada, to be added into the deal already reached with Mexico.

The new name will be The United States Mexico Canada Agreement, or USMCA.

It is a great deal for all three countries, solves the many......

New provisions with the U.S.- Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA) provide for several different

things.

These include labor conditions, digital trade, manufactured products, as well as agriculture

produce just to name a few.

However, one of the most prominent aspects of the USMCA was the inclusion of American

dairy farmers who were given better access to the Canadian market.

As well, new guidelines were imposed that allow for a higher proportion of cars to be

manufactured amongst all three countries instead of being imported from elsewhere.

The dispute resolution system which as previously in place under NAFTA largely remained the

same.

Provisions for automobiles will now allow no tariffs on trucks or cars that have 75

percent of their interior and exterior components that are manufactured in the three countries.

This is an exponential and critical increased from the currently 62.5 percent requirement

that is in place under NAFTA.

In the USMCA the dairy provisions are higher than the ones that Canada had initially agree

to in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

But, the TPP was never ratified.

This will allow the United States to have tariff-free access at 3.6 percent to the Canadian

committee who has been talking

about subpoenas and what

Democrats might do if they win

the election.

Your plan, sir.

>> The most important point is

the one you made that Donald

Trump is a self-made myth.

Not a self-made man.

He is phony through and through.

We would know a lot more about

it had his little Republican

enablers in congress not been

protecting him and covering up

his tax returns so we would have

the information from him that

every prior president for many

years, Republican and Democrat

candidate alike disclosed to the

public.

Last Valentine's day, 2017, I

filed the first motion concerned

about the Russian connection and

how much Russian money might

have been laundered in past

trump deals.

He has some 564 entities that

he's involved with in addition

to his personal returns.

I've filed a number of other,

seven in all, as recently as

last month.

The Republicans have covered up

and blocked every one because

they don't want to look under

that rock and see what they

might see.

In January, if the American

people support a new congress

that will engage in oversight,

not just overlook, then we don't

even need a subpoena.

Under a law that dates back

decades, the ways and means

chairman can simply request from

the treasury department the

trump returns and he, I believe,

will do that, and will get the

returns on those 500 plus

entities.

All the working papers as well

to understand the returns.

Put a staff of cpas to work

looking and digging into those

returns.

Ultimately our committee can

decide to disclose all or a

portion of them.

DOSSIER.

>> YEAH, SO DURING THE

TRANSITION, THE LEADERS OF THE

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TRAVEL UP

TO NEW YORK TO BRIEF

PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP ON RUSSIAN

INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016

ELECTION, THE ELECTION HE HAD

JUST WON.

AND THE PRESIDENT HAS A REAL

PERSPECTIVE ON THIS MOMENT,

WHICH IS THAT HE VIEWS THIS AS A

SHAKE DOWN, A SHAKE DOWN BY THE

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.

THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, OF

COURSE, COMES IN WITH A

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

PERSPECTIVE, WHICH IS WE'VE HAD

THIS UNPRECEDENTED MEDDLING BY A

FOREIGN ADVERSARY IN OUR

DOMESTIC ELECTIONS AND THIS IS

INTELLIGENCE THAT MUST BE SHARED

WITH THE NEW PRESIDENT.

BUT IT REALLY SETS THE TONE.

IT SETS A TONE BECAUSE AFTER

THAT MEETING, AFTER THAT

INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING, DIRECTOR

COMEY STAYS BEHIND TO TALK TO

THE PRESIDENT ABOUT THE STEELE

DOSSIER, WHICH HAD SOME PRETTY

SENSITIVE MATERIAL IN IT.

IT'S A PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE

MOMENT FOR THE PRESIDENT-ELECT

TO HEAR SOME OF THE DETAILS THAT

ARE IN THAT DOCUMENT.

>> YET AT THE SAME TIME, THAT

MOMENT SEEMS TO TAKE WHAT

BECOMES AN AWKWARD CONVERSATION,

LET'S SAY, AND IT BECOMES

SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE, OF

COURSE, AS WE KNOW, JAMES COMEY

ENDS UP LOSING HIS JOB.

>> HE DOES.

I MEAN, ULTIMATELY, THE MESSAGE

THAT THE PRESIDENT RECEIVED, IS

THAT WE, YOUR GOVERNMENT, HAS

SOMETHING ON YOU.

AND IT'S A PRETTY, IT'S A PRETTY

INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE.

AND HE IMMEDIATELY -- THE

PRESIDENT IMMEDIATELY STARTS

SORT OF DEFENDING HIMSELF WHEN

THE INFORMATION IS PRESENTED TO

HIM, SO MUCH SO THAT COMEY

LEAVES THAT MEETING, GOES DOWN

TO HIS SUV, AND STARTS TYPING

MEMOS, CONTEMPORANEOUS NOTES

THAT WE NOW RELY ON FOR AN

ACCOUNT OF THAT MOMENT TO SORT

OF EXPLAIN, HEY, THIS IS HOW THE

PRESIDENT SORT OF RESPONDED TO

THAT BRIEFING.

>> NOW, THERE S ANOTHER VERY

IMPORTANT PLAYER IN ALL OF THIS,

EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN'T MAKE AN

APPEARANCE, SO TO SPEAK, AND

THAT'S ROY COHN.

TELL ME ABOUT WHAT INFLUENCE HE

HAS HAD ON THE PRESIDENT ON THE

MAN DONALD TRUMP.

>> YEAH, SO ROY COHN WAS A SORT

OF NO HOLDS BAR PRETTY

AGGRESSIVE NEW YORK ATTORNEY WHO

BEGINS WORKING WITH DONALD TRUMP

IN THE '70s.

AND THEY DEVELOP A PRETTY,

PRETTY INCREDIBLE CO-DEPENDENCY.

HE WITH HAD WORKED WITH

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FATHER, BUT

HE'S VERY INFLUENTIAL ON THE

YOUNGER TRUMP IN KIND OF THE

FORMATIVE YEAR.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SORT OF LEARNS

HOW TO THROW PUNCHES AND LEARNS

HOW TO RELY ON SORT OF A BULL

DOG LIKE ATTORNEY PRETTY EARLY

IN HIS REAL ESTATE CAREER.

IN MANY WAYS THERE'S LESSONS

HE'S CARRIED THROUGHOUT HIS

ENTIRE LIFE.

>> WHAT IS THINK IS INTERESTING

IS WHERE WE ARE NOW WITH THE

PLAYERS WHO ARE SO IMPORTANT,

ONE OF THEM BEING ROD

ROSENSTEIN, EXCUSE ME.

YOU GET TO REVISIT WHAT ROLE HE

ACTUALLY PLAYED IN THE COMEY

SITUATION.

>> AND THE COMEY FIRING, OF

COURSE.

YOU KNOW, ROD ROSENSTEIN'S MEMO

WAS INITIALLY THE WHITE HOUSE'S

EXPLANATION FOR THE FIRING,

RIGHT?

AND THE FIRING WAS AT THAT TIME

BECAUSE JAMES COMEY HAD BEEN

UNFAIR TO HILLARY CLINTON T

THROUGHOUT THE ELECTION.

BUT EFFECTIVELY ROSENSTEIN, THE

DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL WROTE A

LETTER AND THE PRESIDENT ALLUDE

TODAY THAT LETTER WHY HE WAS

FIRING JAMES COMEY.

>> ANOTHER PERSON WE GET A

BETTER BROADER PICTURE OF IS

ROBERT MUELLER WHO SO MANY

PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

WE KNOW SO VERY LITTLE ABOUT

HIM.

THIS DOCUMENTARY GIVES US AN

UNDERSTANDING OF WHO HE IS AND

KIND OF WHAT MAKES HIM TICK.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

BAD GUYS MAKE HIM TICK.

ULTIMATELY THIS IS A GUY WHO IS

INTERESTED IN PROSECUTING,

INDICTING AND PUTTING AWAY

CRIMINALS, AND HE'S DEVOTED HIS

ENTIRE LIFE TO DOING THIS.

HE'S TESTED THE WATERS OF

PRIVATE PRACTICE, IT WASN'T FOR

HIM.

HE IS VERY MUCH SORT OF A

GOVERNMENT PROSECUTOR, AND HE'S

REALLY WELL RESPECTED IN

WASHINGTON BY BOTH SIDES OF THE

AISLE.

BUT HE'S ATTRACTED A CERTAIN

LEGAL TALENT TO HELP HIM IN THIS

INVESTIGATION THAT'S REALLY KIND

OF A STAR TEAM.

>> YEAH, WHICH I THINK GETS

DESCRIBED AS THE A-TEAM IN THE

DOCUMENTARY.

>> SOMEBODY IN OUR FILM

DESCRIBES IT AS SORT OF THE

SCENE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE

AVENGERS WHEN ALL THE HEROES

COME TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, THESE HEROES JUST

HAPPEN TO BE, YOU KNOW, EXPERTS

IN FORENSIC ACCOUNTING, EXPERTS

IN SORT OF TERRORISM AND

FINANCING, EXPERTS IN ALL THE

THINGS YOU'D NEED TO BUILD A

FINANCIAL CRIMES CASE.

CERTAINLY AN OBSTRUCTION CASE.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE TOP, YOU

KNOW, U.S. PROSECUTORS IN THE

COUNTRY.

SOME ARE FORMER FBI AGENTS AND

THEY HAVE THIS ADMIRATION FOR

ROBERT MUELLER IN A WAY WHICH

THEY LEFT MOST OF THESE

HIGH-PAYING LAW FIRM JOBS TO

JOIN THIS CASE.

>> NOW, OF COURSE, I DO WANT TO

SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PERSON

THE FILM SORT OF COMPARES THEM

TO, "THE AVENGERS" OR SOMETHING

LIKE THAT, TO CALL THEM HEROES

IS A LITTLE PREEMPTIVE BECAUSE,

OF COURSE, WE HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT

THEY'VE DETERMINED.

WE DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW IF ANY

OFFICIAL CHARGES WILL BE FILED

AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OR

ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

>> IT'S INCREDIBLY UNLIKELY.

ROBERT MUELLER IS GOING TO, YOU

KNOW, REMOVE THE PRESIDENT FROM

OFFICE.

IT'S NOT WHERE HIS AMBITION

LIES.

IT'S NOT WHERE HIS ROLE IS.

IN FACT, THE ONLY REAL CENSURE

THAT CAN HAPPEN TO THE PRESIDENT

IS THROUGH EITHER IMPEACHMENT BY

THE SENATE WHICH IS VERY

UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN, A REPUBLICAN

HELD SENATE, OR IF HE DOESN'T

WIN REELECTION.

SO REALLY THE 2018 AND 2020

ELECTION S ARE SO CRITICAL TO

THE NEXT STEPS IN THE RUSSIA

INVESTIGATION, AND THAT

RESPONSIBILITY SORT OF LIES

WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH YOU AND I

AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

WE HAVE I THINK THE GREATEST

IMPACT IN SEEING WHERE THIS

INVESTIGATION GOES.

>> LISTEN, THERE IS SO MUCH

MORE, I COULD TALK TO YOU ABOUT

THIS DOCUMENTARY, OF COURSE.

WE EVEN GET INTO THE REEMERGENCE

OF RUDY GIULIANI IN THE

PRESIDENT'S ORBIT.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE'VE RUN OUT

OF TIME.

SO THE BEST I CAN SUGGEST IS FOR

PEOPLE TO TUNE IN TO "FRONTLINE"

FOR TRUMP'S SHOWDOWN WHICH AIRS 271 00:07:48,401 OCTOBER 2ND AT 9:00 P.M. ON 13.
