David Gregory: “The President Has Demonstrated Over And Over Again He Will Do Whatever He Can Do To Undermine The Investigation Short Of Firing Mueller. The Game Is Not Over Yet.” DAVID GREGORY: “The president has demonstrated over and over again he will do whatever he can do to undermine the investigation short of firing Mueller. The game is not over yet. He fired Jim Comey because he did not like how he was handling the investigation, and he deliberately brought on a new attorney general that had been outspoken in his criticism of this investigation and he is now making it clear that in his opinion the special prosecutor is pressuring people to lie and to flip against him. He’s been engaged in a political attack on this investigation from the very beginning and now it’s not just a message to manafort but others out there, whether it’s Flynn, whether it’s Michael Cohen, that if you can stay strong, obviously, Flynn already cooperated, that he may come to the rescue.” [New Day, CNN, 11/29/18; Video]

David Gregory: “Whatever, The Conclusion Of The Investigation, The Stunning Disregard Of How To Behave As A Presidential Candidate Is What Leaps Off The Page When You Look At This History.” DAVID GREGORY: “The fact there was this flirtation with Russia that was very open, that the president was talking about it on the campaign trail and there was nobody around the president to say how incredibly inappropriate it would be to get opposition research from a foreign government, to say nothing that, in fact, it would come from Putin’s Russia is astonishing. Whatever, the conclusion of the investigation, the stunning disregard of how to behave as a presidential candidate is what leaps off the page when you look at this history.” [New Day, CNN, 11/29/18; Video]John Berman: “President Trump Waking Up And Going To Sleep With The Same Thing On His Mind, The Mueller Investigation.”JOHN BERMAN: “President Trump waking up and going to sleep with the same thing on his mind, the Mueller investigation. In an interview with the New York Post, the president dangled a pardon for his jailed former campaign chair, Paul Manafort, saying it was never discussed but I wouldn’t take it off the table. Why would I take it off the table? Manafort was convicted of eight felonies, pleaded guilty to two others but the president has cast Manafort and other targets of the Mueller probe as victims of prosecutorial abuse, calling them brave for not flipping.” [New Day, CNN, 11/29/18; Video]

The president used that key phrase to the best of my recollection. That’s something lawyers often advise their clients to use because it makes it very difficult to prove you intentionally lied or committed perjury.” [CBS This Morning, CBS, 11/29/18; Video]
