HENRY: I don't have it in front of me.
Ed Henrys career as a journalist should have ended right there. Asking a question and then having your interview subject expose your ignorance like this is should be a career-ending disgrace.
It wont be, though, because Fox is trying to trade its audience for the one CNN has.
Kristinn Fischer essentially asked the same question yesterday. I was disappointed as I had thought of her as straight down the middle.
She earned her way onto my ‘listen carefully’ list.
How can a “reporter” go on the air without having read the phone call transcript. It’s only a few pages.
The President is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.
His political opponents are reasonably suspected of serious crimes, including bribery and seditious conspiracy.
Investigating them is Trump’s JOB, and if evidence sufficient to charge them is found, it’s his job to see that his government (Barr) asks for indictments and if granted to see that they are prosecuted and if convicted, jailed.
It’s true that a thorough investigation and appropriate responses to it are (potentially) to Trump’s political advantage - but he really doesn’t have the option to fail in his duty, ESPECIALLY because IF he fails in his duty, it’s quite likely that the guilty parties will have him removed from office.
