"smerconish" starts right now. ♪ i'm michael smerconish in philadelphia. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. cnn reporting exclusively that president trump has begun informally preparing for a possible interview with special counsel robert mueller. though he has been told he's not a target should he find that reassuring? meanwhile, james comey embarking on a highly anticipated

bookstore but might he endanger the probe by publishing before mueller is finished? plus, the cosby show returns to the pennsylvania courtroom monday, a retrial of his assault charges with the judge allowing additional women to testify. will the new jury reach a verdict? and in addition to weaning adults off tobacco, the latest e-cigarettes are introducing kids to nicotine highs. and they're bragging about it online. is there any way to stub out this trend? plus inside a new movie about the night that everything changed for teddy kennedy's political career. the chappaquiddick car crash that left a young female worker dead. but first, the trump administration imposed sanctions on 17 top government officials as punishment for meddling in the election.

and these headlines followed a story earlier in the week in "the washington post" under this banner -- mueller told trump's attorneys the president remains under investigation but not a criminal target. in the lead of that story, it says special special counsel robert s. mueller said that he's continuing to investigate the president but does not consider him a criminal target at this point. according to three familiar with the discussions. let's game out what this means. first of all, last month, if the white house had thought this was great news i don't think it would have taken a month to leak out. after all the president has had no reluctance to tweet criticism of the fbi while touting no collusion. so you might expect high fiving and celebrating upon hearing the news that the president is not a target. but instead it was greeted with radio silence.

and only a later leak put the news in "the washington post." and second, and in a more important big picture sense, it suggests to me that the real outcome of the mueller probe might rest with the midterm election. and that's because when mueller is finished his work, he'll give a report to deputy a.g. rosenstein who's overseeing the probe given the recusal of a.g. jeff sessions and rosenstein will determine if it is made public and shared with the congress. it's likely the report sees the light of public day because that might be reminiscent of when comey in july of 2016 made public comments on the probe of hillary clinton's private e-mail server. >> although we did not find clear evidence that secretary clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive highly classified information.

>> if the result of the mueller probe is similarly critical of president trump, where many legal scholars believe a sitting president cannot be indicted the ball will be in the court of congress and what congress will do would surely depend on who controls it at the time. remember, democrats need to pick up 23 seats to take control of the house of representatives. on friday, the cook political report, well respected for the prognostication moved 13 races in the democrats' favor, meaning that 50 republican held seats are rated as competitive and five democratic seats are seen in that way. that matters because impeachment for treason requires a majority vote in the house which is tantamount to an indictment in which case there'd be a trial in the senate where the chief justice presides and a two-third vote requires. here's the point, unless there's

a major revation in the report that mueller gives to rosenstein, it will never get to the senate, unless democrats control the house. "the post" reported that mueller's team is considering releasing the findings in staging starting with obstruction so the precise timing of the mueller report is key. so too could be the outcome of the midterm elections because unless democrats take the house, then this whole process will end with mueller's report. that's the net impact of "the washington post" revelation that the president is a subject, not a target in the current probe. timing could be everything. now, james comey, the former fbi director who president trump famously fired last may 9 is about to public a new book "a higher loyalty, truth, lies and leadership." the promotional copy touts the fact that comey has been quote involved in some of the most consequential cases and policies of recent history, including

overseeing the hillary clinton e-mail investigation as well as ties between the trump campaign and russia. comey is embarking on a major media blitz including here at cnn but might it have a disruptive impact on the mueller probe which has been proceeding methodically and in near secrecy? joining me is james gagliano, and cnn law enforcement analyst, he wrote a piece for the hill called comey's book tour is a colossal mistake. why? >> well, first of all, let's long at this in the context of history. it's not unprecedented that fbi directors write books. if you go back as far as the mid '50s, hoover wrote a book called "masters of deceit" about the kremlin trying to meddle in our elections here. let's go back to fifth director, louis freeh, he wrote a book called "my fbi."

and he touched upon the misgivings he had with the president he served under, president clinton. what i think about the current book that's coming out and the former directors which was the seventh fbi director comey is this. he has become a darling of the resistance. half of the country fervently believes that when he comes out with this book there's going to be evidence that leads to the president's indictment or impeachment hearings. there are two major probes going on right now. the russia probe and with the findings not being released yet, james comey is putting himself into the perjury trap position. he'll be talking about things, meaning talks with the president, on the phone or in person, and he'll set himself up to purposely or unwittingly saying something that neat consistent with what he's going to have told the special

prosecutor. then we await the a.g.'s report. the department of justice is being scrutinized by horowitz. i think that the timing is the issue, not that he does not have a right to write a book. of course he does. he's an american citizen now. he's not in public service anymore. it's just the timing. >> okay. when you speak of a potential perjury trap, are you worried about comey's reputation, the bure bureau's reputation, or both? >> yes. when james comey was fired on may 9th of last year, i came on cnn on may 10th and i talked about it. i lauded comey for his probity. reputation. and i contrasted him with the president and some of the issues of moral turpitude that surrounded the current president. i also lambasted the president for the very -- i'll give him the benefit of the doubt ham handed but something more

nefarious there. he sent keith schiller to fbi headquarters with a letter for termination, james comey finds out about it in l.a. while he's talking to the employees of the l.a. office. that was a bad look and no public servant should have been treated that way. but more things have come to light. i initially defended comey for the july 5th press conference, where essentially he exonerated hillary clinton. he took it from gross negligence and he made a decision that should have been handled at doj. when the meeting happened on the tarmac between loretta lynch the attorney general and former president clinton the golf and grandkids discussion you could say that comey was put in a box and had what to do that. he should have punted the ball back over to the doj and given that to sally yates. she had great reputation as a

deputy attorney general and the decision should have been made there. not by the fbi. this is going to -- comey's reputation. >> here's what i think you're saying. big picture sense, i think james gagliano is saying that comey is playing into the perception of some that this whole process has been politicized. is that fair to say? >> michael, absolutely. i think you just said it very succinctly right there. i don't think that comey is bad man. i served under four of the only eight fbi directors in the 110-year history of the fbi. i enjoyed serving under him. i think this is a bad decision and the twitter battle with the current president is bad look. i won't look good for him or the fbi. >> one last thing. if you want to see him in chicago, put this up on the screen, katherine. for the book rollout, it's going to set you back $1,000. is there something unseemly about the idea that the fbi director while the mueller probe is going on is out there selling a lot of books and people are

paying for this like they're front row tickets to u2? >> i believe in free markets and capitalism. i won't tell him he doesn't have a right to earn a living, but not now. >> not now. i got it. okay. james, thank you, i appreciate you being here. >> thanks for having me, michael. i want to know what you think. go to my website, it's smerconish.com and answer this question right now. is it appropriate for james comey to publish a memoir before the mueller probe is completed? i'll give you the results later this hour. up ahead, e-cigarettes were supposed to wean adults off the real thing. well, the latest version is getting kids hooked on nicotine before they hit their teens. and this new generation is vaping everywhere, and telling their tales about it on youtube. this guy is about to be here. watch. >> i hear them say to the principal, we have a few kids vaping in there, in the bathroom. you can't say i'm vaping or

e-cigarettes were supposed

to be an another alternative for adults to kick the habit but they're introducing a young generation to possible nicotine addiction as early as middle school. since 2011, e-cigarette use among high school students has increased 900%. and that's accelerating thanks to the easily hidden devices. the most popular one is called the juul, and it can be concealed in a closed fist. they emit so little smoke that some students are even vaping in class and e-cigarettes are too new for researchers to understand the long term health effects. students caught with the devices are getting in trouble because in some schools they're considered the same as marijuana paraphernalia. yet, the internet abounds with kids sharing tales of suspensions including my next guest. a sophomore from outside of pittsburgh. his video has over 600,000 views. >> hey, guys.

i got suspended. everyone in my school juuls and you get super buzzed off of it. >> joining me is kyler kristopaitis. i think that for being here. when did you first start vaping? >> i started when i was 12 because my friend was doing it. >> and how prevalent -- i mean, are you the outlier or is that common? how prevalent is it among your friends? >> it's really common among my friends. i would say about 90% of them have a juul or some kind of vape. >> what's the attraction? why do you do it? >> people like the head rush, the buzz. they like to do tricks too. >> what do you mean tricks? like smoking tricks? vaping tricks? >> yeah. doing ghost and blowing nose and stuff like that. >> i see. have you vaped in class? >> yeah, i have done that before. >> and how common is vaping in class? >> i mean, it happened on

friday, so -- like i saw it happen. it happens -- >> in one of your classes on friday? >> yeah. >> tell me your suspension story. >> so basically, i was in the bathroom with one of my friends and i was in the stall trying to fix a broken juul. there was a kid who had a vape mod and he was blowing big cloud out in the open and someone snitched on him and the teacher walked in. they saw the juul in my hand so i basically got suspended for just having it. >> right. because the smoke dissipates so quickly, if they don't see the juul chances are you can get away with it? >> yeah. i would have gotten away with it if i had in my pocket. >> understood. >> i would have gotten away with it. >> key question, do you smoke cigarettes? >> no. >> do you have any interest, have you ever smoken -- smoked a cigarette? >> yeah, like one time.

i hated it. >> because i think that the perception among many who are not familiar with vaping is that this is going to be a gateway to cigarette smoking. what's your answer to that? >> it's definitely not because people like vaping better because it doesn't leave a smell or anything. also it tastes better. >> are you nevertheless worried about the health risk because there's a nicotine aspect to vaping? >> honestly, not at all because there's no studies proven that it's doing anything wrong yet. so i don't see a problem with it. >> if there were such studies do you think that it would -- it would take away your desire to vape? >> yeah, definitely. >> is vaping in your opinion a gateway to weed? >> no. >> so what is it that you want adults to know about vaping? here's my perspective, having

read in on the subject. vaping it seems might be a good alternative to adults who smoke because vaping seems to be less hazardous to your health than smoking a cigarette. at the same time that we wean an adult population off of conventional cigarettes we don't want to turn on middle school kids and teenagers generally to vaping. >> yeah, well, i think it would be better for middle schoolers to be smoking -- i mean, using vapes than smoking cigarettes. that's my opinion because vaping is better for you. and it's like with the studies now it's almost definitely true that vaping is definitely better for you. >> okay, but obviously better for you. now i'm going to speak like your father as if you're one of my sons. obviously, better for you is not doing any of the above. you get that, i'm sure you hear that from your own parents, right? >> aye. >> what do they say? >> they don't like me doing it. especially my mom because she

like is getting tested for lung cancer because she smoked cigarettes before when she was younger. >> but you don't listen to that advice. how come? >> because i don't really see like -- because she was smoking cigarettes, she wasn't vaping. i think vaping doesn't cause cancer. >> the punishment that you received for your vaping incident, how long was it and was it the same as if you had cigarettes or the same as if you had pot? >> i got a three day in school suspension so basically for three days i spent my entire day at school in one room doing basically nothing unless one of my teachers brought work done which most didn't. so i sat in the room and looked at the wall all day. that's the same punishment for cigarettes. if you bring weed to school you get expelled. >> don't smoke or vape. let's see what you're saying on

the facebook and twitter pages. my son's high school this week took the doors off the bathrooms because vaping has become such a problem. rita marie, you're conversant in the subject. take a look at a juul. it used to be you saw a pack of cigarettes with a son or a daughter you knew what they were up to. now not so simple. give me another one. smerconish, why stamp out vaping, it's far less harmful than smoking and is an effective aid in quitting cigarettes. that's actually not my today. i think that vaping is a positive development. for adults who have a nicotine habit. because i think that the science agrees with the idea that they'd be better vaping than smoking a conventional cigarette. here's the conundrum for policymakers. how do we allow the weaning off of conventional cigarettes via vaping for adults, but at the

same time, not turn on a whole generation of young americans to vaping? comedian bill cosby returns to court for a retrial but it will be significantly different than the first one which ended in a mistrial ten months ago after the jury deadlocked? ted kennedy's presidential hopes were dashed after the infamous incident when a female campaign worker drowned in his car. a new movie "chappaquiddick" examines what happened that fateful night in july of 1969. >> we have a body. dead body holds a lot of secrets. that's the difference between guilt and innocence. >> not a lot of senators that are charged with manslaughter that go on to become president. trade ya. okay, people, that's a reset. let's take it back from "supri--" (avo) get up to 50% off our best phones. because unlimited is only as good as the network it's on. a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot.

but why go back there, when you can stay home, with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro.

and a new movie revisits the controversy. senator ted kennedy drove his car off a bridge in massachusetts and escaped to swim to shore. but a 28-year-old former rfk campaign worker, mary joe kopechne died in the car. today he would be ousted but it was a different time and he ended up being a senator. still the scandal did forever tarnish him, preventing him from ever being a serious presidential candidate able to continue his brother's legacy. a new movie, "chappaquiddick," dives deep into that night. >> it was an accident. i was driving. >> a story like this could dominate the headlines for week. >> but we have a body. >> dead body holds a lot of secrets. that's the difference between guilt and innocence. >> joining me now is producer

mark ciardi. i retraced the route that ted kennedy took that night. he comes out of a house party, makes a right, go to the "t" intersection. roll the movie that shows what i'm describing. the edgartown ferry is to the left. the beach to the right. there it is. there's the sign. he goes to the beach. there's only one reason he's going to the beach. right? >> well, you know, you can only speculate really what his intentions were. we didn't go into the salacious facts of a lot of the whispers and rumors that were around, you know, their relationship. we tried to tell the facts. he did take that right turn, went down dike road, a dark road and hit that bridge on an angle and the car went in. >> he denied infidelity. what got him in trouble is not so much the accident. it's the fact that he then went

back to edgartown, went to bed, went to brunch the next morning without ever having reported the accident. true? >> yes, that's what happened. you know? the writers used the inquest as their source material and, you know, once you added up all those things for the -- you know, from the time the accident happened, it's quite an indictment on his choices that evening and the next morning. >> i have been paying close attention to the reviews. i watched and enjoyed and learned from it. even though i had spent some time reading about chappaquiddick over the years but i find interesting the reviews it is getting. can we put up on the screen the way it's been received in "the post" and that's "the washington post." "chappaquiddick" playing it fair, "the new york times" how "chappaquiddick" distorts the tragedy. "the new york post," "chappaquiddick" is a long overdue dismantling of the kennedy myth. my point is you have really had

to thread a needle here. i thought this was a pretty balanced presentation. but speak to the political dynamics of releasing this movie at this time. >> you know, when we first got this script, it was 2015 and, you know, we didn't think too much of today's political climate. it just became relevant with everything going on in the past eight or nine months so it caught up to the moment in time. it had just become a little more important it seems. i think we're holding our leaders to the higher standard and, you know, kind of abuse of power. so all those things i think, you know, become more relevant right now. >> the movie made me appreciate that perhaps one of the reasons why ted kennedy was able to weather the storm, he never became president but weather the storm and continue to go back to the u.s. senate is because these events coincided with the moon landing which was quite a

remembrance of his brother's legacy. do you think that that's one of the factors that played a role here in his politically surviving? >> yeah, probably the greatest achievement in the 20th century gave great cover to what happened at chappaquiddick. without that he would have been on the front page of every newspaper for weeks and weeks and it was an interesting juxtaposition to have the president's greatest achievement and his brother's fail sglig saw an -- i saw an interview for the woman who is playing mary joe kopechne, she was explaining when she was first presented with the project she didn't know about the chappaquiddick incident. there's a whole group out there who haven't heard of it before. >> yeah, the writers had never heard of the word. i think they heard it on the

bill maher show and so they started to do some research. it was incredible what they found and they downloaded the inquest and, you know, that narrative of the week that we examine is really interesting. and it's historical and the movie is a thriller more than anything. but, you know, it's a piece of american history that, you know, you look at now and it's incredible. especially with the moon landing. >> it's been a couple of years since i was on chappy and i did my sleuthing on a bicycle. but what was remarkable to me then is that dike bridge now had guardrails. but nothing else had really changed between the scene of the accident and the house where the house party had taken place and what stood out to me and i'll just get your reaction to this, are the number of houses that he would have had to pass that night after he gets out of the water and before he eventually goes to edgartown. a lot of doors he could have knocked on for help. >> yeah, i think that's a lot of the criticism with what happened

that night. you know, he passed -- we actually shot the real bridge when you see in the movie the fisherman and the son find the car in the morning. we watched this young boy go from that bridge to the dike house a hundred yards away at the most and the light was on that evening and he walked past that and several other houses. i think in a lot of ways that's the -- that's -- his actions you know of not, you know, not knocking on the door and lighting the island up and trying to attempt to rescue, you know, with the authorities was the -- you know, the thing -- i think that's where the criticism comes. >> i thought it was a balanced presentation an entertaining and for what it's worth, that's my rotten tomatoes review. >> it was great to see the reviews. you got it. timely reminder, the latest episode of cnn's original series of american dynasties, the kennedy, the legend of camelot premieres tomorrow night at 9:00

the second bill cosby trial begins monday at what is my home county courthouse, norristown, montgomery county, pennsylvania. a jury is being selected. the first of course ended in a mistrial ten months ago after jurors deadlocked. last time cosby did not take the stand in his own behalf. something he revealed exclusively to me before that trial began. don't you want to testify and tell your story? >> no. >> why not? >> i just don't want to sit there and have to figure out what i believe is the truthful

answer as to whether or not i'm opening a can of something that i -- my lawyers are scrambling. >> the new trial however will not be a rerun. a great deal has changed. not the least of which is the climate. six months ago this week "the new york times" published the expose on harvey weinstein ushering in the era of #me too. joining me now, two veteran journalists who are covering the case. nicki weisensee egan of the daily beast. she has been covering this case for 13 years and manuel roig-franzia who was in the courtroom for first round. a jury has been seated but on friday the defense side we already want to remove one of the jurors. how come? >> what happened is one of the jurors came forward and said they overheard one of the jurors got picked say he thought that cosby was guilty. so she made sure that the

defense knew about that. >> on monday, last monday for jury selection the judge in the case asked the 120 prospective jurors who showed up how many of you have already formed an opinion, 68 said they had. tuesday, same question to 119. 83 said they had. it's been difficult to find folks who don't already have a firm view of the case. >> that's true. so for the third panel hay asked again and it was a -- they asked again and it was a high number as well and they asked if they had a fixed opinion to the case to try to exclude them. they have had a hard time with them as well as finding ones that haven't heard of me too. >> manuel, you would think it's a difficult climate for bill cosby or any similarly situated defendant to go on trial in the midst of the me too movement. >> yeah. the defense they have mentioned it in court filings, they have

said it to the court to the judge. it is on their mind that #me too is hovering over the case. >> in this go round, five women might testify and say literally me too. in the first case there was only one. respond to that issue. >> huge change. really a sea change between the first trial and the retrial. the judge really laid down a marker in that first case that he wasn't going to allow the prosecution to delve too deeply into the past. this time around, he shifted significantly, five other women now will be testifying. these allegations go from the '80s to the '90s. you have to wonder how a juror will look at this. will they be able to say, oh, i don't believe andrea constand the main accuser but i believe these other women.

how do they reconcile that? it's a key element of this retrial. >> so that was a big break for the prosecution, pretrial. but a break for the defense is that a woman will testify who will say presumably that andrea constand made this up. explain. >> right. they have a woman from temple university who claims andrea said she was going to set up a high profile person. a woman named marguerite jackson. however, we don't know if she actually will testify. the defense could just be floating that to the media to get some headlines out there. and in her own statement she actually contradicts herself in that statement saying at first andrea told her something had happened to her. and then later made the other statement. so there are some problems with this witness. >> so before the last trial began i asked bill cosby what he made of the sheer number of women who made allegations about him. here's the way he handled that question. >> what do you say to the person who puts credence in the charges

against you because of the number of women who have come out and said the similar thing? >> i think that the numbers came because the numbers prior to the numbers didn't work. >> are you telling me that they're all lying? >> you know better than that. >> presumably i should have known better than that because if he said they were lying he'd be on the receiving end of defamation litigation right now. we don't know if cosby will take the stand in this go round on his own behalf. but manuwe know he has a new la so who is tom mess row? >> he's best known for winning

an acquittal for michael jackson, someone who you might be able to say is as famous or even more famous than bill cosby. this guy mesereau, the attorney, has a real courtroom presence and a physical presence. he has this beautiful white hair, long hair, and he has a calm commanding demeanor in the courtroom. it will be fascinating to see him navigate this case. he is someone who you cannot take your eyes off when you're inside the courtroom. >> another change is that the jury in this instance is going to learn of the amount that andrea constand was paid to settle the civil litigation. >> right. exactly. in the first trial they couldn't agree each side on what to include from the civil suit so it wasn't mentioned at all. this time they can mention the amount she got. it can cut both ways though. if it's a large amount it could show he really did believe, you know, there was something to the

charges against him so he paid her. but it also helps the defense paint her as this person who just wanted to get money out of a high profile person. >> so a quick final question for each of you. this is going to be a significantly different trial because of the rulings that have been made in anticipation of the beginning on monday. who has benefited? which side benefited from the different structuring and/or climate of this case? nicki weisensee egan, i ask you first. >> i think both sides have and i think it's, you know, it's too early to tell who is going to prevail in this case. i think both got some favorable rulings. there's still a couple of outstandings ones about whether the quaalude testimony can be admitted and so i think that it's still a close call. i don't think we know what's going to happen. >> do you think that one side has benefited more than the other in the pretrial determinations? >> if you had asked me this question just a couple of weeks

ago i would have -- without hesitation i would have said that the prosecution had the upper hand. they had gotten the five previous accusers in. that was a big, big win but the defense goes in with quite a bit of momentum right now. these rulings that they have gotten in the final days and now really pressing the issue by asking for this juror to be removed, they have a little bit of momentum going and, you know, both sides are going to be able to credibly say that they're ready to go into this case feeling like they can win it. >> manuel, nicki, thank you so much for being here. it all begins on monday. >> pleasure. >> thank you. still to come your best and worst tweets and facebook comments like this one. bill cosby is a done deal. this time the climate has changed with the #me too movement and time's up. he'll probably be punished for the foolishness this time. you know, arlene, when i heard

that 68 of the 120 prospective jurors on monday and then 83 of the 119 on tuesday said they had a firm opinion in the case and by the way they were dismissed, they will not be included in the jury box come monday, i came to the similar conclusion. i wondered can he get a fair shake in this climate? you say it's his foolishness. i'm going to wait for a factual determination by the jury. but anecdotically some were saying they thought this was all a set-up because of the climate. so maybe it cuts both ways. we have to see. we're about to give you the final results of the survey question. here it is. you can quickly go to smerconish.com. is it appropriate for comey to publish a memoir before the mueller probe is completed? results in a second. [ horn honking ] [ engine revving ] what's that, girl? [ engine revving ] flo needs help?! [ engine revving ] take me to her! ♪ coming, flo! why aren't we taking roads?!

flo. [ horn honking ] -oh. you made it. do you have change for a dollar? -this was the emergency? [ engine revving ] yes, i was busy! -24-hour roadside assistance. from america's number-one motorcycle insurer. -you know, i think you're my best friend. you don't have to say i'm your best friend. that's okay.

all right. let's do this. time to see how you voted at smerconish.com on this question. is it appropriate for james comey to publish a memoir before the mueller probe is completed? we had how many votes cast? 10,516. interesting. 53% said no. is it appropriate? no, it's not appropriate. james galliano, who made that case at the outset of the program, will be ecstatic with that result. although pretty close. 53-47. wa else has come in during the course of the program? let's see what your social media reaction has been. comey's just striking while the iron is hot. i mean, robert, i get that he has a version of events that is at odds with that of the president of the united states and he wants to put it out.

i think that james galliano had a pretty good point in saying, you know, why not keep your powder dry because this might influence then the reaction to the mueller probe before we've yet seen mueller's report. what else has come in? "comey's timing helped destroy hillary rodham clinton's chances. badding again. wait until mueller is done." well, it could have a similar impact, and i guess that's your point, on the trump campaign. i'm wondering if mueller will learn from comey's example of voicing an opinion in the way he did in the midst of the hillary campaign. better to just put in a report and give it to rosenstein. one more. real quick. here it is. future chappaquiddick will no longer disqualify a presidential candidate thanks to trump. you though, donna, it was not the infidelity that got him in trouble. it was the lack of a report over nine or ten hours, this was inexcusable. you can catch up with us at animal any time at cnn go and on demand. we'll see you next week.
