seb, great to have you with us.he president says this is the very insurance policy that strzok and page were referencing in those lovers' texts from long ago. he's right, isn't he? >> he's absolutely right, lou. and because of yesterday's disgraceful press conference by robert mueller, we now know that robert mueller is colluding with that plot. i mean, think of just one thing that we learned in that eight-minute press conference. robert mueller, former director of the fbi, actually gave the presumption of innocence to russian military intelligence agents who were trying to penetrate our electoral system. two pages later in his press conference, he denied exactly that presumption of innocence for the president of the united states. he said he turned the whole american judicial system on its head and said that he has not found the evidence to exonerate the president. in the history of our nation if, prosecutors' jobs are not to exonerate people, they're to find evidence of a crime. there was no evidence, there was no
