So there’s swooning over whether or not or not the president remembered. The yr that his son died and, and subsequently will not be match to be president. It’s simply actually unhappy and beneath the belt and pointless.”
Welker went into Republican speaking factors, “Effectively, simply to be very clear, the report didn’t say he wasn’t engaged in any wrongdoing. The truth is, it was fairly agency in the truth that he mishandled labeled paperwork. He simply wasn’t indicted and criminally charged, however let me comply with up with you. The paperwork discovered within the president’s.”
Landrieu stopped Welker chilly, “Wait, wait, no, Kristen, wait, let me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You’ll be able to’t no, no, no. I’m not going to. I’m not going to simply accept that premise. In an investigation, a particular counsel determines based mostly on the info and the legislation about whether or not someone engaged in felony wrongdoing. And he discovered that the president did. As a matter of reality, he’s the one particular counsel that’s been engaged in this type of exercise that needed to say that he couldn’t indict someone. And that’s that could be a reality. And in order that’s the massive takeaway from this report from a authorized perspective.”
Welker backtracked, and tried one other lie, “From a authorized perspective, that’s completely proper. He stated he was not going to indict him. Let me although, ask this query. As a result of he didn’t have the legislation on the info to do it. Proper. Effectively, proper. However he did say that labeled paperwork had been mishandled. And he stated that nationwide safety may have been jeopardized.”
Landrieu stopped her once more, “However let me, let me ask you this, as a result of the paperwork, however Kristen, he didn’t say nationwide safety. No ma’am. I’m sorry. He didn’t say nationwide safety. was compromised and also you simply, you simply heard from the Secretary of Homeland Safety, however, however it was not. And the info and the legislation prompt that the president was not engaged in felony exercise to be distinguished between the previous president, who proper now has 91 felony counts pending in opposition to him in 4 totally different instances. So let’s simply preserve the info proper. And let’s, let’s not make false comparisons between the 2, which sadly folks do plenty of today.”
