TRUMP: 'In the 'old days' if you were President and you had a good economy, you were basically immune from criticism. THE FACTS: You can assume many previous presidents would beg to disagree that a good economy shielded them from criticism.
WASHINGTON -- Russia keeps reverberating even with special counsel Robert Mueller's report now part of history.
Trump declined to sit for an interview with Mueller's team, gave written answers that investigators described as"inadequate" and"incomplete," said more than 30 times that he could not remember something he was asked about in writing, and — according to the report — tried to get aides to fire Mueller or otherwise shut or limit the inquiry.
Under President Bill Clinton, whose top campaign staffer James Carville coined the phrase"the economy, stupid" to underscore what the campaign should be about, the unemployment rate fell to 3.8% and the nation's economy grew 4% or more for four straight years. THE FACTS: Trump is wrong to suggest that the FBI acted illegally by investigating him. The FBI does not need to know if or have evidence that a crime occurred before it begins an investigation.
THE FACTS: He'd have a tough hearing at the Supreme Court. Justices ruled 9-0 in 1993 that the Constitution grants sole power of impeachment to the House and Senate, not the judiciary. As a result, the report factually laid out instances in which Trump might have obstructed justice, leaving it open for Congress to take up the matter or for prosecutors to do so once Trump leaves office. Mueller's team wrote that its investigation was conducted"in order to preserve the evidence when memories were fresh" and documentary material available.
THE FACTS: Trump's wrong to suggest that the people"closest" to him weren't called to testify before Mueller's team. Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal lawyer who once said he was so close to the president that he'd"take a bullet" for him, also cooperated with Mueller and delivered unflattering details.
GIDLEY, when asked whether Trump believes an accurate census count isn't necessary:"He wants to know who's in this country. I think as a sovereign nation we have that right. It's been a question that's been on the census for decades." — remarks Tuesday.
