Blumenthal: Trump’s a ‘Serial Discourager of the Truth’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

MATTHEWS: "Do you believe what you just said would be a value to Mr. Moore. I’m afraid this is going to take a long time. Listening to your summation, it’s like the summation to the jury, all this evidence is out front. It’s prima facie lawyers say. It was a ringing summation, I thought."
BLUMENTHAL: "Well, there will be no evidence. No doubt the press, and we have the press to thank for uncovering the truth and many of these stories. We’ll have more because Donald Trump seems to be a serial discourager of of the truth. And that may be the result of his habit within private corporation, but what way, whatever the motive, whatever the practice. It is a pattern and more evidence will be necessary to draw conclusions to bring any charges, we’re not there yet and Bob Mueller will no doubt take this investigation aggressively because he is a professional and he’ll draw no conclusions from somebody taking the fifth amendment as former professional prosecutor. I know that when someone claims that right of fifth amendment, self incrimination, it’s not necessarily proof of guilt. There will be more evidence amounting to proof that will be elicited by Bob Mueller."
