Trump on Defying Subpoenas: I Could Have Fired Everybody But I Let Myself Get Investigated

RUSH EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “I wanted to you have transparency. Article 2. I could have fired Mueller. I could have fired anybody I wanted to fire article 2. I fired nobody other than Comey and the have interesting and that was early and people don’t talk about that, but the very interesting thing about firing Comey is that everybody wanted him fired. All the Democrats. I mean, virtually everybody. The Democrats thought he was horrible. The Republicans thought he was owner. And I said, you know, this is going to be wonderful. I’m going to fire this guy. When he gets fired I thought it was go going to be popular. Ened he got fired and the Democrats satback and they thought and the same people that two days earlier saying how horrible he was saying this is a terrible thick. What’s a terrible thing is they are not putting our country first. I have been the most transparent president in history. I said let anybody speak. The White House counsel can I heard, I mean this is I heard they interviewed 500 people I didn’t know we had that many people between the house and other branches. I mean, who would think they interviewed 500 people if that is possible to be correct. They spent, as I told you, $35 million. They had unlimited human resources. They had the FBI working for they had U.S. Attorneys. They had the justice Department working for them. And they found no collusion. But I was totally transparent. I didn’t tell anybody you can’t go. I could have.”
