HOWARD KURTZ (GUEST): Let's not mince words here. I say that as a former Justice Department reporter. This was completely and totally orchestrated by President Trump. He says he's leaving it to Justice, but he very much out in the open, remember, he fired his own appointee as U.S. Attorney in that part of Virginia because he didn't think there was enough evidence to bring this case, brought in a White House aide, his former defense lawyer, whose job was to get this done and apparently that has worked. I think we've become inured to this, but in previous administrations, any hint of contact with a criminal case would be a scandal on its own. And so, President Trump, by the way, he pulled the strings, has gotten his way with this initial indictment.
