loans investigation is badly tainted and in my opinion should be thrown out it's even with those statements of congress that he did not see me to become the f.b.i. director again has been proven false the whole deal was a total scam if i wasn't president i'd be seeing everyone all over the place well let's get more on this former white house correspondent kimberly hauck is live for us in washington d.c. kimberly how unusual is it to see judges weighing in on a case that doesn't involve them. yeah this is pretty unusual and that's why it's making headlines we're watching very carefully for this meeting of the executive committee of the judges association typically they had met in the spring but they said they accelerated this or having a conference call to discuss what they see as the sort of increasing pattern of the president to weigh in on politically sensitive cases as you point out the most

recent case the is one involving his son rather his friend and ally roger stone but there's also alarm that has been coming from justice department officials former justice department officials this comes on the heels of 2000 of them essentially calling for the resignation of william barr the attorney general what the feeling is is that this is a sort of pattern that of weighing in on cases the pattern of pretentiously sort of recommending things that would benefit the president's friends is sort of counter to the whole concept of equal justice under the law as mandated by the u.s. constitution. can be as we mentioned there the president has been weighing in on twitter threatening to sue everyone over the police why is this so important to him . this is important for a number of reasons but primarily this is about loyalty the president has said from the beginning that he expected the outmost of loyalty from his attorney general he

felt that the role of the attorney general which is the top lawyer in the united states heading the justice department is to protect the president and his policies the president has said this is something that he believes the former attorney general eric holder did for barack obama during his presidency as he was furious with his own attorney general former attorney general jeff sessions that he were accused himself from the moller probe into whether or not * there was collusion between terms presidential campaign and russia so when he put in william barr the current attorney general he expected this and he's feeling sensually frustrated that he's not seeing the loyalty that he demanded the other issue in all of this is that roger stone is a friend of the president so for the president donald trump is personal he's been weighing in as you pointed out twitter watching very carefully in the coming hours to see if he has more to say as he departs the white house to head to california for fundraising ok kimberly holcomb there joining us live from washington d.c.

obviously russia is not involved and this is of course the line they have been maintaining since the invasion in eastern ukraine and the backing of the discipline . rebels there that that's always been the line but of course there's an overwhelming evidence of that the chose contrary it's also important to note that this peace process has been going very slowly from the beginning because russia is insisting that ukraine organizes elections in eastern ukraine and also give a special status to dawn boss and that's something very difficult because ukraine says we can only hold elections when there's no forces there in that area and also when we have control over that border which is basically still controlled by the russian backed separatists and so this is a major point and a major debt block to this whole process which just today gone back again very far and it doesn't look very optimistic right now. degeneres drug gangs have become the
