onn mueller's moves. 13 indicted in the russia probe inside the charges and the president's reaction. and another school shooting and a demand for action. >> president trump, you say what can you do? you can stop the guns from getting into these childrens' hands. plus a failure by the fbi. >> protocol was not followed. no further investigation was conducted at that time. >> the tip they got about the

killer back in january. immigration at an empass. >> i thought our friends across the aisle would jump at this opportunity. they just couldn't take yes for an answer. >> president trump has stood in the way of every single proposal that could become law. "inside politics" the biggest stories, sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to "inside politics." to our viewers nationwide and around the world thanks for joining us. as the country mourns for the 17 lives taken by the school shooter a familiar conversation is happening once again. the question, how to prevent the next mass shooting? some of the survivors who lived through this past week tragedy are old enough to vote but they have a clear message to washington, do something. >> politics funded by the nra

telling nothing could have ever been done to prevent this. we call b.s. >> they say that tougher gun laws do not defeat gun violence. we call b.s. they say a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun we call b.s. they say guns are tools like knives and no dangerous than cars, we call b.s. >> president trump has his own message about the shooting and who's to blame. he gave a glimpse into his thinking on saturday night. a little after 11:00 p.m., trump tweeted very sad that the fbi missed all of the many signals sent out by the florida school shooter. there is not acceptable. they're spending too much time spending russian collusion with the trump campaign. there is no collusion. get back to the basics and make us all proud. that wasn't the only tweet from the president late last night or

this morning. jeff zeleny is live for us in west palm beach, florida. we saw some very pointed messages from the president. >> reporter: good morning. there certainly have been. the president is tweeting a lot but let's go back to the tweet that you just read there about that shooting in parkland, florida. of course the president the moment he arrived here in florida on friday afternoon, he visited the hospital and law enforcement officers and the tweet this morning certainly seems discordon with the raw emotion that is in the air here in florida in the wake of the deadliest school shooting since sandy hook. the president not surprisingly once again making it about him, drawing the fbi mistake which no doubt was a massive blunder to the russia investigation. by tweeting that, a fact check on that tweet. of course that call went in to the west virginia call center for the fbi. it was never relayed to the field agents on the ground so

the president saying, the fbi was distracted by the russia investigation and was unable to do this simply does not line up with the facts. the reality here is, there's no question there is a sense for action and urge for the president, all politicians to do something on guns but again that tweet late last night making it about the fbi certainly the president discordoned. the president talking about the russia investigation. let's take a look at the latest tweet from the president who often starts his sunday mornings doing just that and this is what he said. i never said that russia did not meddle in the election. i said it may be russia or china or another country or a group. or it may be a 400 pound genius sit not guilty bed and playing with his computer. the russian hoax was that the trump campaign colluded with russia. it never did. so again a fairly extraordinary

tweet less than 48 hours after the president's own justice department, the u.s. justice department really laid out a sweeping indictment of russia's involvement in the 2016 election. from chapter to verse about that specific involvement of vladimir putin and his allies in trying to meddle with the election. the president again this morning -- it's like groundhog day, saying, again it might have been a 400 pound genius, it might have been a russia, simply not accepting the fact and not honing in on russia specifically. and also not saying what the united states government, what his administration plans to do about the fact that there is, you know, reams of evidence that there was meddling in the election. if that wasn't enough, the president also going after his national security adviser who said at the munich security conference in germany just on saturday that there was incontrovertible evidence that russia did meddle in the election.

so the president had this to say about his national security adviser. general mcmaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians and the only collusion was between russia and cooked hillary, the dnc and the dems. uranium, speeches, e-mails and the podesta company. the president throwing a lot out there seems to be watching cable television here late in the evening last night as he was tweeting this out. certainly, it does not make the point or offer any insight into what he plans to do if anything about that russian meddling. >> in terms of general mcmaster, where does he stand in this white house right now? >> reporter: that is a great question. the president going after his national security adviser it underscores a major rift. we've been hearing for a while now that general mcmaster is on thin ice with the president and

some of the other advisers. i think this tweet certainly underscores that fact and the fact that general mcmaster was so clear in his language on saturday may also underscore that he is, you know, calling it like he sees it here. in terms of how long he will remain his national security adviser that's an open question. we do not know that but we do know he is at odds with the president in some respects and in this white house that's anyone's guess. sometimes the president leads people on, sometimes he does not. it certainly underscores a rift that is there. >> still so early and so many tweets. here to share their reporting and their incites michael sheer of the "the new york times," eliana johnson of politico, "the washington post" and rachel bade. really we really almost have to monitor our phones at this point because the president has been so active already on twitter. i want to go to you first on this. his tweet linking the fbi's

blunder with the fbi's russia investigation seeming to make this terrible tragedy that happened in florida about himself. >> yeah. the fbi is a big organization. they can walk and chew gum at the same time. they can focus on shooting threats, they can focus on international threats, they can focus on more than that at once. the president is taking this opportunity -- it's very clear that it's not actually a legitimate concern to say if you're not getting florida straight it means you're paying too much attention to russia and screwing that up to. he's choosing to make his political argument that there's no collusion. that is a very not empathetic thing to do this week. i haven't really heard the president offered any direct empathy to the victims or meet directly with these families yet and they're clamoring for gun control not for clarification of how the president feels about russia. we know how he feels about the

raur investigation. and this week especially to do that is tone deaf. mueller's indictments in those 13 russians, he's not going to turn those people over. it's a signal to washington about what they can do and the president is taking that moment and not saying, okay, it's probably russia. let's rule out the 400 pound guy. >> we'll get to that in the next block. he was down in florida, he met with some first responders. he also met privately with some families as well and but in this tweet he's certainly taking this off what he did do as commander-in-chief. >> he's never been good with this -- we've had a bunch of tragic moments and the like, this president has never been good at the empathy thing, so when he went down and gave a few brief remarks at the hospital and praised the doctors and the first responders all of whom deserve praise but there was a

sense that he was sort of missing the main point or the main thing that americans look to a president at that moment which is to help them deal with the grief and the pain, and the tweet this morning as karen said was the problem is that it again misses the central point which is that, you know, there was a failure at the fbi to deal properly with the tip that came in and route it to the right place so that it could have perhaps prevented this and a president who obviously is in charge at some level of the fbi, its his fbi and his justice department, what americans look to at that moment is for the president to be dealing with that fact. what are you going to do, mr. president? what steps are you going to order to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again and by taking that moment and then shifting it back to the russia investigation and himself and collusion and the political argument, you know, it

leaves you wanting still the substance. what is it that the country is going to do about this problem? >> that what you hear very powerful from florida. we've got sound from people in florida really wondering what will happen next, what is the government going to do? >> take action. don't let this happen to your children. we thought it would never happen to us and it did. we can have all the ideas that we want but ideas without action remain ideas and childrens' lives are lost as a result. >> this shouldn't be a fight between two different parties, this should be a coming together where we all realize that something is wrong and even if we disagree on the way to fix it, we all just need to talk about it and stop being angry and slandering other people because it doesn't help anybody. >> powerful voices from children, teenagers who witnessed in some cases their friends being gunned down at their high school. >> look, i do think it's important to point out this was a major oversight for the fbi

and we have a president who's been saying the fbi's in tatters and as far as the political argument i do think trump gets some sort of a boost out of this as accuracy asthat is to say but this wasn't the only federal law enforcement oversight that could have prevented one of these incidents. there were two others. one in the charleston shooting where that shooter had information that should have prevented him from getting a weapon where federal authorities did not enter information into the background check system and another in sutherland spring, texas. there is a pattern of these federal authorities or disconnect between local authorities not communicating with federal authorities and i think that's the most concrete thing that needs to be fixed that we know could've prevented this shooting. >> you had discussions about background checks in the past tightening some of those procedures. marco rubio, of course, the senator from florida had this to say in terms of background

checks. >> the background system is broken and so when that background check was run it didn't say he had been expelled from school, it didn't say there had been 30 police calls, it didn't say that he had these social media posts, none of that. >> rachel, is that where -- if congress is to do something is that where maybe the most logical place is for the background check. >> that would with make a lot of sense. there are some republicans willing to look at background checks. i don't think that that is predominantly the republican party. we're seeing the hill focus right now on the fbi and what they could've done in terms of getting this tip. we saw a press release by trey gowdy who leaves the oversight committee in the house and bob goodlatte who leads the house skrar committee. republicans are talking about mental health obviously as democrats are talking about gun control. i do think it's a little disingenuo disingenuous, though. republicans voted for this bill just a few months ago that basically got rid of an

obamacare or obama era regulation that would've basically made it harder for somebody who had a severe mental health condition to purchase a gun by putting it on those background checks. the other issue here is that it's really tough to be put on that list where you can't buy a gun if you do have a severe mental health issue. you have to be put in the hospital against your will or court ordered and that is really difficult -- >> not clear that the shooter would have even been on that list. >> if they want to talk about mental health, is the standard enough right now or do we need -- >> we'll have to end here. it will be interesting to see if trump does anything at the executive level in terms of executive orders in the way that obama did. coming up, mueller dieindic 13 russians and why trump says no collusion.

2016 presidential election. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein echoed what intelligence officials had been saying tor months about the role russians played in an american election. >> defendants allegedly conducted what they called information warfare against the united states. >> despite this morning's tweet from the president that he never said russia didn't meddle in the election the no collusion claim is standard president trump. in the 37 page indictment you see there, the 37 page indictment undercuts his many passes missile as the russian probe, hoax, witch hunt and democratic plot. >> i don't think anybody knows it was russia that broke into the dnc. >> how many times do i have to answer this question? >> russia is a ruse. this russia thing with trump and russia is a madeup story. >> the entire thing has been a witch hunt. >> the russia story say total fabrication. >> russia did not help me. okay? i call it the russian hoax.

>> they made up the whole russia hoax. >> that was a democrat hoax. >> it's a democrat hoax. >> and as predicted we've got more tweets from president trump this morning, this was his latest, if it was the goal of russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the u.s., then with all the committee hearings, investigations and party hatred they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. they are laughing their butts off in moscow. that's not what he tweeted but it's sunday i'm not going to say that word and he ended saying, get smart america. michael, it's welcome like he isn't the president of america. >> the two things that struck me from that tweet were what you just said. the end of that tweet sounds like he's sitting some where in trump tower before he became president criticizing the administration and the government and yet he is the president. the other thing that struck me was the first word of that tweet, if.

the justice department just passed down this indictment on friday that lays out in excruciating detail how, in fact, the russians tried to meddle in the 2016 election and you have the president of the united states instead of taking that and moving forward with what the administration is going to do about it, he still sewing doubt. he still says if they tried to meddle and that's really -- it's not surprising given the clips that you played and given what we've seen over the past year plus but it's still pretty amazing. >> trump really has never been able to view russian meddling in the election as anything other than an attack on his legitimacy and he cannot abide that. the indictment made clear that the original goal of the meddling had nothing to do with trump in particular. it was to sew discord and dissension in the american political system. they messed with several other candidates aside from trump and

i actually think that the president in his tweet about putin's intent to sew discord through probes and investigations, he's absolutely right about that. he's not wrong at all. >> if you look at that 37 page indictment, the scale and scope of their efforts are pretty massive and it's laid out in detail in this indictment. >> it's organized, it's taking time to study patterns that would be plausible and believable in the united states. it's executing in various rounds and various attempts of filling different roles. it's learning from, you know, what -- when you're in an open society, people can read and study you and try to use that against you and russia's very good at doing that and we're not the first people they've done that with. president trump is right in identifying that russia's probably happy right now. he's right in identifying as you were saying last block that there are problems with fbi. he gives himself a pass.

he's not guilt-free in sewing discord. it's very difficult to talk about the flaws and the way we respond to this when you make everything about collusion and russia and you. we can't have a national conversation about what to do to stave off russian meddling and what to do about fixing problems with the fbi problems because the president keeps inserting himself and making this about the plig back and forth about his election. it buries everything else. >> i think you're right. he's the perfect accomplice on sewing this dissension. >> we've also seen the white house say blame democrats and actually the press -- >> exactly. >> the press is continuing to cover this, you know, russia controversy, democrats are accusing me of collusion. it's their fault they're continuing to sew dissent. on capitol hill looking at these indictments and looking at this document that the d.o.j. put out there's a lot of concern in the

next couple weeks about the midterm election. >> right. >> congress pass aed a few week ago -- there's going to be a huge ramp up in pressure on the hill for the white house to do something -- for trump to address this. >> you had intelligence officials on the capitol hill talking about this the idea that russia is very likely already meddling and certainly prepared for 2018 in november. here's what they had to say. >> there is no allegation in this indictment that any american was a knowing participant in this illegal activity. there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election. >> that's the wrong clip there. we wanted to go to senate intel committee hearing where they were talking about russia in the -- here it is. they've got it. >> director pompeo, have you

seen russian activity in the lead-up to the 2018 election cycle? >> yes, we have seen russian activity and intentions to have an impact on the next election cycle here. >> director coats? >> yes, we have. >> the question, what are they doing about it and how is trump leading or not leading on this issue? >> that's the thing. we are within the zone right now, the strike zone for 2018. sanctions aren't going to do anything to stop whatever russia has under play for 2018. it's already under way. you have a few democrats putting out a task force of recommendations, definitely the intelligence community testifying at that worldwide threats hearing saying you should be worried about this but the committees are in gridlock. they're not done with their investigations. they might put out recommendations of the next few weeks. what are recommendations without money behind them? how do you roll that out before the primaries start next month in some states? we're behind the eight ball. we're a little asleep at the

♪ (buzzer) ♪ olly. nis he welcome back. what a week it was for this administration. even for a white house used to bad headlines this past ecooffered some of the worst. on friday this from the "the new yorker," donald trump a playboy model and a system for concealing infidelity on tuesday from the "new york times." michael d. cohen, trump's long time lawyer said he paid stormy

daniels out of his own pocket. also tuesday, this headline from cnn, fbi director contradicts white house's porter timeline. the former white house aide is accused by two ex-wives of domestic assault and abuse and the white house is facing continued scrutiny over why top trump aides defended porter and kept him in his top level job even after the allegations were known to white house officials. on tuesday the fbi director debunked the white house's time line. >> the fbi submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in march and then a completed background investigation in late july that is soon thereafter we received request for follow-up inquiry and we did the follow-up and provided that information in november. >> but top white house aides

initially stood by porter and claimed many didn't know about the allegations until media reports. porter resigned on february 7th with the president offering him praise. it took a week after porter's resignation for the president to say this on camera. >> i'm opposed to domestic violence and everybody here knows that. i am totally opposed to domestic violence of any kind. everyone knows that. and it almost wouldn't even have to be said. so now you hear it but you all know it. >> ellie ana, the white house can't seem to get back the porter scandal. they bunningled the initial reaction to it and you wonder what the lasting impact this is going to be for this white house particularly being tone deaf on the issue of domestic violence? >> it was actually the florida school shooting that took the heat off the white house for the porter scandal, the attention

off the white house. i think there are a couple points to make. the first is the inept handling of this really allowed this scandal to spread from a single white house aide and it reverberated around the entire white house. this is a scandal that the president didn't have a lot of responsibility for but it reverberated from the one with aide porter to kelly to the communication staff which was then caught saying things that weren't true to the president who then poorly messaged it and it managed to touch every corner of the white house. clearly the white house was tone deaf on this but also didn't seem to have its message straight and sort of mishandled it in every way possible. that's one lasting effect is the white house is realizing it's going to have to get its story straight and this wasn't the president who bungled the truth though he is known for that it was his chief-of-staff. the second is the issue of

security clearances that i think is having a lasting effect. it became clear during the past ecothat there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of white house aides working on interim security clearances including presidential son-in-law jared kushner. i think rob porter was case in point about how aides working on these clearances can really come to bite the white house in the butt. >> and john kelly of the chief-of-staff embattled chief-of-staff in some ways put out this five page memo and this is part of what he said on friday in that memo. the american people deserve a white house staff that meets the highest standards and that has been carefully vetted, especially those who work closely with the president or handle sensitive national security information. we should and in the future must do better. michael, you wrote about this memo. the memo seems to suggest that the system itself is broken, another sort of i think takeaway might be that it's broken under

this administration. >> that's right. i spent much of the week talking to people who are familiar with the clearance process and as its worked under previous presidents. everybody that i talked to expressed amazement that such things as the rob porter case could slip through because there have been processes set up very detailed processes for that kind of information getting from the fbi to the security office at the white house and on to the more senior aides and the counsel's office and senior staff office. the memo that general kelly put out acknowledges that they need to do better and says that they're going to make a bunch of changes but it doesn't really do whatever everybody has been clamoring for which is to lay out the time line of how this particular case happened and where the breakdowns are. we still don't have the full and complete story about who knew, did the white house counsel's office know, did anybody in the chief-of-staff's office, know joe hagen a former bush

administration who's now the deputy chief-of-staff in the trump white house, it's his area that this all falls under, did he know? i still think that, you know, as much as they were trying to put this to bed with this memo and say we're going to make these changes, it's still very much an open question and as, you know, as we noted, the jared kushner thing is a big deal because this is the president's son-in-law and his -- the question of his clearance is still very much in open. >> i want to pivot and this is an odd pivot but in this theme of bad headlines, other bad headlines from the "the new yorker" and these claims that the president essentially has secrets to hide and here is the reporter ronan ferrell who broke this story about the president's alleged relationship with the play gigirl playgirl. >> they were very much entwined

in donald trump's business operations, his professional events and his professional contacts. this story suggests a concerted effort and indeed a well-oiled machine designed to conceal this both during and after the fact. >> talk about a topic that republicans don't want to touch. i think that that's something from my perch on capitol hill, a lot of people are reading these stories and eyebrows are very much being raised. when we go back to porter we'll see the hill dig in more. the reason people are asking questions about the timeline who knew what when and what did they do, trey gowdy the house oversight chairman doesn't have anything to lose as a republican, doesn't have to run for office again, he has said he's going to be investigating this and has asked for documents, he's asking for interviews. we could see don mcgahn be in big trouble over this. this is not over. >> these are stories that are not going to go away. >> right.

a bipartisan proposal did a little better with 54 yes votes even after the white house threw down a veto threat. the department of homeland security had its own take saying the deal would turn the country into a sanctuary nation. trump also weighed in calling the plan a total catastrophe and he said who was clear who was to plame. cannot believe how badly daca recipients have been treated by the democrats totally abandoned. republicans are still working hard. rachel, are they still working hard, republicans on this or is this a dead deal at this point? >> they're very much stalled out right now. the president wants to blame democrats for this. the truth is, his proposal only got 39 votes. there was a bipartisan proposal to give a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers in exchange for $25 billion worth of border security, a wall with mexico. that is a big concession for trump and if he took that and ran with it, he could say i

checked off a huge campaign promise but he's not doing that and so unless the white house is willing to compromise more, this is going to go nowhere fast. >> michael, what's your sense of what the white house is actually willing to do at this point on this, if anything? >> look, there's lots of really conservative hard line anti-immigration voices inside the white house that are whispering into trump's ear. the idea that there would be more compromise by the white house they think they've compromised as much as they're going to go. put me down as a skeptic. the issue of immigration is like lucy and the football where every few years there's a big effort in capitol hill, last time it was 2013 and before that it was 2017 -- similar to gun control and every so often we get this sort of spurt of optimism and then the football gets taken away. there's nothing in the immediate future that suggests anything different. >> we heard from some

republicans on the hill. here's what they had to say after this failed in the senate. >> i'm ready to move on. i don't want to hear that we need to devote for time to the amnesty issue. if i thought people were in good faith, i would be willing to do that. this was all about posturing for the 2018 midterm elections. >> the immigration demi gods win again on the left and the right. the only way i see a solution is for the president to grab the rings back and lead himself and get democrats and republicans in a room, focusing on strong border security and a fair solution for daca. >> karen, there is a deadline coming up on this march 5th. >> there's court orders pushing out that deadline. at this point there's republicans and people in capitol hill who are trying to look at the omnibus coming up in late march which would miss that march 5th deadline but that isn't really a real deadline. they're trying to put an

extension to daca. one of the senators i was talking to is three years or more. it's the next election cycle. maybe it's a way of getting around president trump. it's not clear. you can't really get around is just an indication that there is panic around this. they don't want it to go away but they don't have a way of doing this in a comprehensive independent way. >> it's classic moves by congress unable to act unless there's real pressure so we'll see what happens with that. up next, a taste of tomorrow's headlines today including house speaker ryan's popul popularity contest and how it's splitting the house into factions. he gets to be the fun one? ♪ who's the fun one now? made with real cream. reddi-wip. instant greatification.

each sunday we share a glimpse of the tips and reporters that could become big headlines. >> it's easy to forget amid russia and security clearance issues and everything else that the issue of conflicts of interest between this president and the business that he built before he became president are still around and to that end, i recommend an article by a couple of my colleagues in the paper today which describes a trip that donald trump jr. is going to be taking to india this coming week to help sell million dollars plus condos and apartments that the trump organization has partnered with some local business interests in india and of course the trump name is part of what is selling these condos, these high end condos in these fancy buildings even as the trump administration is doing foreign policy that effects india and pakistan and

the region. it's a reminder that as we move forward that issue is still with us and probably will be for the rest of this president's time in office. >> it'll be interesting to see what comes out of junior's trip. >> john kelly had his worst week on the job given the crisis surrounding rob porter's dismissa from the white house and the lack of clarity and the time line. nonetheless, donald trump has kept him as his chief-of-staff. there's no indication that he's going to be dismissed and i think we still don't have total clarity in to how kelly has maintained trump's confidence and i think that will be key because surely there will be an additional crisis -- another crisis in the future but i do think that the details surrounding how kelly managed to stay on the job are really important and will learn those in the coming weeks. >> we'll look for that. >> we learned a lot of new details about the mueller indictment of how russian meddling was working.

we're waiting on seeing more details of how the russia story worked. the first is the memo debate that will not end. the democrats memo has yet to come out. schiff is working on the redactions. in addition, the senate judiciary committee is sitting on a bunch of transcripts from all of the participants in that trump tower meeting except for kushner and manafort. both the americans and the russians who were participating have spoken to that committee. we'll see a lot of details that went on and that could fill in some of the story as well of what has become a central focus that goes more towards the coordination, collusion questions perhaps than the meddling questions. >> investigation continues. rachel? >> the speaker paul ryan popularity contest is heating up and potentially could boil over in the next few weeks. we're seeing house freedom caucus conservatives agitating

against ryan more so than they have in the past. we heard them grumbling, mark meadows said although they're not talking about a new speaker, they're talking about, quote, new leadership. there's a pushback about ryan loyalists are out there trying to defend him. one alabama republican told me this week, these people love being on the front page of the paper. they want to be treated by legislative power players but all they are legislative terrorists. >> strong language. any questions about whether he's going to run again seems to be an undecided question. i'll close with this. congress is in recess which means towel halls across the country. if you recall last february around this time progressive activists dominated town halls. they created viral moments over health care, immigration and president trump. and they spotlighted republican lawmakers who refuse to hold town halls. they even held empty chair town

halls. so what happens this year? lawmakers with an eye on november have announced roughly 120 town halls around the country. if you talk to some democrats they privately worry about the so-called resistance and whether or not it's flagging and republicans have expressed optimism more recently as president trump's numbers have improved and the generic congressional ballot has tightened. where's the energy and what are the issues are driving voters nine months before they go to the polls? thank you for sharing part of your sunday with us. state of the union is next with two exclusive interviews, dana bash sits down with adam schiff. she'll chat with him about the mueller indictment and more. stay tuned. there are two types of people in the world. those who fear the future...
