. >> from california, devin nunes has won re-election. >> devin nunes has not won re-election as chairman of the house intelligence committee. he'll move off that committee or go back to being the ranking member. devin nunes was a target both for democrats and republicans nationwide. he received a tsunami of national republican money because of his role on the intelligence committee, using that committee to the benefit of president trump to -- and to such incredible conservative media acclaim. andrew janz gave him a race. devin nunes winning comfortably tonight at home in california 22. >> don't know about the roar ba rohrabacher race with any certainty. lawrence o'donnell is standing by. california never disappoints. >> yes, and california's job now is simply to say in the end, what is the ultimate margin the democrats will have in the house of representatives. they obviously have it and now that's -- it's just down to that. as rachel just mentioned, devin nunes will not be chairman of the house intelligence committee. that is among the many important developments tonight that changes wi

i will be pleased when devin nunes is no longer the head of the house intelligence committee, and whenr. schiff is. you like to say resist, well, i resist injustice, i resist inequality, and i resist dishonesty. we have record dishonesty from this administration and you know that to be the case. ms. harkey: that is not true. who started resist? it has been california, and who is leading california? this policy has cost our state tremendously in every area, and we are still suing and being sued by the federal government. resist has made the sanctuary state. resist is what has caused everybody to start coming across the border, resist on the california contingent running the house, maxine waters, nancy pelosi. they are not going to be comfortable until this president is going through impeachment hearings. luckily, it will not make it through the senate, but it is going to cause chaos and mayhem just until they got another , election. you know that is what it is. the republicans break ranks, which is part of a problem with republicans leading the house, they break ranks. democrats hang to

it looks like adam schiff, your ranking merges will become the chairman, replacing devin nunes who didn't want to do much on this investigation. what will be your committee's key priorities looking ahead when you're in the majority? >> you know, i think it's appropriate for us to get back on a bipartisan track, working with our republican colleagues to face our national security. >> can you do that given the bad blood that exists? the senate intelligence commit the democrats and republicans are, would going pretty together, but in the house it's been awful. >> i think we have to try because those national security threats that we face aren't partisan in nature. i think we have to protect the mueller probe and assist them. all the transcripts that people have heard about, i think the first thing we should do is turn over everything that we have to the mueller probe and then see where his gaps are, what we have left to do and move forward appropriately. >> do you believe the republicans will have devin nunes as the ranking member and top republican on your committee? >> i'm hearing mr. nune

when the justice department and the fbi went to paul ryan and devin nunes and said, please don't release these classified materials. please don't release the nunes memo. please don't release the fisa applications which have sources and methods in them. paul ryan and devin nunes, the republican speaker and the republican chairman of the intel committee said, pound sand, fbi head. pound sand, d.o.j.. the justice department, republican appointees at the justice department and fbi their lives get better tomorrow. >> just to check in with one of the sub-plots tonight, and an open request through our control room, i would love an accounting of women elected thus far tonight and veterans elected thus far tonight, even though the night is young. wisconsin -- >> we have governors? >> governors, sure. wisconsin governor is -- i think we have it as too close to call. we also have, we were talking about scott walker, one of the great survivors. however tonight goes, one of the great survivors in american republican current day politics. evers up 50-48. hugh, perhaps you've been listening to the conv

that's quite a difference from devin nunes. not to mention the fact you're going to have a bunch of democrats running committees who are going to be -- >> jerry nadler is going to be chairman of the judiciary committee. >> who are going to get president trump's tax returns. they're going to get them. they're going to subpoena them. they're going to get them. and that is not something president -- president trump has done everything he could to prevent that from happening. >> so that's a different dynamic. what isn't a different dynamic and people might be gulping very hard when i say this, but what is likely to get worse is gridlock because another thing that i heard from a lot of these moderate democrats when i was out watching them campaign is you don't want to defeat me because there will be more gridlock because what we've seen, losing heidi heitkamp in north dakota, claire mccaskill in missouri, joe donnelley in indiana, three moderate democrats. they were painted as liberals, but they're moderate democrats. and with those

bye-bye devin nunes, committee to protect the president. nbc news has called the race in california's 45th. democrats have picked up a net 36 seats in the house of representatives with five races still to be called. and donald trump is isolated and growing more furious by the day. and the worst republican mid-term losses since watergate are just one reason why he's so miserable. frank rich writes in new york magazine that a he lost the mid-term he thought he won, b, the mueller investigation has moved faster than his efforts to thwart it. c, any of his fantasies notably the funding of his border wall are doomed, and d, in his pouting in paris elevated his international image as a buffoon to a whole new level of notoriety. trump plans to travel to california on saturday to view the damage caused by it catastrophic wildfires ravaging the state. 74 people have been killed in those fires. more than 1,000 people are missing, and these are new numbers just announced a few minutes ago. of course, the president's initial instinct blaming the forest

and their transcripts are buried beneath the capital under lock and key, and devin nunes, every timeted that those transcripts would be sent over to bob mueller and his team, has blocked that. and the reason we have requested they be sent to the mueller team is because we believe that there have been lies told to us and that it would be important for the mueller investigation to know about them. >> do you think you'll be able to get those? >> yes. so, we're about 34 days way from a new congress and one of the first things we're going to do is fast track that testimony over to the mueller team. >> all right. so, listen, your committee investigation ended on a pretty ugly note. what are you hoping for once it reboots in this new congress? >> well, first, to conduct the investigations the republicans wouldn't and fill in the gaps. not to be redundant, not to seek a pound of flesch. but especially when it comes to following the money, we want to know about the prior personal and political connections of donald trump, his family, his businesses and his campaign had with russia. to be able

>> they already have a wish list of questions they want to ask and devin nunes wouldn't let them ask. were asked leading questions and when democrats try to follow up, they would cut them off. they can go back against michael cohen's testimony and see who was putting out this false story about the russian deal ending in january versus june. >> only six prosecutions for lying to congress. i think that number would surprise a lot of people. is that about to change? >> i think it is. i think mueller's plea agreement with cohen yesterday really shows that he's very serious about holding people accountable for lying docongress. all those people who thought i can shade the truth here, i doesn't really matter. they are caught in a trap because they are on the record saying certain things. mueller can compare it to the grand jury testimony, subsequent system. there's a lot of legal liability that the witnesses face. >> on the other hand, think you can make an argument that the reason we saw this blue wave is because people, voters were sick of business as usual. are the democrats going to wal

. >> we're going to have to go back to the incomplete illegitimate report put out by devin nunes. it was willfully inadequate. even the senate has a bipartisan committee that is still continuing to investigate the russian intervention. i do think we have subpoena documents that were never subpoenaed by the majority. there are over 30 witnesses we wanted called that were never called. we need to call back a number of witnesses who appeared to perjure themselves in the interviews that were done. so a lot of work ahead of us. >> so you're going to reopen with the current term, devin nunes and his republican majority closed. >> that's correct. >> thank you for coming in. good to have you here in the situation room. >>> just ahead, we've got a lot more news coming up. information we're getting about robert mueller's investigation as the president and allies may try to scuttle the current probe. >>> protesters who want to make sure mueller's investigation is protected. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ since you're heading off to dad... i just got a zerowater. but we've always used brita. it's two stage-filter..

>> well, we've asked devin nunes to just make the transcripts public as they promised. he won't do that. i don't want to go name by name, but i agree with you. it's significant that bob mueller signed this plea as well. he doesn't sign all of them. but what we're seeing, though, and for the last year and a half it's been so maddening is the president has tried to use tampering, obstruction and lying as both a shield and a sword. as a shield because his witnesses are able to protect him from the mueller probe and congressional probes. and as a sword because lying, tampering and obstructing delays the mueller proceedings. the president uses those delays to suggest that the probe is unlawful and to try and undermine it. and those -- both that shield and sword, i think, are melting. >> let me ask you, do you think that today's plea from cohen and what we see in mueller's filing, do you think that strengthens the collusion case? do you see this as mueller having more granular understanding of all the contacts between the highest levels of the russia government and the trump

to another battleground between the parties with very partisa members -- devin nunes of california who has protected the president and gone to great lengths to protect the president and adam schiff who hase g to lengths to antagonize the president so that's what this will be robert: we talked about cabinet officials coming up to capitol hill but it could be members of the family. ivanka trump her email use under scrutiny. she could b called up, as well. lisa: the idea that ivanka trump who spent years of reading stories about hillary clinton's use of private email is nownd ting her affairs for the government usingrivate email is something democrats are emailing me about but puttiet this tr for the show today, this is a political and cultur moment coming togethe and a choice for democrats going into this because the country says they want less toxicity. that's why they watch shows like this. however, it's a little bit like saying, we want to be healthier. does the country really want to go to the trouble ofxercising? or are we all addicted to the internal fighting? and can democrats pus

adamff is going to take over from devin nunes on the house intelligence committee. >> more subpoena than investigation. >> and protecting the mueller investigation but i don't think pelosi wants to get out in front of that. she wants to show they can govern and the way you sh that is put forth ideas that are broadly popular. maybe they don't pass the senate, if they do, they might not get a signature from the president but it gives tco try a sense of what the democrats would do awopposed to t the republicans said they would do. >> how much of this do youithink isding the template for the 2020 presidential election? >> ink she wants to sort of set a tone that will be helpful to candidates. there's going to beo many people both in d.c. and throughout the country who are for that e vying democratic nomination. and i think that it's going to be up to them to decide what their messages a and we'll see a similar split. between what we saw in 2016 with the progressive left wing and then folks trying to hit a more yiddle centrist ground. but they can oo what they can do in the house as democrats

the incouple ent devin nune the republican share of the house intelligence committee, the chief defender of president trump he is thenc bent, his challenge is a fresno prosecutor. how much money is being spent on this race and why is it soex ensive? >> it's ironic because this is the least likely to flip of a lot of these districts. it's not actually one that i think democrats saw long ago as an opportunity. but what'sha happened is nunes has really under his fundraising game. a couple of yearsgo he raised $1 million, didn't ally have an opponent. he has raised $11 million. it's not in californ t. it's on d.c. circuit. of big s, sort conservative donors. on the other side andrew janse, a prosecutor. i think it's an uphill battle. he raised $8 million himself. what's happened is we have seen i think a conversation happening in the central valley even wit the so of registration favorability to nunesthat we haven't seen in fresno. they for the first time in years deny enforcing him. >> the democrats would love to flip although it 345emay be a. i was in sonoma and i saw and u jans signs. a l

the moderate republicans and then take out the more objectionable members, like steve king and devin nunes, that would be great, but, unfortunately, political reality doesn't work that way. so i think if you're gonna send a message to donald trump, you simply had to vote against republicans. and the reality is -- even though there are more moderate republican members who are uneasy with what donald trump is doing, almost none of them -- in fact, pretty much close to zero -- have stood up consistently to donald trump. >> do you think that message got through? >> the midterm elections did not achieve what i hoped to achieve. i mean, they achieved part of what i wanted to achieve, which was to create a check and balance on donald trump, which you get from the democrats taking control of the house. but the elections are not going to separate donald trump from the republican party. in fact, the linkage is tighter than ever, because he has a narrative that he can sell to republicans, that he helped them to pick up senate seats, he helped them to pick up gubernatorial races, and that his kind of

with exception of the devin nunes intelligence committee. mean what a waste of effort and time they ran the clock out on this issue. and i i don't know what republicans think they can do now. >> we need everything declassified and unsealed. lou: the president can do that. >> he can. lou: why hasn't he? >> i think he is getting advice, i rather he ignore. i think a lot of people have encouraged time had declassify it, i would encourage him to do it as well. lou: and if this point, jeral nadler, with 115 congress. in his plan to investigate president's impact on integrity of justice department and fbi, you can't make this up. what do you make of what kind of. they seem like a clown act already. >> it is. it is laughable for mr. nadler to make those accusations, president's tweets reflect general public outrage over double standards, people are just fed up with all corruption in doj and fbi, that is what president is saying. so we need all of this exposed so people can be held account able and public can know the truth. lou: nadler and adam sch

senator lindsey graham will be joining us, along with the house intel committee chairman devin nunes.'t want to miss it. here's the question. how do we have what we know to be crimes committed. will the republicans follow through? the bigger question, equal justice and application of our laws. we will get into that. see if the mueller questions are answered and much more. thanks for being with us. always fair, balanced, not the destroy-trump media. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham is in our nation's capital. >> laura: i have a question for you. when you make your turkey, do you stuff the bird ahead of time or do you just do the stove top deal on the stove? >> sean: no. no. personally i cook the turkey every thanksgiving. master belt has come out with a butterball turkey fryer. >> laura: we heard this. we heard this before. >> sean: you can take a 25-pound turkey and it's done in two hours. it's the best turkey. >> laura: what about stuffing? i got the turkey part. what about the stuffing?

we've been the house of trump, the house of devin nunes, the house of bob goodlat. we've done absolutely zero to check this president who's shown lawless tendencies towards the law, and that's going to stop. and his threats are not going to stop jerry nadler or any member of the house judiciary committee from doing proper oversight. >> before we go i want to ask you one more thing about the scope -- the range of the risk that the justice department now suffers with what the president has done. and is it conceivable that criminal defendants, for example, around the country in federal cases, if there's some decision about their case that's been made at the attorney general level, that's been made by matthew whitaker or approved by matthew whitaker, does that open up an avenue of appeal to criminal defendants around the country to say this was an illegitimate prosecutorial action because there is no legitimate attorney general on this document? >> i would expect to see this. it would be hard to see donald trump arguing that his dad appointed an unconstitutional guy and

will no longer chair. >> devin nunes will dissolve back into obscurity. >> rorter: as well as somparation policy at the border and the response to the devastation of puerto rico afteu rricane maria. also eect a more critical look at the president and his family's private businesses, including their dealings with foren countries, specifically those with heavy investment in trump properties. ne big question is who will lead all of this. nancy pelosi led the party the last timehe democrats helhe majority. according to nbc news exit polling she if onee least popular figures in u.s. politics. for now she is enjoying a victory lap for her party. >> american people wantth peace. want results. >> and so while she may be unpopular, she has effective as a leader. there is not really any indication that democrats will pick anyone else to be the eaker of the house. i think it's important to underscore we will not see that impeachment conversation right away but aot of focus on the president's tax returns. >> thank you. and that leads us to one of the democratic congressmen who will help dece

and truth is not the friend of those republicans like devin nunes and bob goodlatte who are desperate to get back to the topic of hillary clinton appeared her efrjs mails. >> rick: that's because republicans argue there wasn't enough done. it didn't go far enough and didn't put her perhaps in the spot that they think she should be in at this point. >> so the same republicans put her for nine hours of open testimony in front of one of their own investigations. so look, i understand especially now that it turns out that the president's daughter was doing exactly what donald trump ran on using a private email account for government business, i understand how they might want to go back to the hillary clinton thing. but look, this has been aired six times until sunday. as i say, bring it on. let's air it some more. i've been living this for a year or so, living the allegations there was improper behavior at the department of justice,at trump tower. none of these things out to be true. the more people are testifying in public about the fact the more it will be apparent that all these allega

he is the opposing party, and he's about to take over the intelligence committee, which, under a devin nunes, frankly was broken. and the russia investigation was broken there. so we'll see how he chooses to approach this. because democrats do have to worry about overplaying their hands here. that said, he's also not going to be alone. you know, if he's looking into the president's finances and trump's finances as it relates to saudi arabia, he also has the house ways and means committee is going to be asking for the president's tax returns. so a lot of democratic house chairman are going to be coming at the president. and he's not going to be able to, you know, insult his way out of this. >> alice stewart, on the positive side here, in the midst of -- we don't have to say it again, a very divisive, partisan washington, you had the president tweet this morning, republicans and democrats must come together, finally with a major border security package, which will include funding for the wall. we've heard the punitive exchange here for some time. you give me money for my wall, maybe i'll make

january of the house intel, the house intel, as we know, has not had a muscular approach under devin nunes. adam schiff said one of the first things he's interested in is finding out what that blocked number was that don jr. called after that trump meeting with the russians and we will have the power to do that, to find that out. that's interesting. things might break free after january. but i don't know if before that they will. >> certainly nothing is going to come out of the house of representatives before january. and also it's going to take time for them to, you know, gear up, staff up, do investigations. but, you know, the mueller investigation is obviously very active right now. tomorrow morning we'll start to learn something perhaps from -- but as you point out, maybe. maybe not. >> thank you all very much. >> thank you. >>> all right. president trump leaves for the g-20 in about two hours. the kremlin says that vladimir putin will meet with mr. trump on saturday on the sidelines of the summit. we don't know anything from the white house yet. so will president trump confront vladim

thrown aside in the past few years as it's turned into a partisan arm under the chairmanship of devin nunes. when we look alt what the house intel committee could be doing starting in january, we have to look at the run-up to jamal khashoggi's murder, and we also have to look at what's happened afterwards. remember, with its oversight function, the house intel committee can look at whether the cia or the dni more broadly had any information that khashoggi was under threat before he went to turkey for example. and after they conclude that analysis by speaking with members of the intelligence community, they can look at what happened in the aftermath of the murder. what the president knew, what the executive branch knew right after the murder, and over the two months or so since the assassination occurred. what information we got when. i want to stress here, there is precedent. i was in the west wing when benghazi happened, and saw what happened when various congressional committees and finally a special committee really looked into the intelligence, called members of the executive branch to

and now that he's in power, he's going to do exactly the kind of oversight that devin nuÑes was doing he was heading up the same committee. but congressional oversight, again, is a good thing. that's what -- that's the only group out there that should be doing, that should be holding these people accountable. they are charged with doing that. that is their duty, and they should be allowed to do it. it's also important that people who are digging into problems at doj, that we already know about get to do their investigations as well. kennedy: well, it's really interesting to see what happens here. i think, you know, and this is just my personal opinion, that wait for whitaker to do something wrong before you talk about obstructing him or removing him or insisting on his recusal. ask is one of the other points they bring up is that his appointment is unconstitutional. and that is a very serious claim. where do you fall on that? >> i think the, you know, so long as it's temporary, and it is a temporary appointment as far as we know now, i think that donald trump has a very strong case fo

devin nunes among those from the devastation is personal. >> the camp fire hits close to home foreverat lives in paradise. him and his wife, their house is now gone. my uncle had to take a motorhome, used motorhome up to chico where you now see a lot of people camped out. they are living in the town of chico which is not far from paradise. the tragic part about all of this is maria, years ago we had mills all over the state. we used to go up into the forest and risa take this word out. and i think what american people need to know is that if you do not remove the wood and the brush, eventually it burns. the dry conditions and powerful wind this past week certainly made it tougher on firefighters. joining is now with the forecast reports of california where the fires are still burning, adam klotz in the fox extreme weather center. any relief in sight? adam: things are slowly beginning to improve in the next week or so. i think things will get even better. but it is still warm, it is still dry as most of the countries dealing with winter these are temperatures you are experiencing espec

rosenstein signed off on a renewal of the fisa warrant to surveilled carter page and devin nunes has been wanted to get more documents declassified. will that happen before democrats take open the house intel panel? the president warned if nancy pelosi wants to investigate in the house, republicans have the senate and "two can play that game." >> martha: it sounded like he meant it. joining me now exclusively is a fierce critic of former attorney general sessions, ohio congressman jim jordan. good to have you with us this evening. a lot of people would look at jeff sessions time at the justice department did say he was tough on immigration, very tough on law enforcement, they look at that and say the only reason the president didn't like him was because he recused himself. >> i appreciate senator sessions at service to our country but we call for a special counsel more than a year ago and have repeatedly called for it since then. i don't like special counsel but you tell me how we get the answers from the fbi in the doj particularly about the russia investigation. we don't know what'

would have to be sent over from the house intelligence committee, and every time we have asked, devin nunes and the republicans have voted against that. it's for this reason, testimony like this that we're very concerned. >> if the democrats regain the house, will you bring stone back to testify before the committee? >> well, i think we'll fill in the gaps where they exist in the russia investigation, which first would be to send the transcripts to bob mueller. then show the public the transcripts and interview witnesses. also, to test their accounts using the subpoena power. and so i think first, what we want to do is test what roger stone told us by subpoenaing twitter, subpoenaing bank records, going after travel logs and communication logs. we ran a take them at their word investigation with a gang that was not worthy of being taken at their word. >> let me ask you this. if it is proven and we're not there yet, but if it is proven that roger stone was in touch with wikileaks, which u.s. intelligence views as a middleman used by russia to get these stolen e-mails out. if he got advance n

think about devin nunes for example. he was able to do things.u have at least six senators who want to run for president in 2020. how are they going to get attention? they're going to talk about donald trump. it's the only way for them to get attention. the third thing is, the restless base. these democrats believe their voters want them to investigate donald trump. four, the media. there's going to be leaked to the media. the media's going to look for stories and it's going to be everywhere the fifth thing is some people, in the president's cabinet or in the administration, make themselves ripe for targeting. while nancy pelosi might say she wants to be measured and cautious, i don't think these things are going to allow that to happen. >> juan: picking up on what dana said, i saw 64% of democrats want the president to be impeached. >> greg: i think this is a great move for the democrats. why 85? go to 100. i'm sure barron did something on the playground that warrants investigation. i think the chef may be did something. they should appoint aven

four times, grassley, graham, devin nunes memos. bulk of information in the fisa warrants use the same,fi unverified, uncorroborated dossier that christopher steele under oath himself testified he had no idea it was true. this is all being ignored. why? because his partisan witch hunt has never really been about russia collusion. it has been about delegitimizing president trump. he started by a guy that says hd should lose 100 million to zero in the election. the car that exonerated hillary, was writing an exoneration before investigation. show me the man, i'll find you the crime. finally, we do turn to big and bad news out of florida. first, the good news, there will be noofl more recounts in the gubernatorial election or in any last-minute legal attempts to maybe steal the election, have to assume that's a possibility. republican ron desantis is now certified, he will be the next governor of the great state of florida. andrew gillum has not conceded even though he only picked up -- get this -- one vote in the recount. one vote. my

in january when you take the mantle as is assumed you will of chair of your committee away from devin nunes, who i think it is fair to say you think has not been terribly effective as a chairman, you then will have the power to subpoena witnesses. you will be able to call whoever you want. you will be able to get phone records. what will you do first? >> well, i can't say what we'll do first, but i can tell you that we're going to do the same kind of prioritization that the other committees will do. we will have to look at those investigator strands that the republicans were afraid to go down because we were afraid what it might reveal, that are most important to the american people. we need to know, for example, whether the russians have financial leverage over the president of the united states that's warping u.s. policy in a pro-russia direction. we were not allowed to look at whether the russians were laundering money for the trump organization. that has to be examined. but we also need to get a whole raft of documents that the republicans were unwilling to pursue. and to give you one f

to probe like trump's ties to russia where adam schiff plans to push the white house more than devin nunesump doesn't follow norms. we know that. what if the trump administration just defies these new democratic chairs? well, that's where subpoena power comes in, and these democrats say they will use that power if need be. >> we will make sure that matt whitaker immediately, one of our birs orders of business will be to invite him and if necessary make him appear before the democratic committee. >> i've spoken to a source that says tonight breaking news, they do intend to request president trump's tax returns. >> they go to the very heart of our democracy and protecting that democracy. >> so in each of those examples forcing whitaker to testify, getting trump's tax returns, demanding information from trump aides to protect democracy, the democrats will make demands to the trump administration. it can cooperate or it can refuse. and after refusal, well, that's where the key legal fight comes. because to enforce a subpoena these democratic chairs, they can't act all on their own. they need t

at this point hopefully we don't have dueling memos from adam schiff and devin nunes. >> jesse: i misshose days. >> juan: how do you spell that that? schitt. >> kennedy: juan, this is a family show. >> juan: the president of the united states and such juvenile behavior. >> kennedy: i don't know what has happened to decorum. >> greg: someone get the fainting couch. >> kennedy: i think jesse is right. there could be some surprises. i hope this investigation doesn't just tackle things that might've happened between this administration and the russia during the campaign and i hope it sets a precedent for what we might find out in the future about some of these fisa warrant applications. >> greg: juan, what do you foresee coming out of this investigation? what do you think is going to be on the mueller report? >> juan: i was on fifth avenue today and i saw trump shoot a guy. while he was doing it, all the trump supporters that it doesn't matter to me. trump set i told you. i told you. i think that's what he wrote in the mueller report. nothing you find, nothing you say is going to impact my

committees to be democrats as opposed to republicans and when they were republicans, somebody like devin nunessident and his committee as the president's personal attorney. >> seth: yes. >> which was a problem. >> seth: it was a problem, sure. >> and so now you have all this investigated heat likely to come down on the president which will, let's face it, it's going to cause a real storm. because even on a good day, even on his best day -- [ laughter ] the president is capable of behavior, well, like what you were showing on the film. >> seth: yes. and this -- >> and now that he's going to be quite possibly in a corner, whether it's possibly his son might get indicted thanks to robert mueller, or something might happen to him or they'll look into his finances, he's apoplectic about this. so within 8 1/2 seconds, 8 1/2 -- maybe 8 3/4 seconds after the election, what you had was the president giving a press conference that was unhinged. and he fired the attorney general, as expected, but replaced him with a guy that is just going to do his bidding. so this is a recipe for disaster. >> seth: i kn

that would be one you keep an eye on there, and of course this name again, controversy around devin nunesoks pretty safe for him, but if there were a controversy and a big wave, maybe you start to keep an eye on that one, lawrence. >> at the last minute they changed his own polling place in that challenge campaign he's runru runni running. steve kornacki, thank you for that guidance. we'll need that tomorrow night.
