joining us now, allan lichtman from american university.s is something you know well, my friend. allan, first off, the definition that 530 put out, is that the way you would teach it? >> well, a little bit. maybe the last one. look as i point out in my book "the case for impeachment" you have a constitutional crisis when our institution -- our democratic institutions are being threatened and our checks and balances aren't working. now, the framers understood that a rogue president could crash through our checks and balances and in their wisdom they provided an ultimate safeguard to avoid a constitutional crisis. and that is a constitutional, peaceful remedy, the remedy of impeachment. it is time to begin the impeachment study. not a prosecutor who would serve at trump's pleasure and they take years to do their work and i would say to president trump if you are telling the truth, and there is nothing to any of these allegations against you, then come clean to the house judiciary committee and encourage all of members of your team to testify

i mean i think allan, has penned some arguments on that.sting to hear his passion on it. but listen, ryan, there is a way that republicans can sidetrack this stuff which is to be open to reasonable things. right? to have a fair investigation. to denounce the times when the president really does seem to not understand the basic tenets of our constitutional system. and all of our republican friends understand, i think, that there really has been some kind of disturbing line crossing there. the way to guarantee that it blows up in a plaolitical probl is not to face it now. >> so brian, do you agree that these are self-inflicted problems with this white house? >> well, he's -- this white house is obviously still learning, experiencing a lot of i guess beginner's problems in terms of communications strategies and others. but calling for impeachment, my question to the professor is -- for what? there has been no crime. there's no evidence of any crime. and during the nixon years it was because there was white house counsel, john dean and others,

allan, first to you.this the first time that a president has been under this many investigations at the same time? how does this compare? >> oh, it's uncomparable, unfortunately. look, it took some five years to get anywhere this deep into the watergate investigation. we're at just four months. but there is a way to resolve all this, and it is in the constitution. that's what i wrote about in my book, it is called "impeachment." i'm not saying we should be impeaching the president, but all of these investigations need to be put together, as it was in watergate, in an impeachment investigation by the house judiciary committee that would take into account all potential impeachable charges. collusion with the russians. obstruction of justice. conflicts of interest. and put it all together. here's what i say to donald trump, if what you say is true, that you've never done anything wrong in the campaign or as president, you should welcome an impeachment investigation as a way to clear those thunder clouds hang

let me bring in allan stewart. lyn sweet, washington bureau chief, cnn political commentator and democratic strategist. and former white house ethics lawyer. i'm not sure if you heard my question to phil mattingly, paul ryan does note that he wants these investigations to go forward, including the house oversight investigation, that has now called for the james comey memos. that is a problem for the white house potentially. >> i think what ryan did, was very artful, as you noted, he didn't pile on to the president, but most important, i took his remarks to be encouraging, the house committee to do a vigorous investigation and to do their job and to do the collection of memos which right now that's how we will get to the bottom of it in getting the facts, get the material, and they have subpoena power to do that. i thought that by ryan walking away and backing up the need for an investigation added a lot of importance to the seriousness of what's going on, because after all, impeachment proceedings start in the hous

gobernabilidad y seguridad en mÉxico. >>> hay que esperar que negocien el plan y otros temas. >>> allane otra, para comenzar tengo por aquÍ un poco de pollo que lo vamos a sofreÍr con sabor y gusto usando un poco de chile en polvo, chile regular, el que mÁs le guste, importante que el chi po chipotle asÍ que lo vamos a celebrar. >>> es una cosa de hoy en dÍa en todos lados, entonces pollito a sofreÍr, sal, eso. chile cuÁl? >>> chipotle en polvo. >>> muy bien, de ahÍ? >>> (risas). >>> un poquito de comino. >>> para el aroma un poquito. >>> entonces comenzamos a aromatizar el pollo, sofreÍr huele increÍble, voy a empezarlo a picar chiquito para terminar con este que tengo acÁ, vamos a mostrar, fÍjese pollo picado y tiene todo el sabor de las especias, y vamos a la salsa, la salsa es una salsa roja porque son con salsa roja, quÉ vamos a hacer, tengo por aquÍ unos chileno rehidratados, voy a colocarlos directamente en uno licuadora, un poco del aguae la cocciÓn del chile. chicos los concentrados cÓmo vamos. >>> este chile no pica mucho tiene notas dulces como ciruela pasa que es deshidratad

attorneys who are ready to say whatever trump says is reason for impeachment, but, you know, it's funny, allan, who goes about as a standpoint of a civil libertarian has said on this station, many times, there has not been obstruction. there has not been a crime committed. obstruction would be tampering with a jury or intimidating a witness. that has not taken place. and if james comey as the director of the fbi and this guy who's a seasoned pro in washington thought that he was being intimidated, why did he not go to somebody promptly after that meeting? february 14th, why did he run out and say the president tried to intimidate -- >> that is a question. you're right, that's a question that's been asked a lot. i don't mean to cut you off, i want to make a moment here as we look at these pictures, we're seeing the president move to this document signing. we understand the white house says it's a significant expansion of the over seven decade long security relationship between the united states and the kingdom of saudi arabia. the president and secretary tillerson will attend a signing ceremony

. >> reporter: the professor was allan's advisor, and a few years later the fbi hired her assigning her to the field office. she was entitled individual a in court documents. green was able to track the terrorist using three skype accounts. but it turns out the fbi new of only two. green had sole access to a thud skype aaccount. and in june 2014, green told her supervisor she was making a trip to germany to visit family. instead she flew through to toronto to istanbul, crossed the syrian bordwer the help of the terrorist and disappeared. there in isis controlled syria reports say dan yal green met up with the terrorist and not only married him but told him she was employed with the fbi and the fbi had an investigation into her activities. professor allen says any it tale of terrorism simply couldn't involve the danielle he knew. >> i would be dumbfounded by that. i don't think there's anything in her background that would suggest to me or any people working with her here, proclivities in that direction. so, yes i would be surprised. >> reporter: so shortly she had a change of heart send

certainly -- allan was saying we will never know. he will either indict or fold up shop. i don't know that's the case. >> i can tell you the fear in the white house is that there will be answers to questions we didn't know we had. that's the fear of a special prosecutor. the other thing that i want to add to the idea of him lawyering up, that my understanding is that the advice that he is going to get is he should do that immediately, not just for his own personal legal reasons but also to protect the white house staff in a way they haven't been protected. your friend was taking all the incoming during the clinton administration, at least the white house staff could deflect to him in a way this white house staff has not been able to do. >> when the white house put out statements, three sentences. no collusion. i look forward to being resolved quickly. i will never start fighting for what matters. the sentence not in there, i and my staff and i will cooperate fully. he is going to have to. he is making a huge mistake by not by not volunteering he will cooperate fully. ther

amy: go to democracynow.org to see our full interview with journalist allan nairn about how backers of donald trump have joined army officers and a vigilante street movement linked to isis to orchestrate the massive street demonstrations that brought down governor ahok and jakarta -- in jakarta and eventually sought to bring down the indonesian president. in france, hundreds of activists marched to the party headquarters of president-elect emmanuel macron to deliver a petition signed by more than 30,000 people demanding macron support workers rights and progressive programs. this is activist laurent berthet. >> today we want to tell emmanuel macron that a lot of people in france did not vote in his favor, but first and foremost come against marine le pen, and he does not reflect our hopes for real transition and ecological, economic, and social level. dealing thing he has for us is his openness to europe. amy: back in the united states, the interior department froze all meetings and work for than 200 advisory boards and committees last week -- about a third of which were related to sci

. >> as you well know, allan, your good friend larry tribe is part of an effort now to start building a case for -- >> we're on emails back and forth. >> i'm sure you are. but based on the idea if the democrats were to take back the house in 2018, a democratic majority could then bring charges against president donald trump. but there are serious people who are talking in these terms now. >> lawrence, how does the justice department factor into all of this? the attorney general has recused himself from anything to do with the russian investigation. and the comey firing, they both answer to the president. it seems fairly complicated. >> i don't know what allen is talking about when he says not to muddy the water with legalities here, that's the crux of the issue. considering the fact that the fbi does not disclose the existence of an investigation, so it's not halted or impeded in the fashion that it is. but remember, you've got andy mccabe, who's the head of the fbi now, saying that there was no effort to obstruct the investigation, you have to balance that, against the fact that you
