we are not going to do ten investigations the way they did on benghazi.d, he said i do not believe it is appropriate for people to lie about contacts with russians. on the report comes out, with the american people will learn was that there was plenty of reason to be concerned about the nature of those contacts and the possibility of what those contacts might have meant. so i don't see adam schiff as having done anything at all wrong and in fact supporting himself far more responsibly than i republicans ever did on benghazi and the scandals that they had. >> chris: a lot of republicans cause. if that's what they say adam schiff in the run-up to the mueller report said repeatedly that he thought there was a good chance that president trump had committed a crime. there are some clips of adam schiff in just the last couple of months. >> my takeaways there's a very real prospect on the date the leaves office they might indict him. >> clear evidence. >> the bigger part in question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon

benghazi was based on an attack, the irs with specific incidents. we will look for 50 or 80 people until we find something. i think that's not what the american people have patience for it, it plays to the republican narrative. >> harris: marie, i don't know what the nod means for me. if you are agreeing with brian. so i want to start there. do you agree with what he is saying based on history? of the democrats overreach here? >> marie: there's always a danger of overreaching and they need to be very careful about that. while they could have these investigations they need to keep pushing forward. they will be voting on several bills this week on positive policy items, so those will be happening at the same time. on the investigations -- look, i think it is very clear throughout the last several years that the more information that comes out the more we are showing evidence of the trump organization, or donald trump or himself, or people around him why when confronted with facts. there actually is an oversight role here that congress has not been pla

choice is now or not between a promise just deal improving the prime minister's deal having a no near benghazi or second referendum it's pretty clear now that the choice is leaving with a promise to deal in a few weeks time or having a very long extension more and so the resistance is crumbling or are you just fighting like ferrets in a sack both and says reducing because you can see that mean fifty others voted for the deal last we we didn't vote for it the first time it was very thoughtful it clearly is a change in niger mills this whole process has done britain enormous damage doesn't it in the specially to the health service when the pound sank after the referendum result in excess finances were hit by a huge sums wiped off its balance sheet the collapse of the. the additional cost so far from bracks according to the british medical association and extra one hundred fifty five million pounds never admitted or factored in to your calculations was it why. country voted to leave him out of the even back in the history of the pound your exchanger in the us going up and down but why but we stil

effort is going to do with damaged severely damaged i would happily there's no is anybody here in benghazi who voted to end research cooperation with the european countries with lot of unintended consequence is just i'm not for that but there's no surely more realize that this was going to be on a reason why we don't think we want you we want to research corporation much wider than twenty eight countries don't we so there's no reason why he should refuse to have us cooperate with them isn't it time that there was another general election here in the country needs to hold you to account doesn't it for the for the broken promises and the way that the whole e.u. negotiation has been conducted we had an election not that long ago people weren't too keen on to to have to have that one i'm not sure what a lot. in the one in which you lost your majority in the one in which we got the largest share of the vote that my party howard dean twenty something about years ago lost a majority there was a great result was it wasn't a great result no but i think you can see when you vote share goes up from t

. >> remember they had the benghazi investigation for four years, four years. came up with nothing. the democrats this, not just for political benefits, but because they think something is there that has not been looked at seriously. maybe the mueller report will come out with something better. so far they say, we've been hoos hoodwinked. we think there's more to look at. remember, there are two important goals of congress. one to authorize money. two, to investigate. just like the republicans did with benghazi, you can bet the democrats will try to get to the bottom of this in their mind right now. >> so the beat goes on. thank you, larry. if you want to watch the raw video of president trump talking about the mueller report, it's on our it page at nbc pay a nbcbayarea.com. >>> michael avenatti will not spend the night in jail. he posted $300,000 bond in his embezzlement and extortion case. avenatti is accused of trying to he extort money from nike and threatening to use damaging information against company. tomorrow he said he'd disclose a high school and college basketball scanda

, how many hours of testimony was there on benghazi?ar effort. the irs targeting conservative groups and they gave over lots of information. what's the strategy from the white house? >> i think what wee swe see her are witch hunt part two. they're trying to imply that democrats are bent on impeaching trump. so we're going to see everything tooth and nail. it short of makes sense the way he sparked the mueller probe, the way he starts any investigation. the first thing you have to do in trump's mind clearly is kneecap the investigation and make it seem unfair. that's clearly going on here. and the most predictable thing, he's not going to want to help at all. why would you help people trying to bring you down. >> he thrives on this fight. it kind of plays to his strength. >> it absolutely does. but the first part of what he said, this notion that you can't legislate and investigate at the same time. but i must have missed the white house proposal on infrastructure or the health care bill to protect preexisting conditions. i don't see eit

. >> right, hillary clinton did a great job when she testified before congress on benghazi, but that investigation over the long term really did damage to her candidacy. and i think what democrats are going to try to do here and they're going to do it very surgically and precise is to make this go for a long time and uncover -- and basically do this in front of the public, uncover what is inside of this administration, what is rotten and what is corrupt? and it's going to go until the election, i think. and that is, again, you saw with hillary clinton no matter how -- i thought it was a bogus investigation, but it really did damage to her -- to her approval numbers, favorable numbers, and i think for trump, we're looking at an administration now that much different than hillary clinton, we know for a fact that there is -- i pretty much know for a fact that i think there's is corruption there, that it's rotten, there's been abuse of power, and now it's going to be in front of the american people. thank god. that's what congress is supposed to do, oversight. >> jerry, doug makes an int

that's back to whatever it is there were or what eight house investigations into hillary in the legit benghazi investigations and they all found nothing that's going to be what's really going to be legal but again i just yours is is cocked and one. justice has not been blind but the fact is everybody has been throwing stuff at trump including the most of the media and it's just unfortunate though i go back to this cohen thing coming up on the day that he's meeting come to kim jong un is just disgraceful. on that note pad what do you expect from the kim jong un meeting. well of course we want to see progress here there was no doubt that there was an opportunity for progress and that is because of many years of sanctions i'm glad that the president is taking this opportunity to have a second meeting but this can go to very different directions right now if the president is looking for theatre if he's looking to shore up his foreign affairs credentials if he's looking to distract from the more investigation of these cohen testimonies there might be another photo op there might be another tweet th

number 2, the benghazi hearings.versy, there was one time when a democrat was not inviteed to a one-on-one session with a key witness because the whistle blower was not secure about it leaking out to the media. cummings went crazy. do at this time same way. no legal reason to bring republicans in, but it's the right thing to do traditionally. it came out. they said trump lawyers changed his remarks. they didn't. that turned out to be wrong. they found his original the moscow tower talks stopped in january. that's what he said. >> the cohen hearings at the end of the day, does it help or hurt president trump? i would argue is absolutely helped him. >> greg, what dana said. >> i was not listening. >> if you are not interested -- i am kidding. i am joking. unlike your crazy show in the morning. >> you are sleeping until noon. >> order in the court. does it help anyone to embrace michael cohen? >> no! to your point about adam schiff being shifty, people say he is like joe mccarty and on this witch hunt. he is like charli

and if you look back at benghazi hearings, one of the reasons that benghazi investigation was such a because in looking at what hillary clinton did in reaction to and during the benghazi terrorist attacks, they looked into 15,000 pages of documents where they found this email address they have never seen before that email address led republicans to her private server which probably caused her the presidency. my point is there is a lot going on once you get all this mess going on with cohen and whether or not you can believe him might be a lot of information that is useful. >> bill: getting back to cohen, doesn't he impugn your case? >> absolutely. he undermines himself every day. we learn new information. new factual problems and let's also not forget this is a man who was so desperate he pled guilty to something that two former fec commissioners say wasn't even a crime. >> herein lies another problem. i think my mother says this and a lot of mothers say this to their children you know who you are by the friends you kept. the fact he kept michael cohen around 10 years. >> bill: it's

as someone that thought there was too many benghazi hearings, and that republicans were not responsible oversight members of the oversight committee when they were in charge, i think now the democrats need to learn from that. i realize that can say well look at what republicans did, but they shouldn't. >> but there was so much to investigate, and part of the problem that i don't blame them is if the president would have released his tax file iings or his company in a blind trust, then perhaps this would not be as valid. i don't know if they're handling it publicly the best way they can. this is not the mueller investigation. they have a press strategy. >> democrats could argue listen, we were voted into taking over the house for the reason of oversight, and this is not a fishing expedition. they don't see any one issue that will necessarily take down the president, but this is a fr strategy of a slow bleed. presenting everything he has done and try to show a common pattern. >> all of the different committees on capitol hill was a line including in all of these. congress has the right an

about -- imagine if any of this happened under president obama, remember how republicans treated benghazior example, right? >> the mueller investigation was meant to see if any crimes were committed. the house has a oversight and investigative role. i think if it was framed in that way it gives them a lot of room. they can just say look, we're getting to the bottom of what happened, this is us exercising our authority, and that is what we have been doing moving forward. >> so with the political fallout, what do you do? i think it is absurd for us to try at some point, right? we heard rumors there could be seven unsealed indictments, or we get nothing and one sentence thing. but matthew, this was in the associated press. trump and his allied are trying ing -- they are painting the special council's example of overreach saying it is absurd. it would be a very trumpian thing to do. >> absolutely. it depends on what the report says when the is released. i wonder how many times we can say i don't know. we speak in different languages -- >> i will say it, we don't know, and it is speculation at

we investigated things like what happened in benghazi. that's appropriate, don't you think?s the right thing for us to do. all the missing e-mails with smash cell phones, that's appropriate to investigate. we probably didn't investigate that enough. leland: hey -- >> we are not looking at every business bill barack obama did. leland: certainly brought obama's former personal attorney to testify before you all instead there were inappropriate or committees by him before he was president. you don't think house republicans would've been salivating about? >> i know this. the best witness they thought, their star guy last week by five times to the irs, cheated on his taxes, defrauded banks and lied to congress and they're going to bring him before us to provide testimony. that doesn't make any sense it all to me. leland: okay, fair enough. he comes back for a testimony this coming week now. you also now have the house judiciary committee chairman talking about their investigations. we heard from garrett tenney 60 plus witnesses being subpoenaed. in a way, it seems as though democ

and let's not forget, benghazi and the fall of libya. a total disaster, and a tragedy. we lost the u.s. ambassador three fine americans, and then the obama-biden crew lied about the reason for the attack at the time romney was nipping at their heels in 2012. remember, that was september/october, 2012. and finally, the failed russian reset. russia's annexation of crimea it's moved to eastern ukraine which gave putin power, and a much-needed foreign policy win. i could go on and on and on. obama and biden fully embrace this new world order, and they were loved because they embraced agreements like the trans-pacific partnership and the u.n. climate accords. trump comes in and rejects both. because he believes, rightly they ceded to watch american power and decision-making too far-flung foreign bureaucracy. but biden, oh, he would return things to the old status quo. >> the trans-pacific partnership is another disaster. done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country, expect other countries to pay their fair share for the cost of their defense. americans w

the va scandal, benghazi, fast and furious, those to me seem like legitimate concerns.re are issues regarding adam shift. so little adam shift them i guess might be in trouble because michael: under oath admitted he was colluding or converse aiding with adam shift before his sworn testimony but does he face any issue they are? >> alan: only issues within congress itself. congress is the exclusive judge of the behavior of its own members and members cannot be prosecuted or assumed but what they do pursuant to their job, they are not above the law, that is the law. but congress could look into it and democratic congress probably not going to look into it. look, the american public does not trust congress to do investigations. >> jesse: you can say that again. >> alan: i look for an independent, nonpartisan objective commission like the 9/11 commission to look into the attempt by russian to influence elections in general. the american public would have trust in a credible investigation like that. they are not going to have trust into russian investigations whether conducte

do you think it's funny that americans died in benghazi?o you think it's funny that they died in the fast and the furious? oversight, juan. >> juan: you said it's totally legitimate republicans to illegitimate when democrats do it. >> jesse: it is scale. if there is a dead american, i want congress to investigate it. the only thing that is dead is the democrats' electoral chances in 2020 and that's what it's all about. >> juan: i think you're arguing this president should be immune from accountability. >> jesse: no, i'm not. he's been the most accountable president. >> juan: are you arguing -- >> jesse: more sunlight on this guy than any other president i can remember. >> juan: then you are going if there's a conflict of interest, if he has ties with russia. >> jesse: let mueller decided. i'm willing to look at the mueller report. you know it's not going to deliver the goods. all these other investigations. >> juan: i think you're hopeful but i'm saying congress has legitimate responsibility. why are you so upset when democrats exercise tha
