let's get something a little fresher, benghazi. everyone remembers benghazi. attack against two of our government facilities in benghazi. four americans died. their deaths were likely preventable but hillary clinton's state department and the department of defense never mounted a rescue effort to save them. not one mission was made to save the attackers. whatill do not know president obama did that night except get ready to go to a political rally in las vegas the next day. we lost for americans. they were not the only ones left behind. in the aftermath of the terrorist attack at benghazi there is a concerted effort to reflect responsibility for these debts. from future presidential hopeful -- an outspoken member of the citizens commission of benghazi knew there were lies being advanced by hillary clinton's team. simmons appeared dozens of times on the foxnews channel on radio and in print to defend american heroes. he helped provide evidence to the citizens commission on benghazi proving the direct link to hillary clinton that led to their deaths. for his eff

benghazi. which was a coordinated attack against two of our government facilities in benghazi. four americans died, including christopher steele and scum information officer sean smith, and two former seals, including ty woods. their deaths were likely preventable, but hillary clinton' a state department and others never mounted a rescue effort. not one mission was flowed that night to repel the attackers, just a high-speed pass by two f-16's going supersonic that would have disrupted the attack. we still do not know what president obama did that night except get ready to go to a political rally in las vegas the next day. we lost four americans, but they were not the only ones left behind. in the aftermath of the terrorist attack in benghazi, there was a concerted effort to deflect responsibility for these deaths. from future presidential hopeful hillary clinton. wayne simmons, a former cia contractor for over 27 years, and an outspoken member of the citizen's commission on benghazi, there were

once again, you cannot care about how much money went into the benghazi investigation but not care how much money went into this investigation. be consistent across the board. griff: talking about caring about things there are thousands more apprehended on the border. this crisis continues. it is memorial day weekend. officials tell me it's going to be worse they know our border patrol agents are thin and stretched. pete: the other side understands exploit a holiday weekend. griff: we had news overnight a district judge out in california ruling against president trump's using dod money to build 51 additional miles of the wall. this is the u.s. district court judge haywood guilliams jr. case regarding whether the proposed border barrier construction executive branch's lawful authority under the constitution and a number of statutes duly enacted by congress. this is two lawsuits. one brought by california and a smaller group and then rear are a club trying to stop construction in huma arizona. in particular huma is the biggest because they have had more than 50,000 you recall apprehensio

this is bigger than benghazi.s is the under-pinnings of our form of government. >> no one died. >> we don't have a democracy if we have an auto-crat. >> that's an exaggeration. we haven't seen dead bodys. >> obama twiced elected by voters. republicans blocked him from the supreme court. >> this is not a supreme court nomination. they are trying to get his son in prison. >> [overlapping talking]. >> schiff is talking about sending people to prison. >> no, he said he knew nothing about construct of the trump tower. >> enough! juan. there is no collusion. >> you know who benefits, emily. lawyers. >> you, emily. >> we are all kept busy. i agree the function is oversight. this is so beyond oversight. this is a rabid hunting party. all of the resources are depleted and used solely for this one focus. they are just focussing on one defend and everybody else is ignored. a woman said people are asking us to do something. do your job. so these three who introduced this bill to pause the statute of limitations to indict a si

what happened in benghazi, up until -- the communities jurisdictions were doing their job until they were. and frankly when the committees just when it do what their specific, got forced in the benghazi committee and try to set it up in a way that was responsible members to get to the bottom of what and so i think speaker pelosi is going on the same issues. but the first line. let the committees and jurisdictions do your jobs to push them to do their jobs, some will and somewhat. which will dictate what she has to do in the future. >> you are in the leadership when we went to the last impeachment. if you are a leader right now whether in the senate or policy issues, you've got to make a political decision because you want to get stuff done. if an impeachment proceeding opens up is that a crock on legislation completely customer. >> i did set impeachment of president clinton. and if you look at what happened the following impeachment of president clinton his popularity rose dramatically. it didn't hurt him or help. >> so the democrats didn't win the white house in 2000 and some republ

what happened in benghazi, the committees of jurisdiction were doing their jobs until they , weren't.nd frankly, when the committee wasn't doing what they were supposed to do, i really got forced into creating the bought the forced into creating the benghazi committee and tried to set it up with responsible members. and so i think speaker pelosi is going to have to deal with the same issue. but the first line, she's going to go down and say let the , committees of jurisdiction do their job, push them to do their job. some will, some won't which will , dictate what she has to do in the future. mr. todd: you were in the leadership when we went through the last impeachment. if you were the leader right now, whether it is in the senate or in pelosi's shoes, you've got to make a decision. because you also want to get stuff done. if an impeachment proceeding opens up, does that just stop the clock on legislation completely? mr. reid: i did sit in a front row seat in the impeachment of president clinton. and if you look at what happened following the impeachment of president clinton his popu

to come in and under the gun is what he could support because we know i mean he spent 4 years in benghazi fighting the small group of people there with all the support he got from all his allies so this is again the same thing the problem is that innocent people in in tripoli in libya both from their tripoli and also from the troops who they came with have thought they are dying for no reason but for a personal interest and this is really the reality of the issue and so this war can continue for a long time but it got this what support he might get because you have about one and a half 1000000 people living in the city of tripoli. and now clearly they are being bombed they and night innocent people are dying for no reason and this is clearly is a nonsense and higher than that but he has half there has a lot of support from the united arab emirates egypt saudi and i'm telling dries out he will certainly not given as libya now bogged down into another year as long tug of war. oh it can be it can be a can be award for a long time and also the same time of course as you said that makes it he

let me say. >> kennedy: don't compare benghazi to bill barr. >> jesse: who died?an: our country lost big time. >> jesse: democratic hopes. >> juan: i don't know why you say -- don't say congress has every right to exercise oversight. they are making legitimate claims. >> jesse: it's not legitimate. >> juan: it doesn't matter. the constitution says they have the right. >> brian: they want to do their own report. >> juan: normally what you hear from the justice department is let's negotiate, congress. i will give you this much, that much. what bill barr and trump are doing is trying to stiff the whole constitution. >> brian: emily, you are the legal scholar. is that what they are trying to do? >> emily: they are trying to distract us from the real ball which is the fact that everyone is terrified of what the inspector general report will undoubtedly prove which is that our intelligence agencies used unfounded legal reasons to surveil private citizens. you saved oversight, but it's not. it's an attack on our attorney general which i find disgraceful. you bring up fas

of libya where john mccain actually parachuted into benghazi and met with kim bell who was the leader and co-founder of the libyan islamic fighting group long time affiliate of al qaeda in order to kosher this organization before nato intervened well john mccain features in your book because he and the rudy. giuliani and a few others all associated with the group that is know off the terrorist watch list here in the un the united states the m e k do you see them using any k. against the iranian government in terms of asymmetric warfare guerrilla warfare against iran well yeah a lot of these figures also have their names on a lot of the regime change documents in the ninety's which are calling for taking down 7 governments in 5 years and now we're seeing those names checked off the regime change target board and you know now these figures are showing up in washington as well as john bolton who is the head of the national security council of the white house doing high profile well paid speaking gigs for the emmy getting like 40000 or 50000 a pop and what is the emmy kaye well it's an ir

that. >> chris, it -- i mean, why are you pushing back with benghazi.about -- >> because it was a sham and took years and seven different hearings and it was a political charade that -- >> in american lives were lost. >> that is right. and you guys took advantage of that and play d on those lives -- >> so chris -- >> and that is your intention when your intention was to smear and that is why you do it. >> no. >> and now you want your high ground when you were playing low ball. >> let's talk about this president. let's talk about this and kind of focus back here on the issue. >> probably a good move for you. >> unprecedented cooperation, this president is -- was -- as the networks noted when the mueller report came out, unprecedented cooperation. the president didn't exercise or exert executive privilege once during the entire mueller investigation. there were 2800 subpoenas issued, 500 people went before the grand jury and testified. 47 -- listen, 47 white house and campaign staffers, about 1.5 million pages of documents were turned over. really unprece

washington because you both have to navigate decisions whether it should happen oru not with the benghazi hearing maybe you didn't want to do politically they happened and you navigate that. how does that experience that you deal with that pressure when you hold out until you set i can it feels like that's what nancy pelosi is going through does that look like a familiar picture quick. >> what happened with benghazi the committees are doing their job until they weren't quite frankly when they would not do what they were supporters to w do then to set that up in a way that was responsiblep but to look at the facts so speaker pelosi will have that same issue but the first line let the committees of jurisdiction do their job push them to do their job. some will and some won't. which will dictate what she has to do in the future. >> you were in leadership with the last impeachment so if you were leader right now you have to make a political decision because you want to get stuff done if the impeachment proceeding opens up does that stop the clock completely? . >> and the impeachment of presid

of the i mueller report which is pretty rich considering republicans ran six investigations from benghazi from the house of representatives alone and tlooi open probes into the origins of the russia investigation. speak of do-overs, donald trump, jr. will get another chance to explain his actions in the 2016 campaign to the senate intelligence committee. the president's son reached a deal with the committee for a seemingly generous time and subject-limited interview, considering he will avoid the subpoena that had been issued by the republican chairman, richard burr. allies have put significant pressure on burr to drop the subpoena. lindsey graham said he would take the fifth. the trump white house continued to stonewall another investigation as steve mnuchin refused to release the president's taxes, ignoring a clearly written law. >> there is a difference in interpretation between congress and us in the hospital of and us in the department of justice around this law. this is why there are three branches of government. so if there is a difference of e opinion, this will go to the third br

did you forget all the benghazi investigations, all the fast and furious investigations? i'm going to make him a one-term president on day one? do you guys forget? short memories. i remember it. but this president threw a temper tantrum, and there is more shade coming from nancy pelosi, in a letter to her colleagues she says, quote, we wanted to give the president the opportunity to launch an historic infrastructure initiative that could stand in the pantheon of american history alongside the bold initiatives of presidents thomas jefferson, theodore roosevelt, and dwight eisenhower. that's kind of smart for the self-proclaimed student of history. this is a president who really, really does not like to lose. >> you know what, you want to know something, do you want to know something? we always win. we always win. >> well, the dirty little not so secret is, he's not winning. he's not winning. he may have escaped the worst from the mueller investigation with help from his trusty attorney general william barr. the fact is, right now the president is on a losing streak. and it

remember what republican does with the benghazi hearings and the way it changed the perception of hillaryf evidence they were able to pull out. the whole emails came out of that. the polls are not there. you may not move 20 or 30% but you can move two, three, four, five percent an points. i think the failure is to accept this conduct and normalize this conduct. so i don't think it is quite as toxic as i think some democrats fear they might be. >> i think they're afraid what happened to bill clinton. by the way, somebody has to tell me someday what the republicans established that hillary clinton did wrong as secretary of state regarding benghazi. i have never heard a declarative statement of what she did wrong. thank you. you are amazing. you are amazing. thank you for coming on. and charlie, thank you, as always. explosively reporting on concerns raised by anti-money laundering watch dogs at deutsche bank about accounts controlled by mr. donald trump and mr. jared kushner. could that be why the president is suing to stop his bank records from being turned over to congress? more cover up,

ten benghazi investigations. how many convictions, indictments?results from ten benghazi investigations? uranium one, a completely made-up scandal. so, in fact, what's going to happen here is exactly what has happened by all -- with all of the other manufactured, politically driven scandals that the republicans and the defenders of the president cook up, which is that a fair investigation will show that there is absolutely nothing there. >> in terms of your committee, which now is investigating the attorneys for the president and his family, the trump organization for possible obstruction, that's obviously pretty extraordinary. what evidence do you have that's led you in this direction? >> well, i guess the way i would answer that, anderson, is that when you read the mueller report, you realize that he looked hard at what was in his scope of investigation. that is to say, russian contacts, that sort of thing. if you read the mueller investigation, you also see that he did very little in terms of looking at other ways -- and remember, it is this th

otherwise you do what the president did during the hillary clinton e-mail investigation and during benghazi investigation and fast and furious. you turn over the information. that's it. that's the role of the executive branch. this is an unacceptable tempt to elevate the president into a king. we are not going to accept it and we will use every means to prevent this take over from happening. >> you say that, but i want to give you an interpretation of the facts and the actions of congressional democrats as many people seem to get your response. a lot of people think you are terrified of impeaching him and the consensus is it leads to backlash and nancy pelosi said he is baiting you towards it. because you are terrified, you are not going do it, but you have to pretend that that's what you are pursuing and you get the hemming and hawing and kicking the can down the road that amounts to nothing. >> i don't think that's true. obviously it's got big implications to impeach the republicans and impeach bill clinton over trivia compared to the high crimes and misdemeanors that the president is ike

they did to secretary clinton over benghazi over it's over attorney general holder over many other thing over president nixon during watergate, this is something that congress does its part of it's part of the weather you game, but it's part of the constitutional separation of powers. each party has he built ability to should be a check on the other here where the president has asserted executive privilege, refusing to offer witnesses we're really in a place right now where the executive branch started but they are the best arbiter what the constitution should say and that's why we're at this at this very critical juncture right now. >>michael you mentioned that to the republican house was calling no they actually issued a subpoena to eric holder to call him in which he didn't comply with so we're in a similar situation now are we where we have the house with democrats in charge asking republican administration respond they don't respond. how do we get this resolved we go to court does it go to the us supreme court to somebody says somebody to this end of sergeant at arms to go arrest, s

after the continuing investigations with benghazi. i say that because obviously both sides have a political card to play after the election in 2020 coming up. that said, you are looking at, at the end of the day, the most that'll happen is a $10,000 fine, a one year jail sentence. we all know that's not going to happen to the attorney general. >> harris: we know that because it didn't happen to eric holder under barack obama over fast and furious gunrunning operations. that's how we know. >> dagen: despite a border patrol agent losing his life as part of that operation. >> harris: yeah. that's how we know that. it's a little bit of apples and oranges. all due respect, i think it is a clear picture to compare it to ken starr, as you were doing. independent counsel version special counsel. it was that run at it that got the law to change. it's part of 6e, those rules. it's also a telltale sign that in the majority they could at least kick things off among the democrats, to change those grand jury testimony rules if they really wanted to

it is the same ben rhodes at togas the benghazi attack was the catalyst was a video. i do not put a lot of thought into what he says. what i do know is at the top of the fbi, there was what i call the comey cabal purity of comey, mccabe, peter strzok and lisa paige. i think these people put this whole thing together and were out to get the president. i think we also need to look at potentially john brennan and jim klapper. how far he went to the white house i do not know. what i take comfort in is what bill barr said, he will investigate this. lou: right. >> he is concerned about the spine that took place and whether it was the proper predicate for it to begin with in the first place. i think that is the key thing to look at. how high it goes we will see when mr. barr does his investigation. frankly, i think we will learn more in six weeks when michael horowitz gives us the inspector generals report that he has been working on for the past year. lou: i think congressman, you're being somewhat modest about what you already -- you have some advantage over the rest of us
