tonight's other report comes from "vanity fair" writer howard blum, and it's about the controversial oval office meeting back in may between donald trump, russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov and then ambassador to the u.s., sergey kislyak. a day after it took place james comey was fired, a day which american media journalists were barred and russian press journalists were allowed in. in a report, blum writes about a covert israeli mission to stop an isis bomb plot described to him by israeli intelligence sources. that mission was then disclosed to the russians by president trump. blum also writes in the article, quote, there are some petulant voices in official washington who insists that the president's treachery was deliberate, part of his long time collaboration with the russians. it is a true believer orthodoxy, one that predicts the meeting will be damnening in an indictment that robert mueller, the special counsel, will ultimately nail to the white house door. with that let's turn to our lead off panel on a wednesday night. jill winebanks is back with us. attorney, form ass

she'll say oh, because miss blum isn't here, some other bizarre excuse. the bottom line is you broke the law. the district attorney said so, and now, you want to go back, and you want to hang it on the sunshine ordinance task force, like they're the problem. and you want to get rid of the sunshine ordinance task force like they're the problem. the problem is not with the task force, it's with you, because the law says you're supposed to enforce what they find. the good government guide, as i pointed out to you earlier says you're supposed to make your decisions based on the evidence and the law, but when we had my hearing last month, you didn't even look at the law. the task force did. that's why the task force ruled 11 times that in the minutes means in the minutes, because they read the law. but you don't want to read the law because it results in you doing something that you don't want to do. you don't like my comments, and the reason i fought for eight years to get the 150 word summaries is because i was tired of people who didn't like the comments ju

democratic senator richard blum sen that will is calling for the senate judiciary committee to immediately subpoena donald trump jr. he wants the president's son to publicly testify about the extent of these communications. he joins me now the so, nor, trump junior's attorney says this is much ado about nothing, that this information has already been provided to congress and they're not worried about it. what specifically do you want to know? >> what i want to know is the full range and content of all the communications that took place. what we see here likely is just the tip of the iceberg. there's no assurance that it is all of the communications between donald trump jr. and the wikileaks, which by the way, is characterized by the cia director, president trump's own kraib director as a hostile intelligence service abet by the russians. so here was donald trump, jr. actively engaged with a known russian agent. i want him to be subpoenaed to testify in public about all his communications. i want there to be sums of all the relevant documents because there's no assurance, none whatsoever th

joining us now, iowa congressman ron blum.the house oversight committee which is already investigating this deal. why is it taking so long for the justice department to get around to thinking about going after hillary clinton? >> good morning, stuart. or should i call you the right honourable mr. varney as karl rove admonished yesterday? stuart: no, stuart will do just fine. >> overall, stuart, one of my biggest concerns, i've been here three years now, i have seen, and witnessed first-hand, the politicization of our justice department, and i grew up in an america, i'm 62 years old, that always felt, always thought, that our justice department was above politics and i am really concerned about that. now when i talk to the voters in my district in eastern iowa, stuart, they feel like there is two justice systems in anymore. one for average common people like us and one for the powerful and politically-connected and the reason they feel that way because i think there is actually two justice systems. stuart: what will we do here?

joining us now, iowa congressman rod blum.ut who did what in congress and reveal it? is that what your legislation is all about? >> first of all, good morning. the right honourable, mr. stuart. it is good to be back on your show again. as karl rove admonished us the way you should be addressed. so i am following his orders. stuart: okay. >> yeah, back in iowa over the thanksgiving break, traveling eastern iowa, people are absolutely outraged by what has happened with the sexual harrassment and over $17 million, stuart, of settlements paid out in absolutely those names should be made public. first of all. secondly, folks in iowa say this money should be paid backs to the taxpayers. i can't argue that. thirdly, this practice has to end. quite frankly we did a little digging into this, stuart. it is more than $17 million because many of these claims were settled with a, a going-away bonus, if you will, a termination clause, if you will and it was, those were not included in the settlement costs. so it is probably well above $17 m

blum: as ronald reagan said, we don't have a trillion dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough. we have a trillion dollar debt because we spend too much. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas seek recognition? without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. johnson: thank you very much. mr. speaker, the republican tax reform bill coming to the floor this week raises serious questions about the impact that this legislation will have on middle-class families. our ability to invest in our transportation and infrastructure and students' ability to attend college. my home town, dallas, texas, and every municipality in the region, has written objections to how they are affected. for one, the g.o.p. tax plan eliminates many tax deductions that are favorable to middle-class americans, such as the medical expense deduction and state and local income and sales tax deductions. these important deductions help middle-class families lower their tax liability and put more money in their pockets for everyday needs of

blum. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. blum: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman from california for yielding and thank him for his time managing today's floor debate. mr. speaker, i rise in strong support of h.r. 1074, the bill i first introduced in the 114th congress, which would repeal the 1948 law that granted the state of iowa criminal jurisdiction of offenses committed by or by the sac and fox tribe of the mississippi in iowa. prior to this 1948 law, the tribe had largely policed itself and there was little, if any, federal law enforcement on the tribe's land. historically determining who may exercise jurisdiction over crime in tribal communities is complex. generally, crimes committed by or against indians in indian country are under the jurisdiction of the united states pursuant to various federal statutes. the 1948 act was passed at a time when the federal government was attempting to shift its responsibility and obligations from tribes to the respective states. in 1953, congress passed the law commonly called public law 280, transfe

anything new time magazine also came out with this same report back in 2014, and back then both gene blum disputed it and fred heran bensalem public safety director disputed it. is there a big debate that continues in year three. here's the intersection. since the initial report from time in 2014 it is freshly paved but whenever you see this here and it is in the crosswalk, that is after an accident when they are making markings but since we have been here we have seen three people jaywalking in the street and then up the road there i see somebody walking street road to the right, right now and the left hand shoulder up there up street road, to the left, right past the poll there, people are walking in the street and that is the problem, that is why you have fatal accidents there four lanes on both road with turning lanes on each side of the two middle lanes. since we got here as we were approaching, we stopped for red light and guy that was behind us passed us to go through red light so you have that problem it is quite a long pedestrian walk but they have made it simple. greg, come back

. >> senator king, your colleague, senator richard blum menthal, called for an inspector general investigationsomething that you would support? >> the inspector general is actually i think a very important part of our government. these are independent investigators that are at every federal department and look into all kinds of potential abuses by federal officials and they are independent so i think that might be necessary but my instinct -- and again, i'm reacting on less than a day worth of information, but my instinct is that the commerce committee of the u.s. senate, which did the confirmation, would be the place to at least begin asking these questions. >> senator angus king, thank you so much for your in the moment reaction to that story and others. we hope you'll come back to "kasie dc" another time. we'd love to talk to you again. >> glad to, kasie, thank you. >>> next, the latest on the investigation into the terrible shooting that we have been covering in texas, right after this. in situations like this, there's no time for distractions. it's not enough to think i'm ready. i need to

during waends meeting, oregon congressman earl blum men our questioned chairman kevin brady on revenue estimates. here's a look. >> mr. chairman, a personal privilege. >> yes, sir, the gentleman's recognized. >> on monday i raised concerns about discrepancies in terms of an answer i got from mr. bar to about whether or not there was a loophole in terms of the treatment of the pass-through entity. at the same time being told, i think, it was kind of a convoluted answer but it seemed like mr. bartal was saying no, the committee was issuing a statement saying that that loophole did exist, that businesses could claim deductions when employees couldn't. i brought that to you and to mr. bartal and said i didn't want to blind side anybody but this seems like a big deal because it has a tremendous potential of changing the revenue estimate. so i left that. i raised it yesterday, mr. chairman, seeking clarification because it appeared to be a direct counter diction between what i heard from joint tax and what your committee put out. i am -- you're rushing towards wrapping this thing up while yo

blum blumenauer here. he won't give a different issue?no, i think it's fair i examine the response. >> this has been a day full of suspension for members on our side. the suspense has been based on aepgsz and alteration in the schedule that is by standards that we agreed to earlier in the week. but have kept us here late tonight. in a good faith effort, members on our side began to curtail their amendments. and they came to the conclusion that they would prioritize what they felt most strongly about. and we started with about -- almost 100 amendments. after working our way through some of them, we came to the conclusion that 60 made a good deal of sense. and right now based on prediction, it looks like we may only get to 22 of those amendments, even though we caucused and said, look, in order to find a common purpose with the majority, anticipating a substantial change in a manager's amendment. we wanted to get right to the crux of these tax issues that separate the two sides. we came here beginning on monday with the walk-through, with o
