he didn't have to make a judgment on the fly. >> bob barr, to you, you have criticized the impeachment of the president. you've called it a democratic sham. but john kelly is hardly a democrat, and he is backing with these comments, the very foundation of the impeachment. do you disagree with this take? >> it doesn't make any sense to me what the general is saying because vindman was not given an order to do anything. by all accounts, he simply overheard a conversation and then he -- >> so, bob, i would just jump in there with the context for people who haven't read the entirety of the comments. the idea is, if you are, you know, a lieutenant colonel, if this is your position and you hear something, that you know is wrong, it is your duty to report it. that's what he's saying. report it through the chain of command. >> he overheard the president who is the commander in chief and who is, in fact, in charge of u.s. foreign policy on a conversation with a foreign leader talking about u.s. policy with regard to that country. the colonel apparently interpreted what the president was saying

second question bob barr says something more profound and you know it's you. and many young people have reacted with violence as the position of a stereotype in many countries means that they face lives with fewer opportunities than their parents. and. indeed. i. think. one of the strong narratives in the western world about these faraway places is that they really literally waiting to come in and leisure violence that is already there. in many ways it's actually insulting to these parts of the global south where the youth themselves these largely very normal lives and their frustrations are of a different nature. out of the front of you because of. the moment you. will hear. some blokey. of opportunity. shooting and then the world of the do that because of the way it was it will be mushy to do. them at least in that milky juking it has to. be. the key here is that appearance obesity in the head that. did all. of what they. did europe. before. they lifted men only with. so little off one. with. their frustrations are about developing and by education and by ge

the attorney general bob barr basically rejected the whistleblowers claim rejected that there was anything wrong here decided not to open an investigation into the call was selenski and essentially shut it down this was in the national interest i'm very sorry but when you're talking about holding up aid to an ally that is in the in the national interest this is not about president trump being willing to have his own election just codified by a foreign entity jack a republican so this is of essentially said is that ok with forwarded to ference in u.s. elections but it's ok if a president bends the rule rules for his own a political game. are you saying the democrats said that when they endorsed hillary clinton in the made up dossier and had no interest in. connecting the dots between the hillary clinton campaign the d.n.c. and the phony cia and people like alexandra cook to lupa who it minute she was working for d.n.c. and working with the ukrainian government to dig up dirt on donald trump so you know i think we need to just look at the facts there what we do know that i did the president

what if he called up bob barr and said what's going on? that would have been a scandal. needs to be reined in significantly. bill barr has fallen into a trap laid for him by these prosecutors. now they created another scandal laid for them in the coup. all this passes. it will come down to they are concerned that barr might actually do the right thing. -and they want to stop him from prosecuting the criminal gangs. >> i think it's clear, too, the radical dimms, the deep state are beginning an effort to stop this president from fulfilling his charge now. have you heard all the talk about he's vindictive, he's vengeful? how about he's bringing justice. these people were trying to destroy this man, his family, the presidency. and to do it in front of the national left-wing media which has sold out. and to be a check against such corruption. who a federal court just said publicly, we can't believe a darn thing the fbi is telling us on fisa warrants. and we have the attorney general complaining about the president's tweets. it's remarkable. lou: i'm sure they are bringing ove

many of them have reservations about the project one is horsehair bob barr mental engineer who has spent years researching the amazon. he says the network of waterways here has shifted constantly for millions of years. we've got plenty on and they even think there's more to their lives even. want to try to put more saving time on their. bond and i'm one of the more than that we never. had a child here so we don't know now that's why he's begun evaluating samples satellite images and other measurements at a survey like this takes time and he says the government doesn't want to wait at the same time the government's own surveys are inadequate are the commercial interests involved simply too powerful. basically i mean what i believe that the last. time thanks i think they want to be named black. cause you know people want to be nice to think that maybe showing that maybe you don't need to pay for it maybe not truly believe it but you know i think you don't buy that. dredging the river at the wrong place could have disastrous consequences he says it could upset the ecological balance and in

. >> trump has done everyone here an enormous, enormous favor by acting so blatantly or by bob barr -- bill barr, acting so blatantly or his henchman now the acting u.s. attorney because there isn't a senate-confirmed one. by doing this, they've kast light on the cases where people are paying less attention to. the head of blackwater, he has sentencing decisions to make, whether there's decisions to proceed with the rudy giuliani matter. suddenly it's a pattern. suddenly, everybody knows. we have this usual pattern where trump people say the president had some semi normal, semi lawful reason and the president then goes on twitter and says sorry, just in case the videotape evidence was blurry, i'm going to put fingerprints all over the crime scene so you all know i did this thing. >> i'm the president. >> i, the president, in order to protect someone who knows a lot about my relationship with wikileaks and, therefore, the russians, i, the president, am going to intervene in this case and that may remind you i'm intervening in other cases that get less attention and may deserve it. >> c

bob barr was white house counsel, he says the president should not be able to command this loyalty whenonflict concern something is from the midwest the professionalism and independence of the justice department and involves the case in which the president has a direct personal interest. they say his tweet was a message to the doj to take better care of roger stone. >> the fake news loves to drum up ridiculous narratives to get everyone talking about something that is completely beside the.. the point is the prosecutors in this instance were absolutely malicious, targeting was so excessive. if you look at the comparison between roger stone's sentencing recommendation from prosecutors that should have the interest of justice, not the interests of the democratic party at mind than this 7-9 year sentencing recommendation is absolutely excessive and outrageous which it wasn't signed off on by the doj. they were fully aware of this. they said this can't stand so to think donald trump had something to do with it is fake news again and something that the american people should be outraged beca

it has nothing to do with bob barr.s everything to do that with these prosecutors who are acting like their own little team, independent of the rule of law, to target president trump, to try to vindicate the mueller scam and slap at trump after his vindication by acquittal in the impeachment thing. this is all about -- >> tucker: you are right. if they sent him to prison, they will use the fact he went to prison as a way to claim the russia investigation was real. this man needs a pardon before he -- >> quickly -- >> tucker: i'm sorry, we are totally out of time. >> trump should pardon everyone caught up in the mueller scheme. >> tucker: i agree with that. particularly roger stone. thank you. most of the time, fortunately, the justices and does what it is supposed to do. case in point, jussie smollett and the creepy porn lawyer both learning right now they are in trouble. probably for good reason. nancy grace toys 'r' us toys "r" joins usafter the brea. >> tucker: we have news tonight from the ongoing saga of creepy por

seeming to indicate that bob barr, bill barr had a direct hand in the justice department's move to undercut prosecutors' recommendations to sentence trump ally roger stone. they wanted stone to spend 7 to 9 years in prison for convictions, we should note, on several charges including lying to congress and witness tampering. hours later, trump called that very unfair and the sentencing request was watered down. now four prosecutors who won that conviction have quit the case. >> clearly we have a lot to get to. let's begin with the results in new hampshire. phil mattingly is here. what do you think we should focus on when we look at how this all shook out? >> i want to start with the top two. if you go back to 2016, bernie sanders just dominated new hampshire. this was a different race, a different field. different money, different organizations. different results. but there's a reason bernie sanders won. bernie sanders won the three largest townships in the entire state. ran up some numbers there. that's obviously important for him. not unlike 2016, he also won big public university towns. a

a few weeks ago i talked to bob barr, who have one of the lead impeachment managers in the clinton impeachment trial and i asked him, you know, you knew how this was going to go, would you have done it differently? would you have still brought the charges? he said yes. it was the principle of the thing in his mind to do. i think this is adam schiff's speech to the country and to history about why he did what he did. >> i think the house would be remembered better in this moment than a clinton moment. what has been the legacy of that? how pa ththetic that clinton pu himself in that position and what a waste of time. >> i think on the substance you're probably right. i think it's too early to say how the house is going to be remembered here. >> no, not here. i'm saying versus clinton. how can they be remembered as poorly as going after somebody for a blue dress? >> like i said on substance i think that's one thing. on the process, i think it's too early. i think the house may have a tough time in history justifying how they did things here, justifying doing such a quick investigation, cutting it

marie hartman, executive director of serve america pac, byron york with the washington examiner and bob barrnager for the republicans way back when in that last trial. congressman, thanks for coming in. >> sure. ed: congressman, i'm going to start with you. we had congressman andy biggs on at the top of the show and and e says, frankly, he thinks it's petty. they know the i acquittal is coming, but they didn't want to give him that victory before the state of the union tuesday. >> i think that's true, but we could see this coming. it also provides, what, four days, i suppose, for any further so-called bombshells from john bolton's book to be leaked out. so, you know, it would have been nice to have allowed president trump to present himself to the american people at the state of the union having this finished, but, you know, it's the way this whole thing's played out. the democrats want to drag it out as long as possible. ed: yeah. interesting. marie, how do you respond to that as a democrat, the idea that nancy pelosi held this up for 33 days and then as it all played out, the president was

the second outfoxing was bill barr versus bob mueller.ly in the view of many of the members of the team, a tragic moment because the person who was working in a 1950s dragnet just the facts, justice department blind justice scales of justice, that was mueller. the person operating in the trump world, twitter, grabbed the megaphone, own it. was bill barr. they were friends, i don't know where they are now. they are peers they go to each other's children's weddings. bill barr was operating one way and got the best of bob mueller. >> we have a lot of people in the audience were really worried about you guys in terms of your personal safety and how hard you work. >> thank you guys. [laughter] >> there's numerous questions who are late, they see you on msnbc, how do you stay up so late? do you guys sleep? are you worried? i think the security question is interesting. have you guys had credible threats? has this reporting ever put you in situations that make you feel unsafe? >> without getting into much detail there have been minutes where we h

quote, congradilations to ag barr for taking a charge of a case that was toetally out of control. even bob mueller lied to congress. fact check. robert mueller didn't lie to congress. of course he didn't. but there is evidence the trump barr wrecking ball has crushed career prau career prosecutors in the sentencing of flynn as well. quote, while they first recmoaned up to six months. now they believe probation would be appropriate. in light of reporting like that, that democrats on the house judiciary committee announced they expect barr to testify before their committee in march and face questions about what they call a concerning pattern of conduct in legal matters relating to the president. and by then, they might even have more to add to their ajendsau. in the last hour, trump notably not ruling on a pardon for his former associate, roger stone. >> i want to say that yet, but i tell you what, people were hurt viciously and badly by these corrupt people. i want to thank the justice department for seeing this horrible thing. and i didn't speak to him, by the way, so you understand. they

bob along with his barr tay agency are on point for that and done greating work and this is an interest of mine for a long period of time. it is not just nation the vaccine but it is scaling up so it is engineering and chemical engineers all of the things that vaccination product making sure that's domestic as we see in any crisis first thing another country does will be cut off international supply but we have to be self-sufficient in terms of that and again from a research point of view, and you've heard tony speak about this. we are making realing progress in a, quote, universal flu vaccine one that may not be absolutely universal. but it will mitigate the need to have seasonal vaccines every year. so they'll have broad protective coverage that will be a game changer. once that is here, don't see one tomorrow -- not going to be next year but there's tremendous research progress in clinical trials ongoing on potential universal flu vaccines. so there's a lot of activity in flu i just want to reminding people get your flu shot, at your best protection along with good hand wash and hygi

barr has been in defending the president in the past. he walked president trump through the entire ending of 9 russia investigation. remember that summary of bob muell mueller's findings that didn't reflect the findings. the use of executive privilege in denying congress specific documents when it comes to the ukraine investigation. all of that in mind barr is speaking out against the commen comments. congratulations to bill barr for taking charge of a case that was out of control and perhaps not even been brought. evidence now clearly shows that the mueller scam was brought and tainted, even bob mueller lied to congress. we could spend time fact checking that claim. there's much in that tweet that's incorrect. the president has a lot of confidence in william barr. he said in an interrue that his life would have been a lot easier had he hired barr before hiring jeff sessions to be his attorney general. >> i suspect the president is not happy with what the attorney general said. i'm sure he's going to be even more unhaep when he sees all the coverage that this has generated. we know he does follow all this stuff very closely. boris sanchez, we'

from attorney general bill barr over his arrangement to look into what rudy giuliani has been digging up in ukraine. with me to talk about that and a lot more, democratic senator bob start there because bill barr has now confirmed, yep, we're looking at what rudy giuliani has brought back, but we're looking at it with a skeptical lens. what do you make of that? >> well, i don't even understand why rudy giuliani has a special vehicle into the state department -- excuse me, into the department of justice to ultimately present his dirt. i mean, rudy giuliani, whose list of conflicts is as long as his list of foreign clients who we still don't know who is paying him, and who we know previously dug up dirt on ambassador yovanovitch and presented it to the state department only for it to be totally false. so why does he uniquely have a special vehicle into the justice department? >> i hear you. i hear you. and the pushback has been there and the response from bill barr this week was that we have a, quote, obligation to basically open the door to anyone who wishes to provide us with information. so, i mean, where do you go from there? i'm sure they're looking at it. what

this is the same bill barr who stood up and said bob mueller's investigation resulted in a finding ofo obstruction, no collusion. and then bob mueller had to actually stand up and contradict the attorney general of the united states. and, you know, donald trump saying, i could interfere if i want but i choose not to. what was that 2:00 a.m. tweet when he lashed out at the career political prosecutors who said seven to nine years is exactly the right sentence for roger stone? the president lashed out and said it's a travesty of justice, a miscarriage, and it will not stand. if that's not interfering, i don't know what is. >> since so many colleagues are in vegas, what are the odds bill barr resigns? >> it seems unlikely to me. it's right to say the white house is very fond of bill barr. president trump is a big fan. he may not have loved the way the attorney general gave his interview to abc. but he -- the white house's initial reaction was that it didn't bother him. the president may have pushed back just a little bit, but in general, particularly contra contrasting him with his previ

. >> so this came out after a attorney general barr's summary of bob mueller's report.before the report itself -- correct. so the author of this was unaware of all a of the findings that mueller had. i really think this is in the opinion category. i understand the president of ans mousty but sue prnlly which i don't think he wants to do as sitting president. >> so -- and we heard the president last night during his press conference say we'll see it work through courts. meanwhile yesterday administration got a big win in the second court of appeals where they said, about the administration was right to say to sanctuary city if you do not follow sanctuary policies, we're not going to give you money bunch of state sued now they, the court say the administration has the opportunity to say no dough for you. >> looked up by four appellate court four of them have said administration can't add a new condition to the recipient of funds that wasn't there when the funds were authorized. the the second circuit which governs new york said opposite yesterday, because this goes to the

>> well, what's going on is we're seeing piece by piece bill barr and the president trying to undo a lot of bob mueller's work and what bob mueller was doing because, of course, mueller is the big enemy of donald trump, and what we saw yesterday was an attorney general effectively saying, giving advanced notice to the white house, white house, donald trump stop tweeting and shut up, so i can do what i need to do which is what you want me to do anyway. he knows and trump knows, wink, wink, that they're in sync with each other on most things. now, today the charges against or any of the department declined to charge andy mccabe of the fbi with anything, so that might upset the president. but in the case of flynn and stone, you have effectively barr doing the president's bidding. >> david, i know you're fired up about this. what are you thinking? >> well, look, with respect to the declination that mr. mccabe with whom i had the privilege ochl woof working, the department applies law and policy to facts on the merits. if he deserved a declination that's exactly what they should have done. with resp

bob mueller's report. and didn't tell the rest of us for three or four weeks what was in that report. so it is time and time again. bill barr has shown us who he is over and over again. if anybody doesn't believe it now, shame on them. >> yeah. and i want to say one word about why this is so important. our prosecution system depends on people having trust that it is not political. you're not using the awesome machinery of justice and imprisonment and prosecutors to go after the enemies of the president. or to help the friends. that's how i always saw it. in two different administrations of the justice department. i saw so many instances in which the politics said to do one thing, or even the white house's desires, the president's desires. the justice department said no, that's not the right thing to do for the country and the interests of the united states government this president, it seems like the reverse. >> they, people who are republicans, democrats, career. this has been tested over and over again. generally speaking, the apparatus and the structure and the spine of the justice department has survived this sort of ef

barr carry trump's water. we've seen the whitewashing that he did of the bob mueller report. how he manipulated the timing so as to help trump. he has helped trump. he has covered up for trump. he has been complicit with trump on so many occasions. and now he comes and protests? so it's very strange to see bill barr speaking out. it's even more strange to see donald trump not speaking out against somebody that's speaking out against him. >> so what do you think is happening? >> i don't know. it almost feels like synchronized swimming routine between the two of them. and i do think there is a very unique problem for bill barr now, and that he's got people resigning on the spot. and the morale at the justice department, you probably know better than i do, has got to be on the floor. >> maybe this was just that. maybe this was just a face-saving measure on the part of bill bar and a department-saving measure. >> i think it was a face-saving measure. i think it was, you know, also -- i suspect that he -- that trump and the white house heard from some senators who have now enabled

barr for t was totally out of control and perhaps should not have been brought. evidence now clearly shows that the mueller scam was improperly brought and tainted, even bob mueller" kennedy, too much? >> kennedy: from the president, i don't know it's too much anymore. i don't know what's considered the official presidential record. none of that is surprising. when i think of obstruction of justice and whether or not these things are metered out equally, i look at what certain people and the fbi did in terms of omitting key facts when they were applying for those fisa warrants. carter page was deemed a spy, even though he was working with the cia and they kept that kind of information out of a very critical document. on several documents after that. how is that not obstruction of justice? i agree, roger stone has done some crazy stuff. he's been through the legal process. he is incarcerated right now. it's not like the president is just interfering -- >> matt: but should he die in prison? and pico to prison for a year. >> melissa: harris, does undermine our confidence? >> harris: here in social political environment. i don't know i could speak to what undermines
