the need has been reporting about the average voter and other feel about the mueller report, or bob mueller or they don't know, either they don't know if you don't care. they did a list of issues that they care about, and literally 0% said mueller. as the mueller investigation get whitey think they're such a disconnect between what voters care about and what the media choose to cover? >> guest: because the media are not covering news anymore. news is a very subjective thing. leslie mitchell who was walter cronkite long time producer, a book, half of with his days as a newspaperman and he asked in the print media, what is news? peaceable news is what the editor says it is. the second half with television. he said what is news? the answer was used in what the process it is. that's in fact, what news is. what cnn and company and wanted to be news is that this was collusion and bob mueller was going to uncover it. and what happened is all a long american people have been yawning. we don't buy that we don't see anything here. just like climate change. climate change is another one. we've been se

not like bob mueller would. >> johanna: i don't think even bob mueller was about politics this time, that anyone was going to blame him one way or another. everything is fractious. i think we all need to flip the script a little bit more. and read the words of someone without assigning them to a political party or the person that they are -- so if we have the script and we have the call from president trump, then you can do that. and you can evaluate it on its premise. >> harris: kennedy, do you think we need the transcript of that call? >> kennedy: i think we are getting close. we have to be careful not to be pulled down into the weeds and the particulars that this allows from seeing the bigger picture. i look at this, when i step out of the two coparty trench and i'm in no-woman's land, where both parties going to eastern europe or any sort of influence? because it doesn't mean the president -- he obviously operates different than any other president. i think president obama was a prototypical president in that he comported himself in the way that we assume most presidents do. this

bob mueller gets named special counsel. he wastes $30 million of taxpayer money, 22 month investigation. he sits there just a few weeks ago and gives the same darn answer. these guys over here, they don't care. they don't care. they don't want to figure out how the false accusation happened. they just want to drag people in front of this committee and keep trying to find some way they can go after the president. go back to the process that the ranching member raised. did you testify in front of the senate intel committee in 2017? >> yes. >> you testify in front of the house intelligence committee in 2017? >> yes. >> and you went before the special counsel and answered his questions in 2018, is that right? >> it is. >> you did that all voluntarily? >> yes. >> no subpoena? >> no, sir. >> said, i'm willing to comply. answer all the questions you got. >> yes. >> in your opening statement, how many hours did you sat in front of those various committees? >> more than 20. >> for this committee, did you get a better from this commi

bob mueller. get a line open to the vice president and the white house situation room. to the crew of air force one i said go back and get on the plane. we are going to have to get out of here. to the secret service, i said, prepare, get the motorcade going. to the acting communications director on the trip i said -- get some remarks written for the president. we have 650 people in a gymnasium. the president will have to say something to them but he cannot say anything we do not know to be the truth. the president came into the holding room after about evan and half minutes. the first thing he said was, get the fbi director on the phone. he is right here, mr. president. i watched the president step up to his responsibility. i am convinced that when he was sitting on that chair, he focused on his oath of office. preserve, protect, and defend. and that is where i believe he became president. david: so the rest of that day's history. >> i feel no fear in raising it with you because we all promised we would never forget. it is an iconic photograph. i am not iconic. [laughte

but what about anything outside the purview of, say, those hours he spent with bob mueller? >> i think anything outside of what he said with robert mueller is probably off limits. i think we need to be vigilant on that, because in reality jerry nadler, the chairman of this committee, he gave a very specific set of iterations of boundaries. if he is going to set the boundaries, we need to make sure he stays within those boundaries. we are going to watch that very carefully and probably will have to raise some objections if he tries to walk beyond that. >> harris: we've been talking about impeachment, and democrats now want to impeach the president, they want to impeach justice kavanaugh. these terms, though, mean different things in different settings. what are we looking at today? this isn't really impeachment. >> right, this has nothing to do with an impeachment. they have not done the proper procedure to actually open an impeachment investigation, regardless of what they say. with everything trying to do -- and mr. nadler, i thought, has been unintentionally frankel about t

before the focus on impeachment was about the russia investigation and bob mueller's report. based on the president's interactions with ukraine and whether he withheld aid to ukraine in an attempt to get the president of the country to investigate one of his potential 2020 rivals, the vice president. democrats have said to me this is a new category of allegation and if true, and to the report so far suggesting it could be, that this would be an impeachable offense they feel comfortable in forward with. case, the democrats open formal inquiry into president trump, you point out president trump released today -- announced he would release the transcript of his phone conversations with ukrainian president. also, there is one of the administration may allow the whistleblower to speak to congressional committees. why didn't democrats wait until these things were in place before moving ahead with official impeachment inquiries? >> kiting democrats would say the announcement today of the impeachment inquiry may have prompted the white house to respond and to put this out there. in t

bob mueller. he had only been fbi director for 10 days. get a line open to the vice president and the white house situation room. to the crew of air force one i said go back and get on the plane. we are getting at here. -- we have to get out of here. to the secret service i said -- prepare to get the motorcade going. to the acting communications director on the trip i said -- get some remarks written for the president. we have 650 people in a gymnasium and they will have -- and the president will have to say something to them but we cannot say anything that we do not know to be the truth. the president came into the holding room in about seven and a half minutes. it did not seem that long. and the first thing he said was get the fbi director on the phone. we told him that he was right here. i watched the president step up to his responsibility. when he was sitting on that chair, i am convinced he focused on his oath of office. preserve, protect, defend. i believe that is when he became president. the rest of the day is history. i feel no f

you all watched and the whole country watched the bob mueller hearing. know that was a flop so they have got to come up with some way to go after this president because they are bound even termined to do it though the country knows it's not warranted, even know we shouldn't do it and every single don't do it they are bound and determined to do that so they change the rules in the iddle of the game and understand the underlying issue here. the president was falsely ccused of conspiring with a foreign state to influence the election. for 10 y investigated months. you know why we didn't find nothing? comey we composed many and he told us in the still leaks ut he information to get bob mueller as a special counsel. does he come back with? putting the country through this and what do democrats want to do? change the rules so they can investigating and go after the president. it's ridiculous, it is wrong, country deepin the down understands that. unfortunately, the chairman of the judiciary committee doesn't. do is look at how the false accusations started and

legally valid answer, which is why it didn't work when lewandowski tried anything like that with bob mueller who made lewandowski admit that trump asked lewandowski to try to get the attorney general to curb, yes, the mueller probe, to limit its jurisdiction mueller categorized all of that as part of the efforts to curtail the mueller investigation, the special counsel's investigation. so right here you take a step back from lewandowski's bluster and see the outlines of the hiding hide the stories in public, delay as long as possible. in lewandowski's case, to be fair, ultimately tell mueller the truth. of course that's partly to avoid having to go to jail but then come back and hide it again when asked about it under oath today >> the white house has directed i not disclose the substance of any discussions with the president or his advisers to protect executive branch confidentiality. the white house has directed i not disclose the substance of any discussions. the white house has directed i not disclose the white house has directed i not disclose the discussions -- i will not disclose any

bob mueller, special counsel wastes $30 million of taxpayer money, 22-month investigation said at that table just a few weeks ago, gives the same darn answer. these guys over here don't care. they don't care. they don't want to get to what was, figure how the false accusation happened just drag people in front of this committee and keep trying to find some way they can go after the president. go back to the process that the ranking member raised. did you testify in front of the senate intel dcommittee in 2017? >> yes. >> testify in front of the house intelligence committee in 2017? >> yes. >> and went before the special counsel, answered his questions in to 18. is that right? >> it is. >> did it all voluntarily? >> yes. >> no subpoena? >> no, sir. >> said i'm willing to comply, give answer, answer all the questions you got? >> yes. >> in your opening statement you said 20 -- how many hours did you sit in front of those committees? >> more than 20. >> more than 20 hours. for this committee, did you get a letter from this committee back in march asks for certainly documents chairman nadl

x, didn't you or read -- and have him read it, have him say exactly what he told bob mueller don't defer to the congress person to read it or don't defer to the congress person says that i it says it go through so he actually says the ready woulds it takes discipline, it is slow and boring, but that needs to come out at some point in this hearing. and someone needs to do that johnson got closest. jeffries got some of it. but we need to get -- i would think that if i were running this hearing and if i ran the circus which i never will, i would want to get that information out. and they have been incapable of doing it and the minute that they get close, he wiggles around and takes control of them and they don't seem to know how to grab the control back >> all right we'll keep listening in at various stages cynthia, i'll come back to you again, we will continue to monitor this hearing and we'll bring you any news out of it but other new, polls have closed in israel in the second national election in just sixmonths and it looks like benjamin netanyahu and his centrist party is in a dead heat

you watched and we all watched the bob mueller hearing. we all know that was a flop. so they have to come up with some way to go after this president because they are bound and determined to do it even though the country thinks it's not warranted. even though they know we shouldn't do it, and the country says in every poll don't do it. they change the rules in the middle of the game. and understand the underlying issue here. the president was falsely accused of conspiring with a foreign state to influence the election. jim comey investigated for 10 months. after 10 months, he found nothing. we deposed mr. comey and he told us that in the deposition. but he still leaks information to get his special counsel, bob mueller, he investigates after 20 months and said no coordination between the trump campaign and russian influence. -- and russia to influence the election. 32 months, putting the country through this, and what do democrats want to do? change the rules so they can keep investigating and go after the president. it's ridiculous. it is wrong. and everyone in the c

in bob mueller who got to be special counsel, bob mueller said he had nothing, what are the democratsaybe a better thing to do would to go back and have a false accusation happened. that's what i want to get out to the american people can find out the truth about that. that's how we fight back. how did this all start in the first place? >> if that's a function, of the judiciary committee it does not respond to the attack on the president of the united states. as you say, truth is on your side, it's also on the side of the president. he has gone through in almost one year fbi investigation on russia collision, the special counsel investigation of two and half years. in each instance resulted in nothing. the truth is on his side and instead, what we have in the house committee that is out of control. what do you do about it? >> after fight back and present the truth and you also point to the fact that the attorney general of the united states is doing an investigation and put john durham in charge of where they will get to the bottom and how this crazy ordeal that our country live throu

when bob mueller was asked that same question, sitting at that same table, he gave the same answer. falsely accused, the president is falsely accused of working with a foreign state to impact the election. james comey said after 10 months of investigation we didn't have a thing. bob mueller gets named special counsel, he wastes $30 million of taxpayer money, he sits at that table just a few weeks ago and gives the same darn answer. but these guys over here, they don't care. they don't care. they don't want to get to what mr. chabot said. they just want to drag people in front of this committee and keep trying to find some way they can go after the president. let's go back to the process that the ranking member raised. did you testify in front of the senate intel committee in 2017? >> yes. >> did you testify in front of the house intelligence committee in 2017? >> yes. >> and you went before the special counsel and answered his questions in 2018, is that right? >> it is. >> and you did that all voluntarily? >> yes. >> no subpoena? >> no, sir. >> said i'm willing to comply. >> yes. >>

there was a whole bob mueller investigation, we dragged the whole country through it. >> julie: i guesshey are looking for the testimony from the whistle-blower. >> pete: there's always something else. "i need testimony, i need this transcript." and never ends. >> jessica: it does, because it's an abuse of power. some people think we should have another special counsel. >> pete: [laughs] let's do that. >> jessica: okay. it's not funny to millions of americans. i'm just saying that. you need to also consider the fact there are many moderate democrats that are supportive now if the inquiry. there was the piece in "the washington post," seven democrats -- the majority of whom came from intelligence community backgrounds -- they publish it the night before nancy pelosi and out the inquiry, saying they are ready now for this period that they see this as a national security threat. >> pete: and i laugh at that. millions of people laugh at that, also. not you, but that idea that we should somehow take that seriously. >> jessica: i don't think people left veterans have served our country who ar

this guy was in charge of what was going on in that fake bob mueller scenario we lived through for twond a half years. which, by the way, you haven't asked me this yet, listen to what these members of congress are saying about bob mueller's report. we are going beyond that now. we have to go beyond that. we've got to go beyond that because there is nothing there. i think mccabe is going to be brought to justice. the grand jury will make a decision whether or not to indict. once they do that, he will either plea, as gregg jarrett said, or he will go to trial. that -- look, i still think this is a very small part of a much bigger problem. i think this is just a little bit of what is to come. >> sean: let me ask you this question i've been asking everyone tonight. okay, we identified a kathleen kavalec, john broke that story. warning, don't trust this guy, he's got an agenda. and they never verify the dossier. i never even tried. we now know it is unverifiable. they have bruce ohr and even the british government, can't wait to get that letter. so, if you don't listen to the warnings and y

but how is it that bob mueller has gotten away with peter strzok under his watch obstruction of evidence? that moment of peter strzok and lisa page, wiped clean of evidence? that, in fact, u.s. attorney from probably needs an investigation. maybe they recovered it but we don't know that. but i will ask you this how did he get away with that? the same with devin nunes lawsuit not knowing fusion gps is. bob mueller was absent without leave during this entire investigation and it's about time we start calling it exactly as it was. this was a fraud on the american people. it continues to be and the fact of the matter, sean, this is what bothers me the most about this. the left want more hearings, more hearings in congress. stormy. that is the next one. >> sean: president trump harassment. but when you file lawsuits like these, you know with the start getting? answers and those answers won't be pretty for those involved with the fbi. not the individual fbi, a lot of great people there, but this will not bode well for leadership. i think that leadership, by the way, is john brennan, not hearin

i actually thought that what bob mueller said was fair.thought that because he could not indict the president, the president would not have an ability then to respond to a charge he might make. i was perplexed to see the attorney general say no, in fact, if mueller wanted to say that the president could have been indicted he should have said so. so i think bob conducted himself in an appropriate way. barr -- >> and what about that? what about -- now you've read the report. >> yeah. >> going back to his distillation of the report he summarized it for the country many weeks before, and he got to see the report. >> evidence developed by this special council is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. >> was that a fair summary? >> no. i mean, what barr did in the two public interactions he had with regard to the mueller report was totally untruthful. he said things about the report that were totally inconsistent with the things that were contained in the report, and it was really kind of puzz

bob mueller did not make a decision on obstruction, and they are not been those charges against the president. so now you are going back in time and saying with mueller somehow there should be impeachment when he ever proved obstruction. >> let's be clear about this. >> ed: i'm trying to be. >> in the days ahead, these hearings will continue on, and additional facts will be forthcoming. we have very substantial facts before us today. we have the president -- a readout, not all of the transcript, but a readout of what the president said. and that is damning. as the speaker said, the president has his oath of office, clearly, there was more to this than just a nice howdy do call. >> ed: last question, in terms of you being one of the people looking at the president's conduct. take a listen to what you said to cnn back in august. >> if this man was out on the te street without the secret service with him, some policemen would arrest him and put them on a 72 hour hold. that's a subject matter for a 72 hour psychological hold, and one of the mental institutions. >> ed: my last question to you is,

so he got in bob mueller's head. and he was not interviewed. again, we can't let donald trump dictate the terms. we should dictate the terms and we should hold him accountable. >> just real quick, is can you name names? who's coming? has anyone accepted your offers to testify? >> as you know, we want corey lewandowski. we want rob porter. of course, we want don mcgahn and those are folks that we continue to seek. hope hicks, as well. but again, if they're not going to come in. if they're just going to obstruct, i say, just put that in the bucket of obstruction of justice and impeach him under those grounds. >> congressman swalwell, please come back when everyone's back and update us on these efforts. >> will do. thanks, nicole. >> thanks for spending time with us. we're going to sneak in a break. don't go anywhere. we'll be right back. this fall, book two, separate qualifying stays at choicehotels.com... ...and earn a free night. because when your business is rewarding yourself, our business is you. book direct at choicehotels.com >>> we ran ou

array of evidence that, under the constitution, they say they can't do anything about it, but as bob muellerce chair of the house judiciary committee. it was also announced that cory lewandowski is going to appear next week. is that going to be an open or closed hearing? >> as i understand it, if he shows up, it's going to be an open hearing. >> aha, thank you very much. i speak it in at the end there. it's actually a very -- it's bad practice in terms of an interview, but i forgot i needed to ask you that. >> happy 11th. >> 11th is that it's our 11th-year as a tv show which means we are 632 years old. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. -oh, n-no. -look, [sighs] i get it. some new guy comes in helping your mom bundle and save with progressive, but hey, we're all in this together. right, champ? -i'm getting more nuggets. -how about some carrots? you don't want to ruin your dinner. -you're not my dad! -that's fair. overstepped. so you don't have to stash antacids here....tc and take control of heartburn. here... or here. kick your antacid habit with prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hour

. >> so the president then brings up bob mueller's testimony before congress, the day before, quote, as you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named bob mueller. an incompetent performance. but they say a lot of it started with ukraine. whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it, if that's possible. >> zelensky follows yes, it is very important for me and everything you mentioned earlier, for me as a president, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. the president then pivots to the prosecutor general, who was fired by the ukraine ongovernment, and then to joe biden, trump saying this. the other thing, there's a lot of talk about biden's son. that biden stopped the prosecution. and a lot of people want to find out about that. so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution. so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me. >> dlenski then tells trump he knows all about the situation and ensures he will have his hand picked p

he says he wants to do something like sit down for a face-to-face with bob mueller or put something out there like his taxes but he just can't because his hands are tied. >> i would love to give the tax returns but i can't do it until i'm finished with the audit. >> well, obviously we know that statement wasn't true. i mean, look, trump never wanted to talk to mueller, he never wanted to release his taxes. we could be seeing this play out all over again right now. pamela brown is "outfront" outside the white house. that is the big question, will we ever see this transcript? >> well, erin, here at the white house officials are evaluating whether to release the transcript of the president's now infamous july 25th call with the ukranian president, but some senior administration officials are firmly against the idea, concerned it could give congress the ability to demand transcripts of calls with other leaders like russian president vladimir putin. and as you pointed out the president in the past has claimed to be transparent on an issue as a way to say he has nothing to hide only to later

this is not a bob mueller type of situation where you're looking a the various rules and regulationsw they fit into a scenario. >> but that's what impeachment is. it's a vote. as president ford said, an impeachable offense is whatever congress says it is. >> that includes not just the house of representatives but the senate. >> for removal. >> no, for conviction. it n it's not just removal. i do not believe it's going to ever get to that point. >> i don't think mitch mcconnell will ever have a try. >> here's the point, though. you said this and you're right, we should not be looking at this in a vacuum. if we don't look at this in a vacuum, cnn pr n nn broke this,s the later of may 4th, 2018. in that letter, three members of the united states senate, that includes bob menendez, dick durbin and patrick leahy wrote a letter to who? the ukrainian prosecutor to urge him -- hold it -- to urge him to do what? continue in open investigations and continue investigations and then the three senators asked three questions, has your office taken any steps to restrict cooperation by special couns

as bob mueller made clear when he came and testified before us, he didn't make prosecutorial recommendationsjustice because he viewed it as impossible under the rules of engagement of the department of justice. we've seen a similar thing with respect to the campaign finance fraud and the payment of hush money to folks who might have impacted the election. also, that southern district of new york investigation and grand jury didn't proceed with charges against the president who has only been identified as individual number one in that proceeding, but we need to look at this whole array of evidence that, under the constitution, as the department of justice is interpreting it right now, they say they can't do anything about it, but as bob mueller said, that's congress' job. >> mary gay scanlon, vice chair of the house judiciary committee. oh, one last thing i want to ask you. it was also announced that corey lewandowski is going to appear next week. is that going to be an open or closed hearing? >> as i understand it, if he shows up, it's going to be an open hearing. >> aha, thank you very much

and everyone in the country knows the bob mueller hearing, they saw it, that was a flop. so let's change the rules in the middle of the game because we've got to find something. we've got to find something. never forget how this whole thing started. never forget how this whole thing started. a false accusation about the president of the united states, saying the president coordinated with a foreign country to influence the election. jim comey investigated that for ten months. guess what? he found nothing. and we know he found nothing because we deposed him and he told us after ten months they didn't have a thing. but that didn't stop it. 22 months later, bob mueller does a special counsel investigation and he investigates it for 22 months, and what does he tell us? other members have already said this. he found nothing. no coordination between the trump campaign and russia to impact the election. 32 months of investigations, they find nothing. but what do democrats want to do? what do they want to do now? change the rules, keep investigating, because we've got to find som

told prosecutors he never acted on president trump's request that he push jeff sessions to fire bob mueller, but the panel played video of lewandowski saying something very different to msnbc's ari melber. >> i don't remember the president ever asking me to get involved with jeff sessions or the department of justice in any way, shape or form ever. >> that wasn't true, was it, sir? >> i heard that. >> and that was not true, was it. >> i have no obligation to be honest to the media, because they're just as dishonest as anybody else. >> i spoke with the president's former campaign member from new hampshire. corey lewandowski, welcome. >> thank you, thank yous for having me. >> let's start at your declaration at the hearing, i have no obligation to be honest with the media, because you consider them to be dishonest. why should anybody decide maybe this time he's decided not to tell the truth. >> howie as you know, and what the listeners saw that day is they took an 8 second video clip of me, completely out of context, and put it on the screen, and said is this truthful and what the video clip

and they know the call came a day after bob mueller's testimony on capitol hill. on that. they wonder if that emboldens the president to have some outreach to the ukraine for potentially election-related information the day after. >> kyle, stay with us if you would. we'll go to the congressman in just a moment. you and kyle have complementary pieces about what this says about how the administration, how republicans on capitol hill approach scandals like this one. >> yeah. i mean if it seems eerily familiar to anyone, that's because it is. there's a pattern here. if rudy giuliani's interview on cnn seems familiar, it's because i watched that interview five times during the russian investigation regarding bob mueller. it becomes denial, we did not do them, or even if the president did them, there's nothing wrong with them. the president does not say he did not ask anything to the president about joe biden. he's not deflecting. he's not denying that. but there's a deflection to the subplot. here is the biden's subplot. and rudy giuliani has been pushing reporters for

panel's first official impeachment hearing under its new rules lewandowski was heavily referenced in bob mueller'ssays trump directed him to tell then attorney general jeff sessions to stop investigating his campaign but lewandowski reportedly never relayed that message. he repeatedly today cited instructions from the white house, not to answer any questions about his conversations with the president during the hearing. >>congress and the white house is directed not i'm not disclose the substance of any discussions with the president advisers to protect executive branch been in geology and i recognize this is not my privilege but i'm respecting the white house's decision let me some questions about your relationship with the president after he assumed office. how many times as president as he to meet him in the white house. the white house's director not disclose the substance of many did you meet with the president alone in the white house in 2017. i don't know answer to that. how many times that he directed to deliver a message to a member of his cabinet. the white house has directed not disclos

watched the bob mueller hearing. we know that was a flop. they got to come up with some way to go after this president because they are determined it to do it even though the country knows we shouldn't do it. even though the country says don't do it. they are bound and determined to do that. so they change the rules on the middle of the game. understand the issue

is this any different than the nonsense we just went through for three years almost with bob mueller's. you actually have the president obviously contacting a foreign power to obviously help him with a political opponent. >> to find out if there's corruption in a foreign government. i don't see that as an issue. >> to look at crowdstrike had nothing to do with russian interference and to look at joe biden, who just happens to be likely to run against him. >> you raised crowdstrike. that was in the context of what? server issues, issues that were raised. >> what server issues? >> the president was talking about 2016 election issues. >> what issue? it was a conspiracy theory. there's no server anywhere that anybody's looking for. crowdstrike did the forensics on the dnc's server. there's no missing server. >> but, chris, what about all those allegations of who had the server access? was it russians? was it ukraine? look, you don't want to look at this in a vacuum, don't. look at the four pages and tell me you think that's worthy of impeachment. >> here's what i want to know. i want to kn

and didn't want to relitigate what had happened even though there was sowers vials even though bob mueller was screaming the russians interfered the country said i don't have to have that campaign going on. but it's different when you have explosive allegations that the president may be for the 2020 election. soliciting interference. and there is a concern if you don't say something now and take action, then are we just making 2020 open to foreign interference? and i think that's why there is such a stronger reaction to this. >> this is herby in moss point, mississippi for democrats, good morning. >> yes i want to know why you are doing the mesh people. when obama was in the republicans did that eight years so they can't get anything done. now trump is in trying to get something down now we go no the whistle blowing thing and trying to prosecute trump. we know bush took to us war with lies. whistleblowers told about the war situation, conned leisura rice and used all these people. and these people coming out after the lies were told and obama didn't do anything to this man for destroying o

bob mueller, lifelong republican he carefully delineated for the better part of two years. i report that it is deeply troubling. 180 pages. it talks about the connections with the russian government that are unique and unprecedented and deeply disturbing. could not prove criminal conspiracy, but they did not mean there were not lots of unusual and disturbing contacts between trump and paid officials and the russian government and russian officials and that ought to bother every patriotic american, democrat or republican the second part of the report, he delineates 10 occasions where the president probably crossed the line with obstruction of justice. he goes further. i cannot indict him because the department of justice will not let me. you, congress can, have remedies to impeach them. he said, once trump is out of office, he can still be prosecuted for these crimes because the department of justice opinion will no longer apply. what prosecutor does that if it is not serious grounds for concern? this is something democrats have made up. this is something that professionals

his defiance even bob mueller when tried to interview him and get information. but here's the thing. he just got caught red-handed using the power of the presidency to try to get a foreign government to take up dirt on his political opponent and the reason he did it. it's because he got away with it before. and everybody knows that i don't think there's any hot water here. >>congressman jared huffman not representing the north coast of california for marine county up to the oregon border. thanks for your time we appreciate it a lot developing on this especially. tomorrow. >>and coming on tonight at 6.45, thank you congressman, a federal union works rally on capitol hill demanding better working conditions why they say that there under attack by the trump administration. >>up next a california mother is warning after learning the body of her 2 year-old son has been found. we have that story ...6, 7, 8 ♪ ♪ ♪ big dreams start with small steps... ...but dedication can get you there. so just start small... start saving. easily set, track and control your goals right

mueller ed the bob hearing. we all know that was a flop. so they have to come up with some way to go after this because they are bound and determined to do it even though the country thinks it's not warranted. and the country says in every poll don't do it. they change the rules in the middle of the game. the underlying president was the alsely accused of -- jim comey investigated for 10 months. after 10 months he found nothing. we deposed mr. comey and he told us that in the deposition. but he still leaks information his special counsel counsel, bob mueller, he investigates after 20 months and no coordination between the trump campaign and russian influence. 2 months, putting the country through this, and what do democrats want to do? change the rules so they can investigating and go after the president. it's ridiculous. it is wrong. deepveryone in the country down understands that. unfortunately, the chairman of the judiciary committee doesn't. is look at howdo the false accusations started. and he good news is -- thank the good lord for

the focus on impeachment was about the russia investigation, bob mueller's report. now it's really focused on the president's interactions with ukraine. and whether the president withheld aid to ukraine in an attempt to get the president of the country to investigate one of his put -- potential 2020 rivals. democrats have said to me, this is a new category of allegation. if true, and the report so far suggests that it could be, that this would be an impeachable offense. they feel comfortable moving forward. piece, the headline had, "democrats open official impeachment and greet a presidenttrump," trump announced he would release the transcript of his phone conversations with ukrainian president. there's word that the administration mail out -- may allow that whistleblower to speak to congressional committees. why didn't democrats wait until these things were in place before moving ahead with official impeachment inquiry? >> democrats would say that the announcement today of impeachment inquiry may have prompted the white house to respond and to put this out there. d

these are the democrats who were holding back after the mueller report, holding back an bob mueller testified to congress. that was exactly two months ago today, but say they are moved by the reports that trump abused his power and his control over taxpayer funds to use it as a bargaining chip within that scandal. trump has now admitted to key parts of this, including that financial pressure. here it was just this morning. >> very important, i want other countries to put up money. i think it's unfair that we put up the money. then people called me they said, oh, let it go and i let it go, but we paid the money. the money was paid. >> as pelosi pushes house democrats demanding this full whistle-blower complaint, more evidence and answers from donald trump's intel chief who testifies thursday. meanwhile, adam schiff says today he's working with this whistle-blower's lawyer to get them to testify, and as mentioned, the senate unanimously passed a resolution that the complaint must be given over to the intel committees. if it sounds like a lot's happening at once in response to donald trump's vio

-- whether it was bob mueller and the russia connections and the election, whether it was stormy daniels the controversy du jour, is it true that democrats in your caucus are just waiting for an opportunity to find something to pin it on this white house at this point? >> i can't speak for every democrat in the caucus. we fall across a very broad spectrum. what i can speak to is the fact there have been allegations after allegations and i have previously said i support the system, the committees of jurisdiction doing what they need to development i was not going to call for an impeachment inquiry or investigation. the process was working. but these specific allegations represent a tremendous national security threat and that is why i think it is important that we talk about them separately. that we recognize the threat that they pose, and that i want to be honest with the american people that my concerns about these particular allegations are so great that they do, in fact, if true, and only if true, represent impeachable offenses. every member of congress, regardless of how they feel ab

. >> we have 3-year-olds going up to discover their words were not mother or father but bob mueller or impeachment. the notion this idea has not been discussed is ridiculous. the american people are more concerned with what is happening in the department of justice and if democrats understand that there will be heartache in november 2020. heather: thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. the time is 20, 25 until the top of the hour. justin trudeau wrapped up in a brown face scandal. he says he is sorry but is that good enough? social media has a lot to say about it. a college football fan goes viral with a sign asking for fear money and raising tens of thousands of dollars. carly shimkus joins us with reaction up next. heather: facing the backlash justin trudeau apologizing after a photo surfaces of him wearing brown face in 2001. >> and aladdin costume with make up. when i was in high school i dressed up at and saying dale with makeup on. heather: carly shimkus with serious xm 115 here with the reaction. it was swift. >> reporter: the photo was taken in 2001, and arabian nights themed

bob mueller testified on that. yesterday was once again, democrats attempt to go after a duly elected president, even though there was no crime committed. i welcome the opportunity to remind the american people of what a farce this whole circus is in washington. kennedy: other people, they shrink away from the shade of the limelight, they don't like congressional grillings. you took that opportunity to launch senate bid and jeffries swatted you down. did you want to appear, what you knew you had most eyeballs on you? >> well, the truth is, i had to appear, they subpoenaed me. through my legal council we said if you want me to come, just tell us date and time, but they subpoenaed me for 10:00 hearing, that started at 1:00, i had a legal obligation to attend, i did. but other part, i am contemplating running for senate, many democrat members of commit who had to remind me, i was not u.s. senate yet, i appreciate their vote of confidence, knowing i'm going to win. >> that is something. they were mad at you. i was amus

judge jeanine: if bob mueller can investigate russian meddling in the 2016 election, why cannot the president'sttorney, you, investigate the origins of that meddling in ukraine. what is wrong with that. >> if i didn't investigate i would be committing malpractice. this was given to me by a legitimate american investigator lawyer who had serious allegations that ukrainian officials were trying to get to the fbi. there was something wrong the fbi and doj because they weren't listening to them for years. judge jeanine: they were trying to give them evidence and they weren't taking it. >> i am not like the whistleblower hearsay. i have direct evidence and the democrats don't want it. because we have a double standard in this country. is there anybody, democrat or republicans that think if the name was changed. judge jeanine: look, the president took this step of releasing and issuing declassifying the statement. it seems as the conversation that there is no pressure, he had nothing to hide. and no ki quid pro quo, and they think that's not to impeach him. >> i didn't know what the statement said. b

they thought the mueller report would be the end-all and they even had bob mueller come and talk abouthe mueller report and it was a disaster. they work for you. tell them to get that trade deal done and tell them drug pricing end of the structure, keep this great economy humming along and stop the nonsense of harassing and embarrassing this president and the people around him when you've had no constitution or a legal basis to do so. >> bill: at west point. he said it's biden, warren or sanders. does he still think that? >> counselor conway: anything can happen, we saw that in 2016. although at this point he was the front runner. but i think the irony should be lost on no one that the democratic party bill that has said, we need a new generation of leadership, they have candidates of color. they have female candidates of color. they have young candidates, a young up and coming candidates. but is it lost on anyone that the three front runners are sort of older white candidates? i think that's pretty ironic because that's the democratic primary electorate who is rejecting these longe yo
