clinton people did to ken starr and you know trump, all this fighting he did not try to go there with bob mueller and i have a lot of respect for bob and i at the time would say let mueller finish his investigation. there are facts that will clear him and it will put the russian pollution here to bed and that's what happened but the bigger question was restoration of political control over the bureaucracy was what trump was constitutionally fighting for even if you might nothave realized it . one thing about war powers is that our war powers , instantly thinks to me is not just the president's use of force and as you point out john contradictory opinions critics of his have taken when president obama was using drones in afghanistan and pakistan. using force in libya without congressional consent. going to syria without congressional consent even though he as a candidate said he would never use force abroad without congressional consent. i was fun to figure out what is from doctrine? is it reassertion of american sovereignty not just over immigration and our borders but as a nationstate pursuing i

but remember bob mueller also took things that he found and handed some of those cases off outside his jurisdiction to other prosecutors. we know in the past, friction, that's how sdny convicted michael cohen. in this case, there is no that shows that it came out of. investigation. either way, this blockbuster arrest adds to president trump's now terrible record as a legal fact for the most advisers indicted in any american president's first term ever. just look at these legal facts. they do speak for themselves. you now have six different trump advisers indicted. and everyone whose case was processed has been convicted. legally, bannon is at an earlier stage with the breaking news tonight and he is legally presumed innocent. he joins other top insiders like paul manafort and his white house colleague mike flynn. so that is a lot right here. this is the biggest story upending politics today. and i report that for you even though one convention is hitting its finale and another is about to begin. that's not all. there is one other key takeaway here. and it is not about which trump ally

arguably, michael cohen gave all of that stuff to bob mueller and sdny, as well. and we haven't seen anything. does that mean there's nothing happening or does that mean it was a different sort of investigation? >> so, one thing to remember is first the special counsel's office did not have within its remit -- in other words, it had set limits that were put in place by the deputy attorney general and that did not include a sort of personal or trump organization financial investigation. you know, sort of classic white-collar investigation. so that was not directly within the special counsel's office. now, the southern district of new york could have looked at that, but one thing that is public is you'll remember, the skirmish at the sentencing of michael cohen, where the southern district of new york seemed quite displeased with his cooperation and said it really wasn't full and complete. so i don't think, just based on that information, my sort of educated guess would be that the district of new york is not looking at this and that the office that's really taking

the bipartisan report goes further than special counsel bob mueller's report to detail the extent thathe trump campaign sought help from a foreign foreign for the 2016 election. approved by the senate majority report found that the president had hacked emails. last month, the president roger stone's sentence. and separate but related allegations, refers to the conduct of trump's conduct with women during past visits to moscow. but the allegations were not confirmed and a report stressed that it could not establish that russia had collected compromising material on the president. the senate intel committee affirmed mueller's investigation on the subject of wikileaks, saying in part this, staff on the trump campaign sought advance notice about wikileaks releases, promoted strategies in anticipation of following their relief and encouraged further leaks. so the intelligence committee report provided a scathing detail of the trump transition team where, quote, russian officials, intelligence services and others acting on the kremlin's behalf were capable of exploiting the transition short

was it bob mueller? >> two mistakes by mueller.esident's testimony. the mueller report is an extraordinary document. and this was, in many respects, a very successful investigation. but there's a huge hole in it where donald trump's voice should be. so, that was one mistake. the other mistake was in the final report, not saying what the facts that mueller assembled proved, which was the president committed the crime of obstruction of justice and not just once. when he fired comey, when he told comey to lay off the investigation of michael flynn, when he told his white house counsel, don mcgahn, to fire mueller. when he told mcgahn to lie about that interaction. all of those were crimes worse than richard nixon, worse than bill clinton. and mueller's failure to state that clearly opened the door for william barr, a political totie of the president, to distort mueller's findings, but mueller left the door open. >> if trump, hypothetically, were to lose the election in november, jeffrey, do you expect him to face more charges as a pri

and the report strongly suggests that president trump flat-out lied when he told bob mueller's team thatl talking to stone about wikileaks. the committee believes he did and did repeatedly. here's the lightning round. that already questionable trump tower meeting from june 2016 did, in fact, include an asset of the russian government. that russia repeatedly tried to infiltrate and influence trump's incoming administration, praying on its, quote, relative inexperience, that russia not only moved on to blame ukraine for 2016 interference, but sold the obvious lie to trump and leading republicans, who continued to push it to this day. we're also learning that the senate committee referred for criminal investigation five close associates, including trump's son, john jr., and son-in-law, jared kushner, on the suspicion that they lied to the committee as first reported by "the washington post." now, all of this is new information. but here's what's not. president trump almost never having a bad word to say about vladimir putin, not even over bounties on u.s. troops. and we'll see what accusati

it started back in 2016 where, according to bob mueller himself, a lifetime republican, the trump campaign welcomed the foreign interference by the russians, which was designed explicitly to artificially place him at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. then last year he corruptly abused his power, withheld $391 million in assistance to a very vulnerable ukraine as part of this scheme to pressure a foreign government to target joe biden, an american citizen, in order to cheat in the 2020 election. and now there's this vicious effort in the middle of a pandemic to try to shut down the postal service so they can't be universal mail-in voting. >> but the question -- the question to you is then what can congress do about it? congress is a co-equal branch of government. the postal service is in the constitution. are there powers that congress has that can stop this administration from gutting the postal service? are there actions that congress can take to stop him? >> right. well, congressional power really goes down three roads, right? it's the power of the purse. there's the power to legislate, and ther

come to light is that rod rosenstein, the deputy fbi director had actually curtailed it and told bob mueller that he could not follow those personal threads if he unearthed anything. and i'll just read a portion of this from "the new york times" for you. mr. rosenstein concluded the fbi lacked sufficient reason to conduct an investigation into the president's link to a foreign adversary. mr. rosenstein determined that the investigator were acting too hastily in response to the firing days earlier of james comey of fbi director and suspected that the acting bureau director who approved the opening of the inquiry, andrew g. mccabe, had conflicts of interest. your response? >> okay, so, before i address mr. rosenstein's comments specifically, let me just say that in may of 2017, we had information to indicate that a threat to national security might exist. that threat being, specifically, the president's potentially damaging relationship, financial ties, what have you, with the government of russia. that's essentially the counterintelligence doomsday scenario, to have a president of the united

i read the mueller report and it is shocking how the republicans have flipped on russia." let us see if we can get a couple more calls and starting with bobm pennsylvania on the republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. i am curious, why is it that black people do not want to admit that -- when they are half white? caller: we have -- host: we have no idea what you are talking about so we will go to lynn on the independent line. good morning. caller: i do not know what the last call is about that i am talking to call about this case. this is my concern. asset or russian intelligence officer was recorded by the fbi talking about their attempts to recruit carter page, and they were surveilling him back in 2013. we are not saying he did anything wrong because i do not note that he was aware that he was being recruited as they wanted him to be a double agent, basically or an agent of russia because he was so pro-russia and made those political comments and had those business opportunities. himthis russian described as enthusiastic about business opportunities in russia, but that he was an idiot and had promised him a lot. so the fbi
