but this was not the bob mueller i knew. two years had brought a striking change. and i suddenly understood not only his own reluctance to testify, but the protective instincts of his dedicated staff. had i known how much he had changed i would not have pursued his testimony with such vigor. in fact, i would not have pursued it at all. joining us now is the chairman of the house intelligence committee, author of "midnight in washington: how we almost lost democracy and still could," california congressman adam schiff, chairman of the intelligence committee. mr. chairman, thank you for being here. congratulations on this book. >> thank you, and thank you for the beautiful description of it. >> i was struck by sort of learning about how you learned in this. it seems like you were sort of -- you were built backwards in time to be ready to be the chairman of the intelligence committee at a time that there were questions about a president being compromised by russia given your background and having been a prosecutor and involved in these things and having lived and -- l

i would love to go speak to bob mueller but i can't go speak to bob mueller for some unknown reason andld love to turnover my tax returns but we still have not seen them. so it is at this point almost a tick by donald trump to do that and he's foreshadowing exactly what he's going to do, which is he's hired lawyers to file a lawsuit to prevent these witnesses from turning over the documents. so thursday will probably be the day that they file the lawsuit and there will be no documents that will be turned over. >> we will see. thursday. thank you very much for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> coming up, one of speaker pelosi's vote counters who was with president biden today in michigan will join us. we'll get her take on where the biden agenda stands in the house of representatives tonight. ouse of representatives tonight the best things america makes are the things america makes out here. the history she writes in her clear blue skies. the legends she births on home town fields. and the future she promises. when we made grand wagoneer, proudly assembled in america, we knew

i would love to go to speak to bob mueller. for some unknown reason. and then he delays and doesn't do. i would love to turn over my tax returns, but we still have not seen them, it is, at this point, almost a tick by donald trump to do that. and he's foreshadowing exactly what he's going to do. which is that he's hire lawyers to file a lawsuit, to prevent these witnesses from turning over the documents, a thursday, will probably be the day, that they filed a lawsuit, and there will be no documents that will be turned over. >> we will see, thursday. thank you very much for joining. us we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> coming up, speaker pelosi's vote counters, who was with president biden today in michigan, will join us. will get her take on where the biden agenda stands in the house of representatives tonight. the house of representatives tonight.

former special counsel bob mueller detailing his ties to former trump campaign chairman paul manafort. sources say the case has no ties to former president trump. the treasury department has sanctioned senior russian government officials and oligarchs like deripaska who they claim "benefit from the putin regime and play a key role in advancing russia's malign activities." he has sued the u.s. government, claiming that the sanctions against him are based on nothing but false rumor. his spokesman told russian state media today that those raided moments are not his property. david? >> quite a scene in washington and new york today. pierre, thank you. >>> next tonight here, to the house committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capitol. tonight, that committee now moving to recommend steve bannon be held in criminal contempt for defying their subpoena. here's our chief washington correspondent jonathan karl. >> reporter: tonight, the house january 6th committee is voting to recommend criminal charges against trump ally steve bannon, for refusing to cooperate with its investiga

every time a subpoena was issued by bob mueller and his investigation of donald trump, it was hysteriamedia about this and where it could lead. and now in the case of a subpoena issued to the clinton law firm, "the new york times" buried it. one paragraph in each of those papers. they pooh-poohed it, made it out like it was nothing. total hypocrisy by those who said the election was stolen by donald trump. >> laura: moving onto another issue which i think is really hurting biden is that the ap is reporting that the administration announced new rules that allowed them to only pursue migrants recently crossed into the country on november 1st, or they are deemed a threat to public safety. what message does that sound to the 60,000 patients plus who are making their way to our southern border? >> it tends the same message that biden administration has sent before in office. encouraging people to illegally cross the border, tore down all of the rules and restrictions we had put in place, the patchwork we had in place in other countries and our country to ensure that some of the trafficking

every time a subpoena was issued by bob mueller and his investigation into donald trump it was hysteria in the media and now in the case of a subpoena issued to the clinton law from the new york times and washington post buried it, one paragraph in each of those papers, the networks made it out like it was nothing. total hypocrisy by those who said the election was stolen by donald trump. >> another issue which i think is hurting biden is his approach to the border and immigration and the ap is reporting the administration announced new rules require authorities to only pursue migrants who recently crossed into the country or they are deemed a threat to public safety. what message does that send to 60,000 haitians making their way to the southern border. >> the same message from before he was in office when biden campaigned he encouraged people to illegally cross the border, tore down all the rules and restrictions, the patchwork we had in place in other countries and our country to ensure some of the traffic we have seen will be controlled. it is a crisis of his own making, he chose th

this was not the bob mueller schiff said he knew and had he known, he would not have pursued his testimony with such figure saying, quote, he in fact would not have pursued it at all. mueller after his years long investigation testified there was no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia to influence the 2016 election. john durham is continuing to investigate the russia probe and sussman's trial is expected to begin this spring in 2022. jillian: let's turn to the border crisis. thousands of migrants in mexico are about to start day 5 of their trek to the southern border. todd: but who is funding this caravan? griff jenkins is in southern mexico and asks organizers where the money is coming from. >> reporter: a rest day 25 miles north of where they began their journey four days ago. children playing in the street, healthcare aid workers along with vendors selling to the migrants. while we have seen government agencies try to help the migrants along the way, even giving a pamphlet to assist the migrants we haven't figured out who is paying, how this caravan is being fund

two months before bob mueller's report came out saying that there was no criminal conspiracy, cnn publisheding that the dossier is mostly true. the media where winning accessories to the witch hunts because they did not do their job. they were more than happy to publish anti-trump garbage. without testing the reliability of the information in the veracity and the credibility of their sources. >> sean: if you lie to congress and that's with a referrals work i might remember, mccabe said no dossier, no fisa warrant. there is no predawn raid, guns drawn, fake new cnn cameras. that only happens to people deemed conservative. remember, we are supporters of donald trump. thank you both. he said a period of dual system of justice in our country. we do not have equal justice under the law. that means society begins to deteriorate because the law is foundation is our constitution. when we come back, fake new cnn, there were ridiculed on humpty dumpty show yesterday. he got his -- handed to him and bernie sanders backing the mob and the media. they are not promoting the radical agenda enough. kayleig

that it would cause too much of a stir just like he didn't fire bob mueller. same thing.tical ramifications so i am not going to do it. he didn't do it for ethical reasons believe me. >> it is well documented former president trump wasn't just pressuring top officials in the justice department to help him overturn the election but state and local officials in georgia, arizona. >> dozens. >> his own former vice president mike pence he was pressuring to not certify the election on january 6th. i think for republicans what they are really trying to do is separate trump from what really was a crisis of his own making. a lot has to do with tactics going into the midterms. republican voters now overwhelmingly believe this election was fraudulent despite that being completely baseless and it reinforces the grip trump still has over the party that you'll see them put out a rebuttal for what is widely documented as being very much floatd by former president trump and his allies for months. >> here is the thing. about 12 or 15 republican officials from michigan, the wayne county ca

pretty straight line between, you know, getting off the hook on that to the very next day, after bob muellerith ukraine, seeking another nation's help to cheat in another election. and when he escaped accountability for that, you can draw another straight line to him trying to cheat in even more new and devastating ways in the 2020 election and the insurrection that followed. and so, there needs to be accountability, because we have seen, so amply, what happens when there is a lack of accountability. >> do you have any doubt that steve bannon is covering up donald trump's true communications and conduct and intentions in the hours and days and during the insurrection? >> well, if he wasn't, i don't know why he would be seeking to thwart our inquiry. but look, i've had experience with steve bannon. when the republicans were chairing the intelligence committee, they subpoenaed him as a witness, and he refused to answer anything but 25 questions that had been written out for him in advance by the trump white house. he had had that kind of disdain for congress even when the committee was run by

we had a $30 million investigation done by bob mueller that said that wasn't true. democrats told us the russian bounty story was true. dps told us, covid didn't start in a chinese lab. no, no. it was a bat to a hippopotamus. no, no, no. democrats for four years told us the 2016 election was stolen. they could investigate that for four years. we're not allowed to question some concerns we have about the 2020 election for four minutes. they can investigate that for four years. on january 6, 2017, democrats objected to more states than republicans objected to on january 6, 2021. mr. raskin objected to the state of florida, to certifying the results from the state of florida on january 6, 2017. we're not allowed to ask questions. they objected to the state of alabama. president trump won by 30 points. they can object to alabama, but we're not allowed to object to pennsylvania? the run-up to that, they changed their laws. we're not allowed to object to that or do an audit in arizona? give me a break. mr. becker, the chair woman in her opening statement, she criticized t
