byron york was one of the men said there's not a lot of new information in these questions. >> theres not a lot new in these questions. when you look at some of the areas it doesn't indicate mueller has come up with a new area of inquiry that we didn't know about before. this is what we have been talking about for the last year or so. from that point, it seems to me the trump people should be relieved, we seem to know everything. >> relieved as to the contents but the content doesn't matter. this is about a perjury trial for president of the united states to catch him in something like martha stewart. that is the focus, what they are going for. the president needs to make sure these questions are in written form, not something moral. heather: they believe this came from someone who supports donald trump because it shows why the pres. wouldn't agree to be questioned by mueller but also shows you have a person and going after a crime versus having a crime going after a person which is the way it is supposed to be. >> definitely dirty but this is how the government gets people and what

. >> bill: i want to bring in byron york, fox news contributor, also in excellent health, aren't you? your headline says this. democrats and trump impeachment trap. if you sit down for an interview the questions could be unlimited. >> absolutely. this is not just a list of 49 questions. a list of 49 topics. each question could lead to lots of other questions. for example, when did you, mr. trump, first hear about the trump tower meeting from june 2006. do you think they just want a date? they'll say who told you, what did they say, what did they say came as a result of that? who was involved? that single question could lead to many follow-up questions which could open up other questions and one former prosecutor said these questions could easily lead to a two-day interview. >> bill: oh my gosh. i think you would negotiate that up front. there is a political calculus in all of this. there was a poll on screen that said democrats 71% favor pursuing some sort of impeachment against president trump. how does nancy pelosi address that? >> it's a big number and it makes democratic leaders u

. >> for more on this let's bring in byron york from "the washington examiner". you heard the last report on the on again off again and the summit coming up on june 12. >> they seem to be on again with the u.s. having teams not only in north korea but also in singapore getting ready for the selection of a very experienced american diplomat to handle this. it all seems on again. i would say we still have 15 days left. there is plenty of time for things to get rocky and then smooth out again. i think from the very beginning this whole process was never going to be a very smooth process to june 12th. it wasn't going to work that way because both sides were jockeying for position. and to suggest maybe that all that jockeying is just now over probably not. >> do you think that's something that president trump planned for all along and every move that he has made up until this point has been strategic to get us to where we are? >> well, it's hard to say that every single thing was planned out in advance. it seemed like the president got a little ahead of himself with t

byron york, "washington examiner," chief political correspondent. he of course is contributor to us. we appreciate that. charlie gasparino and others say what it comes to white-collar crime in north america this stuff is not unusual. it is kind of unusual in the political front. it is very unusual when it is slap dab in the middle of a presidential campaign. it is all more unusual that if you take michael caputo at his word, this was developing prior to the fall. this could have all started in the spring of the same campaign year. presidentials who -- historian doug wead on all of that. not only the issue of multiple spies trying to get information within the trump campaign but fact mueller himself from what we're told was kind of nonchalant about it? that is my characterization of caputo's characterization, but what do you think? >> i think this is a staggering moment in history. i think this is the biggest event since the 2016 election. and i say that advisedly and here's why. either the president knew about it in some way, i'm not saying that cou

and chief political correspondent byron york. danielle brian, the executive director of the project on government oversight. byron? >> the thing that struck me, you mentioned congressional oversight at the end of that. that is the thing that is going to tell us what happened and what is striking how difficult it has been for congress to find out what was going on. think about the dossier. we first hear about the dossier, it's fishy. then we find out later it was funded by the clinton campaign. then we find out later the f.b.i. actually wanted to hire the author of the dossier to continue the work during the campaign. then we find out it was used to get a wiretap warrant for carter page. we find out more and more. all the time, every step of the way the f.b.i. and the justice department drag their feet and resist the efforts to find out those things i just mentioned. the same thing is happening now. >> laura: overly redacting documents they are finding out later the names, it was exculpatory for people they were targeting. dan bong

byron york out with this piece. "one year down and it still mueller time." the russia probe is not been going on for almost three years and there is not one indication what this entire investigation is all about. here's what we do know. after all of this time, there is zero evidence of trump-russia collusion. it has been a witch hunt, it is a witch hunt, and it is a total sham. for the sake of the country, it needs to end. we have key updates to john solomon's explosive report that we brought you last night about the fbi director mueller actually working with a russian billionaire, oleg darris derip. he was working with them. now there is absolutely nothing wrong -- i will defend robert mueller on this. he and other fbi agents, they were trying to free a former fbi retiree, cia operative. his name is robert levinson for moran. he was being held hostage. now i'm happy that he was working with a russian billionaire, the oligarch that he somehow convinced the oligarch to give him $27 million to help save an american being held hostage. i have no problem with th

byron york tonight reporting these new revelations about the fbi targeting the trump campaign is now leading to very serious questions about when this fbi investigation actually started. now, we've been told that it began at the end of july 2016. adiametrically opposed diametrically opposed drinking in a war, four-way drunken hearsay. that's not admissible, hearsay, in a courtroom. by the way, it never made any sense. washington post reporting that this informant met with carter page a few weeks before the fbi says it officially launched the probe. their timeline isn't matching up. this is exactly why we need the sect special counsel. most importantly, we need an investigator appointed who has prosecutorial powers. the doj inspector general is looking into all of this. rod rosenstein wants the inspector general. he cannot hold these deep-state actors accountable. michael horowitz doesn't even have the ability to convene a grand jury or issue indictments. the clinton investigation, we still haven't gotten the report. it's 18 months later. guess what? we don't have that kind of time. w

and byron york, politician of the examiner.get a ton of coverage, but i think that the prospect of this becoming a major thing in the middle east could be big. >> and the question is that what does it have to do with what has just happened and with the iran deal, and clearly iran and israel have been conducting a shadow war in the area for quite some time. and it has been getting worse and worse and worse. what we are striking is the reaction of the trump administration, a very, very strong message in support of israel, not only affirming israel's supporting going fighting back, but it's right to fight back and defend itself. so i think that we saw, also just a sarah huckabee sanders sound bites that we heard, we have heard a very different message i did this white house and the previous one. >> bret: and the wake of the del is the prospect that is greater. >> yes, that's where the european allies were worried about, i agree, there is been there shadow war that is being fought, and two there was a lot of concern from european a

veteran journalist byron york joins us with the latest of elements. and longtime clinton advisor mark penn is now under fire after sharing his opinion. , which questioned the mueller probe. >> let's be clear about it, what exactly is mark penn selling? >> martha: mark penn, here two weeks, gone, moments away. until... we lost it. today, we're renewing our commitment to you. fixing what went wrong. and ending product sales goals for branch bankers. so we can focus on your satisfaction. it's a new day at wells fargo. but it's a lot like our first day. wells fargo. established 1852. re-established 2018. man: it takes a lot of work to run this business, but i really love it. i'm on the move all day long, and sometimes i don't eat the way i should. so i drink boost to get the nutrition i'm missing. boost high protein now has 33% more protein, along with 26 essential vitamins and minerals. and it has a guaranteed great taste. man: boost gives me everything i need to be up for doing what i love. boost high protein. be up for it. boost high protein. this one'

"washington post" reporting that the informant met with carter page if you months before the fda launched the program. this is exactly why we need the second special counsel. most importantly, we need an investigator appointed who has prosecutorial powers. the doj inspector general is now looking into all of this, rod rosenstein wants thel. inspector general, he cannot hold the deep state actors accountable. michael horowitz does not have the ability to convene a grand jury or issue indictments. the clinton investigation, we still haven't gotten the report, 18 months later. guess what, wee don't have that kind of time. what we need is a full, thorough, complete

byron york, chief political correspondent of the "washington examiner."opinion writer for "the washington post." kimberley strassel, member of the editorial board at "the wall street journal." kimberly, your thoughts on the prospects and what you heard today. >> i think -- >> bret: are you still there? there you go. kimberly. chuck, go ahead. >> bret, i was a little confused. i think just by that and also by what the president and various other people were saying about this meeting. seemed a week or so ago like this was a done deal. then you have the president saying there's a very substantial chance it won't happen. contradicted by the south koreans, sort of contradicted by mike pompeo. hard to tell what he was talking about. he made an allusion to the fact that xi jinping of china had met with kim jong il and then that since then, north korea seems to have hardened its stance. seemed a little annoyed with xi jinping but frankly i am not sure why, even if it were true that the meeting was in jeopardy, i'm not sure why he would sort of casually just drop

byron york for the "washington examiner." jonathan turley, they both join us tonight.rofessor, first to you, why not just say we want to impeach the president, we think we've committed high time, crimes and misdemeanors, they do think that. why should that be embarrassing, it's a constitutional procedure? >> they certainly should be open about it if that is their motivation. there's no question that the preferred route for the constitution is to have a trial in the senate after impeachment in the house, to have that decision. you can always still impeach someone once they are removed from office. there is an ongoing academic debate whether any sitting president can be indicted but most prosecutors yield to the impeachment process. >> tucker: there's no debate over what's the most democratic mechanism for dealing with the president who's done something wrong, it's by using the representative that voters elected, correct? >> that's the preferred way. the fact is that the framers gave us a process by which we could first impeach and then remove the president. as long as y

for more, let's consult with fox news can of it are byron york deputy assistant attorney general bob robert driscoll. gentlemen, grady c. byron, there's been quite a few mistruths stated by michael avenatti who was brought onto some of these other networks, almost like an analyst. they almost forget that he's representing a client. instead, he says something and they, the chiron's, trump, cohen bombshell, russian oligarch without looking into the details. it's wild. >> has been bragging about his tv appearances. bringing information, perhaps confidential, financial information about michael cohen. one of the big thing, the headlines is russia, russia, russia. russia company was actually a u.s. company which gave him some money. you have to think if this is the smoking gun of collusion, why did robert mueller's investigators farm this case out to the attorneys at the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. this would seem to be in the heart of the russian investigation and yet mueller gave it to somebody else. >> laura: and what the company is saying is not only did this

byron york from the "washington examiner" and jonathan turley. professor, first to you.oes the public, do americans have a right to know if they were spied on and why? >> i think that they do. these are very serious allegations and they are unprecedented. we don't know what the truth is. maybe there was a valid reason for the investigation. maybe they used valid means, but we should want to know. what i think it is being a case of willful blindness here is that we have confirmation that trump apparently was correct when he said over a year ago that he had people in his campaign that were under surveillance and it turns out that it was much broader than we thought even though people like clapper and other in the obama's administration don't make it administration to 90. it does appear to be a surveillance program, it does appear to be an investigation and now you have an individual who reportedly offered to be an advisor in a campaign when he was an asset for the fbi or the cia or both. i can't imagine what justice official would sign off on that. you can try to split thi

and the other question i would have, agreeing with byron york is is that all there is?ld by so many for so long that we don't know what we don't know, which is sort of obvious if you think about it, but that mueller may have things we haven't heard about. he may have uncovered things we never heard about. nothing in these questions relates to anything we haven't yet heard about. we would certainly set up and take notice if among these questions were ones that asked about the president's conversations with a certain russian representative that we never heard of before. we would say it looks as if mr. mueller is onto something. it may be, tucker, that lurking and potential follow questions to those that are listed here that there will be some sort of new information. but on the face of it there's really not much here. >> tucker: i totally agree. you expect a question, what about that night in '85, but this sounds like a cable news segment, these questions. totally general and airy. i was confused by reading them. do you have any idea where they are going? >> i just think

. >> bill: let's bring in byron york. good monday to you, byron. you think this kerry news is a big deal. two meetings, recent days. how come? >> it is a big deal because while we know that former obama administration officials of course they oppose the trump administration undoing some policies but we did not know until now that some of them were meeting with foreign governments in an attempt to undermine the current u.s. administration. that is pretty big deal. you will hear a lot about the logan act, which is a law that prevents private citizens from conducting foreign policy. problem there is, it was passed in 1799 and has never successfully been used to prosecute anybody. hasn't even been tried in more than 150 years. so it likely does not apply here. >> bill: okay. second time in two months, not second time in a couple of days. they think the trump folks will screw this up and they think the way to stability in the middle east is with iran and not through saudi arabia, which is the difference now. late on friday paul manafort's case was in co

byron york is the chief political correspondent for "the washington examiner" and joins us with more his. we appreciate it, byron. so in terms of how the d.o.j. has now responded. they say the i.g. will take this over and they will investigate, add it to the fisa investigation, do you think it's a good idea? >> i think first of all this was going to be investigated. no doubt about that. there is a possibility that what the president was calling for is already being investigated. remember, there is an existing inspector general investigation into what republicans call fisa abuse, the use of the trump dossier and getting that spying warrant on carter page. and since this f.b.i. informant had contacts with carter page, maybe it's part of that. also remember it wasn't too long ago when members of the house were calling on the justice department to appoint a special second counsel to investigate the trump/russia investigation. jeff sessions said wait a minute, we won't do that but i, attorney general sessions, have already appointed the u.s. attorney from utah, john huber, to investigate t

. >> bill: more with byron york political correspondent for "the washington examiner". pick off where she left off at the meeting. democrats had a problem with the lawyers being there. what came of the meeting. have few facts have been leaked which might be a shoek he to a lot of people. >> at the emmett flood thing it doesn't appear to be a big deal. the president's counsel showed up. made a few remarks at the beginning hoping there could be trance pay en see and left before anything was discussed or revealed. that's not a big problem. you hit it on the head when you said we haven't found out what was said during the briefing. we had democrats who said they saw nothing to change their view that there was no spying at all going on. we have had total radio silence from republicans. nunes and gowdy, the two republican representatives who played a leading role in this have said absolutely nothing about this. so we have no substance from what actually was said yesterday. >> bill: very interesting. adam schiff read from a statement. i don't remember a time when he has done t

joining us right now to talk about this is chief political correspondent, byron york.e you. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> maria: i want to get your take on this. i have to point out, okay, so they were -- they may not have been wiretapping them. i'm still left with an open question. why were they monitoring the calls that the president's personal attorney was making. your take on all of this, byron? >> the nbc thing was a major screw-up. it actually led to lots of he'll lab bracspeculation. stormy daniels' lawyer was on tv saying he knew for a fact that the warrant also included e-mail and text communications and the wiretap led directly to the raid on michael cohen's office. they were building all sorts of castles of speculation on top of this report that turned out not to be true. >> dagen: byron. we can speculate as to why they got -- nbc got the report so wrong. should there be punishment in this? i'm going to point back to brian ross at abc, remember the now infamous report that trump directed michael flynn to make contact with the russian official

byron white. eisenhower is still on the court, john marshall ii, william brennan and potter stewart and hugo black and william o. douglas roosevelt made up the no, ma'amies. this was 13 days after "the new yorkimes" published that first article, there were two hours of oral arguments. and we're going to listen to a little bit. tell me how the legal team was assembled and what the decision was, or the argument. >> the chief counsel for "the new york times" was professor alexander bickel from yale law school. professor bickel under whom i studied at law school was viewed in the language of those days as a conservative academic. he had clerked for jason frankfu frankfurter. he was, as he once put it to me, not a first amendment vuluptuary. and he was not. and indeed, if there was any criticism of the "times'" lawyers' presentations to the court at every level made then and indeed now, it was that we didn't talk enough about the first amendment, that we talked about separation of powers, we talked about statutes. we talked about a lot of things which we thought might be easier to attract the votes of conservative jurists on the court. >> listen to a portion of alexander bickel's argument before
