and you mentioned, jack, all of the indictments under the clinton administration, reagan administrationis could go on for years. one of the things we know donald trump is not good at is compartmentalizing. that was something clinton was good at. they put a team together to make sure that that team was focused on the investigations while clinton could govern while he obviously had to deal with this. i'm hoping just for the sake of the nation that somebody, or a group of people are sitting down with trump in the white house today, hopefully ty cobb, hopefully it's killy, hopefully it's other lawyers, to put a plan together to say, mr. president, you cannot be tweeting about this. you cannot overreact. as we have seen from john boehner. >> how many times has that conversation been had. i think that's asked and answered. >> i know. but this is like a -- >> you're still looking for a pivot. >> if they refer to this as a witch hunt, i think that's a serious mistake. like john dean said, learn from the mistakes in the past. they need to bring in ty cobb and his crew to answer questions on this

it's uranium. >> we should be focusing on the continued lies of the clinton administration. >> the clintonistration he said. finally, fox has found the real russia scandal. that's how it's portrayed. uranium, uranium, uranium. fox got help from republicans on capitol hill who announced fresh investigations into the uranium issue. then president trump picked up on it. but clinton is overall a convenient boogie man. look, there may be something newsworthy here. i'll leave that to the experts. but in right wing media, this uranium story blotted out the sun. it fit in a pattern we've seen before. trump's media allies downplay, deflect and deny stories that are trouble for the white house. instead they tell viewers and readers to hate hillary clinton. >> it's time, folks. it's time to shut it down, turn the tables and lock her up. that's what i said. i actually said it, lock her up. >> no subtlety there. she combined the uranium story with the trump dossier story full of lies. here's the question for you. are you confused yet? that's the campaign. it's a campaign of confusion. just constantly s

what we should be focussing on are the continued lies of the clinton administration. the continued fallacies that they perpetuate. >> so now, cornell, it's an administration. you may not have noticed it, but there was a clinton administration involving hillary clinton who was not elected. i kid, but what do you do now? what do democrats do now? >> well, i think it's kind of startling at how over the bait and switch routine that they're playing is now. it's kind of frightening, right? i mean, they're clearly trying to sort of this bait and switch and it's all about hillary, but to the congressman's point and to the front page of the "washington post," this is real serious, right? i would argue that his -- most of his agenda was already in trouble from repealing obamacare, which he didn't have a majority in favor of repealing obamacare and you certainly don't have a majority of americans in favor of the current tax plans. so you have a very unpopular president, you know, putting forth -- trying to push forth things that are, quite frankly, broadly unpopular. i think the

. >> the clinton administration. >> i didn't remember that.know that happened. >> can trump turn this into a clinton -- >> it already is. it's already so muddled and so clouded. everybody has already taken their side, so that, you know, you've got a polarized group here and a polarized group there. there is almost nothing that can come up in the mueller investigation that's going to move those two poles. it has to be so dramatic and has to break through in a way that will get people out of these bubbles. if not, we're going to be where we've been this whole time. >> russia won? >> russia won. look, all it has to do in my opinion, what the indictments look like, where this thing is going, it certainly sounds like it will last through the '18 election cycle and that's the challenging part of it for the white house. second, there are even those who are murmuring does he have the gumption to fire the special counsel. that would be a monumental event. >> tomorrow is the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end. >>> when we come back, a vi

the, the continued tal sizz they continue to perpetuate. >> the lies of the clinton administration. the most dangerous reaction from conservative media is the growing and unmistakable targeting of special counsel robert mueller. >> it's time, folks. it's time to shut it down, turn the tables, and lock her up. that's what i said. i actually said it. lock her up. special counsel and former fbi director robert mueller must be fired immediately. his role as head of the fbi during the uranium deal and the russian extortion case, his friendship with jim comey demands his firing. >> fox news ran a graphic today questioning mueller's credibility with this picture of a giant russian flag and last week "the wall street journal's" editorial board wrote mueller could best serve the country by resigning. the white house has intimated this won't happen. the lawyers say there is no plans to do it. the president does what he wants. if he wants to fire mueller he'll have to navigate the special counsel regulations under which mueller was appointed. former acting solicitor general of the united state

he gave us -- he's the fema director of the clinton administration. an a plus for how we responded to the hurricane aftermath, all of the hurricanes, and that includes puerto rico. >> well, keeping him honest, that is just not true. don lemon called mr. wit to see if that's what he said and he said it was placed on harvey and irma, not maria. that in fact mera had not happened yet when he said it. the truth, 28% of puerto rico still has no access to drinking water. some people are resorting to desperate and dangerous measures. >> reporter: nearly a month after hurricane maria hit residents around the town of der a dough keep tapping into this water facet with a sign that reads danger, do not enter and despite the warnings from a police officer, they can here to fill containers of water. but few of them know this we will sits in an area designated by the environmental protection agency as a superfund site, where the ground is known to contain dangerously high levels of toxic chemicals. it's located in the northern edge of the island west of san juan. i

one year before hillary clinton and obama administration approved this corrupt uranium one deal. what we've learned this week is that the fbi, the department of justice, all new in 2009 that this was happening inside our country. they did nothing to stop it. the same democrats come at the same media outlets that were screaming bought a murder for a year, lying to you every day about donald trump, i getting next tos story. keep in mind we have an fbi informant in this case who infiltrated this putin network right here in america. he has evidence, emails, personal recordings. documents. insider knowledge of all this. that america's national security

he gave us -- he's the fema director of the clinton administration. gave us an a plus for how we

jimmy carter went to north korea on similar diplomatic mission for the clinton administration back in994, he told president trump's national security adviser general mcmaster he's prepared to go, speaking to new york times, jimmy carter said so far the answer from the trump administration has been thanks, but no thanks. heather: we will see if that changes. thank you, ryan. certainly disturbing story. let's talk about this one, another one, four u.s. soldiers killed during ambush in niger sparking new debate on capitol hill as lawmakers were stunned to learn about the deployment. >> i didn't know that there was a thousand troops in niger. >> he didn't know there were a thousand troops in niger, did you? >> no, i did not. heather: i don't know whose fault that is, they should have known. some in congress calling as long as radical islamic terror is the target, congress doesn't need to sign off. secretary of state rex tillerson warning iran-backed malacias to get back out of iran after isis fight is coming to a close. >> the fight against daesh and isis, militias can go home. >> asking

are going to do, you have nunez, the poster boy with helping the trump administration with these investigations, going after clintonails and the obama administration and the uranium one deal, because they are oversight deals, and that's your answer. >> no, we have two things coming together. the alleged actions of the president that may or may not be illegal and impeachable, and the other comes to the ethical questions, and the two come together about the fit. we never had a president whose fitness has been questioned in this way, including nixon who is regarded as unstable by many of his colleagues through his presidency. that's what these people are saying, both in private and now mccain, flake, and corker have said in public, the romper room. this is not just a partisan attack on the president of the united states. this goes to the heart of whether the president of the united states is a danger to our values and the country and our place in the world. he is an aberrant president and human being, and that's what these individuals -- if you listen to what flake said very carefully, it's about aberrant. >> the pres

the clinton administration, specifically bill clinton, paid $500,000 and we saw in this is just releasel clinton was meeting with white america just before the deal was completed. the clintons have been so crooked for so long that there's never been accountability. i hope the justice department look into this for a change because this is where the real crime is taken place . abby: why has it taken so long? be talking about the dossier and conclusion as president earlier on the show almost one year now. did republicans not push hard enough to find the details to figure out where this money was coming from because now it's reported that over $12 million was spent on this dossier from the lawyer who works for the dnc and with the hillary clinton campaign and why has it taken so long for the country and the media to figure out? >> it wasn't just the clinton campaign in the dnc to pay for this. there is now reports that the fbi pay for a portion, as well. this is us taxpayer dollars and absolutely should be an investigation. what i don't understand is how $6.9 million from the clinton campai
