huffington post from congressman darrell issa of southern california.es i'm very pleased president obama has signed into law the survivors bill of rights legislation, i co-sponsored to protect victims of sexual assault. issa is aligning with the president and sexual assault survivors, considering the allegations trump is facing, couldn't be a bigger departure for the nominee. i want your reaction to that. >> darrell issa still supporting donald trump and voting donald trump, and that's why people in the 49th congressional district of california are so concerned with where darrell issa is and not pushing back on donald trump and that's why colonel doug applegate will be elected to house of representatives. they show him ahead of darrell issa in california. >> congressman, appreciate your time. to the audience watching now, this is live pictures, donald trump has landed in grand junction, colorado. it is his second stop of the day in the state. he's expected to take the stage there shortly. also this hour bernie sanders is in flagstaff, arizona, rallying

darrell issa inured a statement.e worked with him and others -- a guy like darrell issa, hey, i'm buddies with president obama. >> and donald trump said last week he was unshackled. you sgloe president obama seems unshackled right now a little bit where he doesn't have to think about the relationships on capitol hill the way he did before. he can sort of punch back at darrell issa whereas sometime wos have a hesitancy to do that in the past because he had to worry about working with him later on. >> one of the things the democrats think they've been effective at, learning lessons from marco rubio and others in the republican primary debates, getting under trump's skin. knowing the triggers. seen it in hillary clinton's debates, personal stuff, trump reacts. every day one of the democrats try to do it. tim kaine says a sore leez oser >> donald trump is already talking about how the game's rigged. i've got to say, that means he's losing. if you've ever played a basketball game, and like half way in the middle of the ga

josh, this to me, the darrell issa is two things. it's, one, the political problems that down-ballot republicans are worried about but also, what is the republican party in 2016? what are you voting for? what are you getting when you vote for this party in 2016? >> it's funny because people talk about a three legged stool of conservatism. trump has kicked out all three legs of the stool. he does not run on social issues at all. it's not at all clear if you're a serious social conservative he's your guy. he's abandoned the conservative positions on trade, the economic aspects of immigration, doesn't talk about taxes very much, doesn't embrace the bush vision of foreign policy. so if you take away all of the policy stuff, all you have left is sort of this anger. and that's what donald trump has run on and it's left the down-ballot candidates a little bit awash as well. >> in 2012, the ryan budget was a manifesto and more than that, an operational document that was actually a plan for what the priorities were and they got attacked over

of immunity for a number of clinton's underlings, among them california republican congressman darrell issaoins us now. congressman issa, what did you witness yesterday? >> well, obviously the director wanted it to be personalized that somehow people were disparaging the fbi, and nothing could be further from the truth. what we were doing is questioning what seems to be a botched investigation at all levels, whether it was trey gowdy or jason chaffetz or chairman goode lat or myself, in the course of an ordinary prosecution and questioned the director, and he had no good answers for most of them. judge napolitano: some of the things that don't happen is no grand jury was impanelled, no subpoena was issued, no search warrants were served. effectively no supervision from the department of justice. they gave her lawyer a form of immunity when there was nothing to testify about and willy-nilly gave a form of immunity to the others. why give immunity? what justification does he have for that when they weren't going to give you anything substantial in return against the target, mrs. clinton? >> i

darrell issa's race has suddenly become competitive.ere's someone who's been in the house since 2000. and you could argue that he's got other problems going on now. he's not run a great race. he waited a very long time to go up on television. he's got a huge bank roll. he could have gone on tv in the summer and really buried his opponent in a big way, but he waited. perhaps he waited too long, and now it's a competitive race. jeff, you mentioned the other race in the central valley, jeff denham. he's had a little bit of a tougher race, a tougher history, but both of those competitive races coming up in a couple of weeks. >> all right. certainly, the presidential race once again, another surprise. it seems like every week there's a surprise. pbs "news hour's" john yang, thank you very much for being with us. >>> and now, a closer look at california's ballots. since california reinstated capital punishment in 1978, nearly 900 death sentences have been handed down, but just 13 condemned inmates have been executed in that time. on election

me elijah cummings, and congressman, given your role both on the select benghazi committee and darrell issa's committee of reform, what do you hear having been in the trenches when you hear jason chaffetz and others talk like this? >> i hear that they want to obstruct hillary clinton when she becomes president, and will do anything in their power to destroy her efforts. they have been obstructionists all along with regard to president obama for the last six years putting every kind of road block that you can imagine in his way. and they like the idea of being able to say that the president of the united states is under investigation. and so they will spend millions upon millions of dollars as we already spent in benghazi and other investigations of taxpayer dollars on this mission of destruction and distraction. >> in fact, i believe congressman jim jordan on that select committee that chairman gowdy referenced i think even said today that the benghazi committee, which is one of the longest in american history released an 800-page report that that should keep going. >> yes, about two months a

california republican congressman darrell issa member, a member of the house judiciary committee gettings up. what is interesting about that, sir, is that there was no heads up granted to anyone at the state department, to anyone at the white house or anyone the clinton campaign. what do you make of that? >> well, based on what we have seen leaking out through wikileaks they probably were informed and well fine that out years from now. think what most interesting is what we appear to have are e-mails not previously seen by the director, not seen in the investigation, and i think the american people have to ask, after four years, after hillary clinton left office, why is it she hasn't turned over the documents she was required to leave at the state department by law when she left. >> what would i bet or what do you think it could be? i don't want you to just speculate itch understand that's tough. but that would change the directyear's mine or have him do a pride swallowing about-face here? >> it's hard to come up with the specifics. what i think we can safely know is it a not just more e

darrell issa, a lot of republicans are pushing more. they want to continue this clinton investigation as long as they can. you can tell comey responded to them. i assume they leaked the letter because that's their incentive. they've been leaking things of the investigation throughout the investigation. a little bit of a split on the republican side and you've seen some members i think chuck grassley of iowa, for example, who actually said -- who also criticized and said this letter was too vague as well. so you saw paul ryan, jason cha chaffits kind of jump on hillary clinton but some republicans saying this letter seems vague, we want to know more. off lot of people on the republican and democratic side against mr. comey right now. >> nick, at the same time, you have republicans with no incentive at all for introspection on this. if this was even unethical on the part of people on capitol hill, to try to push the fbi to update them and immediately leak it for the purposes of an election, there isn't really a consequence that seems to b

this is the point that darrell issa, the california congressman who's in a very difficult reelection fight said in a statement saying congress needs to be -- they need to elect a republican -- this decision shows exactly whey we need strong watchdogs in congress to ensure thorough oversight of the executive branch. people that we have not heard yet from are democrats, particularly ones in difficult reelection races. some of them have already give an pass to clinton on the e-mail issue but we expect to hear more from them now. they will be forced to respond so how will they respond. we dent know yet, brooke. one other point of news, chuck grassley, the senate judiciary committee chairman, saying he is requesting a private briefing with the fbi to learn more about this new probe so republicans clearly are seizing on this believing they finally have a campaign on and an issue will hound hillary clinton if she were to become president, brooke. >> there's so much we don't know. there's senator grassley trying to get more, manu, thank you so much. let me bring basil and kayleigh back in. b
