allegations involving hunter, the special council giving a lot of air quotes here is that under the statute, the special council has to be outside of the department of justice outside of the government, it has to be an independent, an ex prosecutor who has no connection whatsoever to the government. the special council they've appointed here is the us attorney for the state of delaware . we're hunter and bobby can reside show that you can see. there is a little bit of in could you live in terms of how, how deep that's going to be another little fly in the white man. i'm not the little wrinkle, so to speak. habit and investigation is going on in the congress. you have members of the house who are investigating 100, what was going to happen when you have to come attend investigation. let's assume theoretically that the house investigation or to get to dangerously close to something. the prosecutor could say, stop, you may be doing something that might interfere with our investigation. one cooper, perhaps a did that would be a deliberate move to try to support anybody from getting really close. so not to make this sound more complicated than it is. let me just

special council to investigate hunter and joe biden. would -- what also concerns me is that a special council under the regulations is supposed to be impartial, and outside the department of justiceis named special council is far from impartial and neutral. he served in the doj during two democrat administrations. he's clearly bias politically. and he's barely out of the department of justice where he spent most of his career. i am worried that this is shaping p to be just like the andrew weisman bob muller special council partisan team of prosecutors that are knowing to go after donald trump with a vengeance and not be fair as the special council statute demands. >> what a coincidence, they named a special prosecutor days after donald trump suggested he declares he's going to run if president and just after the republicans gain control of the house. what a coincidence. it's just, it's almost embare esing that -- >> -- >> yeah, and you look at this background i think you're going to hear lot more about this so-called independence of the special caught prosecutor. look at his run-ins in his proximity to lois learner in that investigation that the house is involved with. greg jarre

are you pleased that the department of justice appoint add special council >> this has completely derailed the presidency, he hasn't been able to reach across the aisle and put a legislature agenda because of the partisan politics that are going on but we're going to have to wait and see. i will say i know that the democrats are frothing at the mouth. we have a memo allegedly drafted three months ago after a conversation. no one seen it. we don't know what's going to be revealed. we're, a lot of speculation but we're >> i'm going to go through twitter and we asked the question, obviously edited sometimes is useful, sometimes it's all over the place, one recurring theme a lot brought up is they see this as a partisan witch hunt, people support the president but it's worth noting that this is initiated by the justice department, jeff sessions who recused himself. i feel like this feeds into president trump saying, put all the information out there >> i think they want to get back on track and this drip, drip, drip of information is hindering efforts. they're looking to get ahead of it as qui

department of justice. now, under your theory, the department of justice, through special councils would be investigating the president for taking the action they recommended him to take. >> a couple things, one, i'm not arguing -- >> i want to bring in chief political correspondent, dana bash. not only did jay sekulow defended him, in the past 24 hours plus, to say the president is not under investigation though the president's tweet says otherwise. what is the white house strategy you are hearing behind this full court press against the word investigation? >> i'm not so sure it's a white house strategy. seems to me it is a president trump strategy. that is get someone out there, get them on television, tell the world, i am not under investigation. sure, it contradicts the tweet, but, you know, it's certainly not the first time we have seen contradictory information or statements coming from this white house. this is a president who we know, if the comey testimony an memos are correct, has been ap lek tick since the minute he got into office, before he got into office, wanting the public to think and see he

of special council. you can investigate something without special council. in fact 99.9% of all investigations in the country are done by the men and women at the department of justice and none of them is called special council. so there is a threshold that has to be met and i don't think it has been met. >> trey gowdy and our first guest said congress is uncapable of handling the clinton criminality and the entire justice department is simply paralyzed. joining us tonight is christopher el -- ferrel. good to see you. i was taken a back when trey gowdy himself a former federal prosecutor. a man of considerable experience in criminal law made those statements. your reaction. >> i tend to agree with you frankly. and all sorts of very complex criminal activity, racketeering -- investigating every day by u.s. attorneys and by other federal law enforcement officers and they bring successful prosecutions and the clinton foundation and all of the activities over the last 20 something years nobody is more familiar with them than judicial watch and a confident tough nosed prosecutor can bring the case. you know when you go there you get weirdness. >> you mean like robert mue

moral law gala hours after the special council announced, trump accused the bite and administration of political attack. the corrupt and highly political justice department just appointed a super radical left special council. better referred to as a special prosecutor. this is a rig deal just as the 2020 election was rigged, and we can't let them get away with it. we can't do it. we cannot let this up. and dork ok the white house has consistently declined to discuss investigations involving trump abide and spokesperson said the president had not been involved in the decision to appoint a special counsel. it might not have been strictly necessary at this early stage. but merrick garland is a, by the books kind of attorney general, he's extremely cautious and he wants any indictment that comes down regarding donald trump's actions to be of beyond reproach. the accused or part of this group smith, who previously led justice department prosecutions of democrats and republicans for corruption, is described as an apolitical. and by the book prosecutor, he'll be under pressure to complete the trump investigations quickly, and decide whether to recommend crimina

of a special council. another one to oversee investigations into the former president. >> the department of justice has long recognized that in certain extraordinary cases, it is in the public interest to appoint a special prosecutor to independently manage an investigation and prosecution. based on recent developments, including the former president's announcement that he is a candidate for president then next election, and the sitting president stated intention to be a candidate as well , i have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special council. >> does anyone actually believe that? this is all in the public interest. the special council. known as john l or jack smith. he begaines prosecutorial career in 1994 as an assistant district attorney with a new york county -dda's office before becoming assistantment 1789 attorney for the eastern district of new york back in 1999. then from 2008 to 2010 he served for the international criminal court where he supervised all war crimes investigations conducted by the office of the prosecutor. then, he returned to the doj as chief of their publ

federal court building here in washington, dc goes to form president phased the special council jack smith, the department of justice, special ed counsel deck smith, who brought those charges forward. and i bet that made for some awkward moments. however, the platform president was advised by the judge, what he can do, what he can do, you can tamper with written is you can reach out to this person or that person, this kind of stuff. and of course, the judge also asked, do you understand the charges? how do you plead the former president pleaded not guilty to fall for charges, felony charges all. and that was pretty much it and back home to is a golf club in back minster, new jersey. right, so he's done some with denying any wrong doing, and yet he still is competing to leads the republican party. what will this mean for how you associates might see this a well, that's a very, very good question. and guess what? nobody knows really, but i can tell you that that tens of millions of dollars. busy campaign donation money are now diverted to the defense fund of donald trump. he did this before. $40000000.00 already used

what's at stake here is not just matt whittaker, but all of the decisions of the department of justice, the special counciltion. he's shown himself to be hostile to that investigation, he's provided a blueprint for strangling and stifling it. >> yes. >> and the stakes here are very high. >> he has, he said he thinks it's not worth anything. that he could starve it from money or someone in the role he now has, could starve it from money, it no longer exists. you're right about that, but lindsey graham tells us, whittaker has used all that harsh language. do you think graham is right? you know, you say a lots of things but then you're given a position of great power and authority, and you're going to do the right thing, is it possible that that is true? and that he's not a threat? >> that's exactly the kind of question that needs to be answered in a senate hearing. in a vote, in meetings with whitaker, that's the process that takes place, when the senate advises and consents. you know, alexander hamilton warned that the president might appoint people of such incision and ply ansi, they would become mere inst

this particular story that everything must now be referred to the department of justice, where a special council has been appointed. this was announced earlier today by the head of the justice department, mary garland, and this is what he had to say. earlier today, i saw i signed an order appointing robert her a special counsel for the matter. i have just described. the document authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violate the law in connection with this matter. special counsel will not be subject to the day to day supervision of any official department, but he must comply with the regulations procedures and policies. and also persistent questions in that press conference about kind of material contained within these documents. exactly. well there again, we heard from the press secretary and from the president himself that he is not a well cannot remember what is in these particular documents. this is all going to be part of the review, according to the press secretary, continue to set any questions or any answers to any questions, must come from the justice department. now

. >> what is the white house reaction to special council report on how the fbi handled the russian pro? >> i will leave that to the department of justice. >> that report seems to reflect the opposite. is he agreeing with special council? >> that is what the department of justice. as you just stated in your question we believe in an independent department of justice and that's what the president said when he was running and what he is set for the last two years. thank you very much. i will see you guys.

while the department of justice, the special councils have declined to comment, cnn, maybe they got something right, they are reporting that mueller could submit his findings to the attorney general bob barr as early as next week. earlier today the president had a lot to say about the release of the report saying that it is all in the hands of his new attorney general, not him. and justice department rules that he decides. according the special counsel regulations mueller will provide a confidential report to the attorney general bob barr explaining the decisions reached by the special counsel. next the attorney general will notify the chairs and ranking members of the house and senate judiciary committees "upon the conclusion of the special counsel's investigation." it is totally in the hands of the attorney general and his alone to decide what if any details can be released and in compliance with the law. it can control the timing of the notification over "legitimate investigative or privacy concerns." they were presented to congress to decades ago. by democrats, janet reno, the ag, deputy

reached out to the attorney general and a short time ago we got a statement, the department of justice appointed special council to assume responsibility for this matter, we will allow him to do his job. it's unfortunate that they are continuously trying to hinder that process by head elling stories to the mainstream media. the then senator did not have any private or side conversations with any officials at the mayflower hotel. >> if it's true, and we don't know, this would not be the first time they didn't disclose. he said he did it as a senator, that's why he didn't disclose it, right? >> that's right. >> during his confirmation hearing, sessions testified he does not have any communications with the russians during the campaign. he said the same in a written statement submitted to the senate judiciary committee. when reports emerged in martha he had two meetings with kislyak one in july and one in his senate office in september. sessions then conceded that the meetings happened but insisted they were part of his senate duties and had nothing to do with the campaign. sessions was recuforced to recu himself

that's the one that gives me the greatest desert of us. justice department has appointed a special council to investigate joe biden, after his legal team found more classified documents of the u. s. president's home in delaware. the discoveries are politically embarrassing from mister bible, given his criticism a form of president donald trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. this, if we are the latest classified documents performed in the garage of us president fighting home bloomington by law might and should have handed them over to the us national archives. after he left the vice presidency in 2017, might and see if it was an innocent mistake. more people know i take classified documents, classified material seriously. i also said we're cooperating fully incomplete with the justice department review that republicans accused the u. s. president of bar chrissy bite and shark p criticized former president donald trump for allegedly holding on to classified documents after sensitive files but escort at trump's home in florida last year. here's an individual that's been in off
