it's really interesting for the women on the hill because you have diane feinstein, who's the senateet in very deep in extended yearslong confrontation with tom brennen over a major substantive issue, but it got so fraught. and there's always gender implications. >> i'm sorry to interrupt, but i do think the women who are involved, the more sensitivity there is to not being clueless about when you're interpreting someone. so that may be a ray of hope because 20% of the congress is female. that's not very high. maybe if and when that proportion gets to be a more even distribution, something like this would not have happened. >> heat me pivot to a couple of things we've all been covering. anne, you've been to havana and know how big this issue is, how pote it is. but centers on the hill say the policies are really changing. the signatory proponents 06 this change, even they did not get everything they wanted. >> no. it really feels like a debate from 15 years ago, and clearly -- i mean the obama administration was criticized for not catching up to reality fast enough and making this ki

but bay area senator diane feinstein said that's not enough. today from his new jersey home, the president fired at james comey again, tweeting, i believe the james comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. totally illegal? very cowardly. cowardly in quotes. an apparent personal shot at comey's own concession thursday. he claimed the president had asked him to back off from investigating fired trump adviser michael flynn's alleged contacts with russia. >> that was kind of a slightly cowardly way of trying to avoid telling him, we're not going to do that. >> reporter: now the russia investigation is putting comey's former boss back in the political hot seat. >> i did not have communications with the russians. >> reporter: but that was untrue. sessions recused himself when he admitted having two meetings with the russian ambassador during the trump campaign. in a surprise letter late saturday, the attorney general wrote, he is pleased to accept the invitation of the senate intelligence committee to meet tuesday. bu

the fact that diane feinstein is asking for this indicates both the level of frustration with the trumpte house and republicans but mostly the trump white house which hasn't seemed to understand the enormity of what russia has done. i wish they would agree with you, scott. clearly, the president does not. he has never said a bad word about russia or about vladimir putin. i also think it indicates that we are in a different space now. after the james comey testimony, as much as trump and his supporters want to claim vim to victory, it was the opposite. like i said before, this dark cloud has become a funnel cloud. they are in a tough spot. >> i heard jeffrey lord laughing. we will get to you in a second. phillip, there's ais a significant development. this friend of james comey that got the memo and released it to the media is now communicating with the senate judiciary committee through the special counsel's office. that's an interesting little twist there. what does it tell you? >> it tells me, first if i were out there looking for information in this investigation and i'm in the congr

if you need a npneumonic, diane feinstein if you need a reminder of how to say it.mplausible at this point the special counsel investigating obstruction would have contacted the president about this at this point. i think at this point the special counsel team is just trying to learn the facts from others who can corroborate what james comey said. >> even if he's not being informed separately, is he just basically accepting as true that he is probably under investigation if he's taking -- >> so it would seem. i would seriously doubt that he has any independent information on which to verify it. and the only other point i would make is on this question of anonymous sources, of course, that goes on all the time. the official objection is to anonymous sources about investigations. that's what rosenstein is complaining about, not just anonymous sources in general. i guess i would only make one other point about the president's tweet. he says he's being investigated for firing the fbi director. of course, it's not just that. it would be the totality of things that could

chuck schumer did not know, diane feinstein didn't know in advance. it's a little different than what the president had been doing up here on capitol hill. there had been signs that he was learning the ropes of the protocols and how things are done up here to smooth the waters especially after they struggled to pass the health care bill. but this isolation of the president. i know peter alexander out of the white house had some reporting about the white house communications staff seeming to come out of their meeting somewhat unaware, or at least unprepared, for the president's tweet. again, that going on up here. we talked about this earlier, another thing noteworthy, i talked to senator marco rubio, who said russia did not come up at that dinner that the president had with tom cotton, senator, and marco rubio, as well as other lawmakers. cotton and rubio are going to be questioning jim comey tomorrow. hallie? >> kasie hunt on capitol hill. we'll be coming back to you through the hour as we keep an eye on this hearing happening now. senator richard bu

think republicans will want to pursue, they should stick their foot firmly in the door while diane feinsteinhas it open for them. gerri: they will have, to i don't think that other democrats are climbing on board, do you? >> not at all, the deaf ending silence -- deafening silence from everyone except feinstein. remember that loretta lynch privately met with bill clinton on the tarmac. these are talking points that were coming out of clinton campaign last summer. >> we're never going to get to the bottom of this, so i don't know who we're kidding. i will say, i think that james comey, threw this on the table to rehabilitate his reputation, to say, i am telling the truth. i'm throwing someone out there, it will be loretta lynch. we all know that the meadial say, hillary clinton is yesterday's news, we're on to donald trump. gerri: all right. thank you, great conversation. >> major shake up at general electric, ceo jeff immelt is stepping down after 16 years on the job, details next. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yea

. >> california congressman adam schiff echoing concerns from democratic senator diane feinstein, hes quote, queasy over lynch's interference with the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. my panel is back. troy, let me start with you. those are two big democratic names. understanding that public saw the meeting on the tar mark. other things that have gone wrong. >> and that is why there is an investigation. comey when he testified said that the attorney general asking him to call this a matter, instead of what it was, an investigation, gave him a queasy feeling. everyone has a queasy feeling. that will result in an investigation as to whether or not loretta lynch was ran interference for the clinton campaign in her role as attorney general, that would be a huge no-no. so they will do a full investigation probe into whether or not she acted inappropriately. charles: katie, it felt like comey really threw her under the bus, not just the changes of termnology. but a lot of other things he said, feeling that last administration did everything it could to help hillary clinton with respec

liz: diane feinstein quoting jim comey, when he said he felt queasy when loretta lynch said to him, you bust it down to a term a fbi matter. do you think that there is more to this story of obama administration interference, here? >> you bet i do. interestingly, when this whole thing of russia hacking. who was president what that happened? barack obama, not donald trump. who was the attorney general, loretta lynch, it was obama who said he was taking care of this and making it real clear to putin they would not tolerate it they tolerated a lot. but i do think that there is something of great consequence, when jeff sessions is testifying tomorrow, if i were a senator, i would ask him, would you please demonstrate that body language, that james comey testified about that was so vivid that he knew what you were technologies. because -- what you were thinking, i sat there and thought, he not an fbi agent, he is a clairvoyant, he with read the mind of jeff sessions, i would love sessions to demonstrate what he did. liz. do you think that sessions will rip into comey. >> i -- well i hope he t

if he did the investigation of the russia probe would fall to rachel brand. >> congressman diane feinstein is a fellow representative of the state of california very strong words. a violation of the oath of office. what's your response to that? >> i agree with senator feinstein. all americans regardless of party agree no one is above the law. if president trump would fire deputy attorney general rosenstein and got special counsel mueller fired i believe congress would begin impeachment proceedings. >> you think it's that clear? that would be a trip wire, a point of no you were if he were to do that even for republican members of congress? >> absolutely. that's what president nixon did. that's a principal our nation upheld during water gate. if you're going to fire everyone who's investigating you congress will impeach. >> there was a lot of words this morning the president confirmed he was under investigation. this was from nbc. the president hasn't been notified he's under investigation despite his tweet. the president is consuming the news and tweeting about it right? >> that's correct.

diane feinstein said this year's wildfire season could be worse than last year.he heat wave dried out very many station. she said that's cause aid possibly disasterrous situation statewide. more than 30,000 acres have burned already. >>> firefighters still battling two brush fires in two of southern california's most excludes of areas. one is in mal ib u. the other in calabasis. the one in hugey l ib u is on a hillside. homes threatened. it burned 25 acres and it's still spreading. the other fire is about 40% contained. the one firefighter did suffer minor injuries. the fire is also closed part of pacific coast highway until nine last night leaving a lot of people stranded. >> right now i'm waiting at sunset and pch for the road to clear to pet back to mal ib u and get back to my family. >> what's going on? >> it's daunting. >> just want to make sure everything is all right. >> wildfires also burning in arizona and in colorado. in the mountain community of prescott arizona 1400 children evacuated from summer camps, another 2,000 forced out of their homes. in colo

maybe if did i, i would do it better. >> diane feinstein is a member of several committees. senator, nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> i'm going to begin with you where i ended with senator collins. after all of this today, what is unanswered from director comey? did he leave anything unanswered that you feel like still needs attention? >> well, i think what was unanswer unanswered was who can possibly replace him? he has the strength, i have to take this out. >> that's okay. we understand. it is echoey in here. >> he has the strength. he has the ability. i think he's been a very good fbi director. >> you weren't happy with how he handled the clinton e-mail. >> that's right. and i told him so. but as i listened to him and i saw his credibility and i saw what he went through. i thought what a tragedy that this has happened. >> i want to ask, are you left with the impression, because there's some confusion here. is the president currently under investigation by the special counsel? one of your colleagues said there's no way comey would be testifying if, that special coun

this statement just in from california senator diane feinstein. one of california's two senators. we heard from ka mela harris expressing their does disgust. >> and senator feinstein is from san francisco obviously and it's interesting she mentioned the 1993 california shooting which we talked about. one other thing we have been talking about is your work from -- people come in and there is violence and of course the mayor of san francisco when he was shot and killed in the offices of city hall. . >>> and you -- i was just at city hall to talk to the mayor. i had to put my things in a basket. i was wanded, i walked through -- it was like go to the airport. . >> we have covered several situation that police and other law enforcement go through as they now sort of shift their training to dealing and responding with an active shooter. today mardy said we mourn for the victims of the tragic accident there. firefighters and police were on the scene with in minutes. the incident though highlights the need for cooperation between fire and police people. he points out -- that just last wee

california senator diane feinstein writing, "the message the president is sending through his tweets is that he believes the rule of law doesn't apply to him." >> cecilia, you reported president trump appears to be targeting rosenstein. and you're hearing that rosenstein may be recusing himself from the russian investigation? >> reporter: yes, and we're also just learning that on this day where the president seemed to confirmed the investigation, he's added another high-powered lawyer to his team. john dowd, who has respected john mccain and other high-profile people. >>> and bill cosby's trial, the judge furious, and with the jury deadlocked, they've now asked for the definition of reasonable doubt. here's linsey davis. >> reporter: late today, bill cosby fans rallied outside the courthouse. but inside a fiery exchange after almost a week of deliberations in the comedian's sexual assault trial. stemming from this moment last night when cosby's spokesman called on the judge to declare a mistrial. >> if they don't have a verdict by now, just say this is a deadlock. >> reporter: today

that drew concern from democrats like diane feinstein, who sits on the senate intelligence committee only considering firing mueller, but rosenstein as well. in a statement calling such a move a "blatant violation" of the president's oath of office, feinstein warned quote - "if the president thinks he can fire deputy attorney general rosenstein and replace him with someone who will shut down the investigation, he's in for a rude awakening."if trump does fire rosenstein - or he recuses himself, mueller's investigation would be overseen by associate attorney general rachel brand... who the senate confirmed in may to be the third highest ranking official at the justice department. brand previously served at d-o-j under president george bush.rachel brand/nominee for associate attorney general:"if confirmed, i will strive to undertake my roll with integrity, independence and fidelity to constitutional principles and the rule of law."

that we have apart from the house intelligence committee now asking for memos and any tapes is diane feinstein, the top democrat judiciary committee written a letter to that the chairman of that committee calling on the committee to inge inge investigate all issues relating to james comey and here is part of the letter. it is my strong recommendation that the judiciary committee investigating all issues. these issues should be developed by our legal staffs presented to us and subject to a full committee hearing. one more thing that senator feinstein says is she's supported of issuing subpoenas in those cases where the committee does not get cooperations. this is one more of a major development in this story. >> thanks. shimon to you now. does russian interference in the 2016 election get back in the center stage here? >> well, i think it is still obviously part of the investigation, but that's the big question now when the staffs become the focus of this investigation. it is been going on for a year now. we have been talking about it for quite sometime, the fbi has been looking at it since jul

the obama years, we would have a very different reaction and i want to stay on waters and diane fein i feinstein have all said, no evidence of russia collusion. and it goes back to what he fights for what he believes in and you have to think that it gets tiresome? >> i want to say sure your viewers and everyone all over the country and donald trump has the ability to turn his face against the wind and tune out the detractors and keep his face towards the american family and some of the attacks this week and they were deplorable and i think, denounced by people across the political spectrum appropriately and whether it is the day in and day out humdrum media and this president has been burdened under the weight of high taxes and regulations that have been stifling and he's fighting every single day. i spoke to the novel academy about a week ago and able to tell them, you now have a commander-in-chief that is working to rebuild the military and a commander-in-chief that will have their back and the applause that i got was overwhelming and our forces know and the american people know it that presid

diane feinstein said the appearance is not a sure thing. >> i don't know whether it will happen or whetherll be public. meanwhile president trump is facing more scrutiny after james comey testified that the president pressured him to end the investigation into former national security adviser michael flynn. some republicans chalk it up to political inexperience. chuck schumer reacted to that. >> the fact that he's new and he may not say things so seriously, that's not an excuse. he is the president to the united states and he has to step up to the plate. as committees on capitol hill ramp up their investigations into possible collusion between russia and the trump campaign, chairwoman ronna mcdaniel argues that it's all much to do about nothing. >> i am calling to an end for the investigation about president trump campaign colluding with the russians. there has been no evidence. i don't think that should continue. of course we need to figure out what russia did with regard to the election, but not yet do you have a single senator saying there is definitive evidence of any collusion between

diane feinstein said the president believes he is above the rule of law but he cannot do that. is in for a rude awakening. there is concern on capitol hill. he can fire one or the other or both of them, and some democrats, they would be the first to come out, saying if either of them or both of them were fired, there is right talks about impeachment proceedings. it has not started yet, democrat staying away from this, trying to let donald trump and republicans figure themselves out, but it is rioting talk they are seeing on capitol hill with the big i word, that is impeachment. haidi: more liquid adventures expected with talks in d.c.. thank you so much for covering that. one feature on bloomberg we like to bring to your attention is the interactive tv function, you can find it at tv . you can watch previous interviews like the one with the south korean finance minister and haslinda amin. you can look at securities on the bloomberg function we talk about and become part of the conversation by sending us instant messages during shows. this is for subscribers only. check it o

>> there's nothing there to be had but one thing is for sure and that is diane feinstein said she isemocrat fromia that ls behavior interfering with the investigation and telling comey to report to the press this is a matter as opposed to investigation. that leaves her up into some jeopardy because when it leaked documents as private citizen, official documents in the course of his employment, he's got trouble administratively. further, the leak was to influence an investigation. sci-fi's leak was to start just as to get it away from the justice department and the pious friend as special counsel. cheryl: real quick, one of the more fiery moments was between sessions. do you agree with his explanation and you think you convince the american people of this explanation? >> yes, i do. it is extremely factual and sincere. he laid his cards on the table and basically said that in a lot of situations where ambassadors are there. i never had a church conversation to collusion in a manner. by the way there's no evidence to suggest that. all this is his innuendo. cheryl: thank you for joining

diane feinstein said this -- >>> pret yes rough words from her, she doesn't normally use language like that. do you concur with her sentiment? >> i think everyone just needs to keep watching this and take a deep breath. the fbi will do their job. they don't sit around and read tweets. they will do their job, the fbi will do their job, and the senate intelligence committee will do their job. the best thang can happen for everyone, the president, the country, the government, is for a full, thorough, and credible investigation. that's the best thing that can happen, and that is what's going to happen i believe. >> he referred to the investigation, i believes with as a witch hunt i want to say six or even times. that is not embracing the investigation and that's an attempt to under mind the credibility of the investigation. >> one thing we learned, i think from the testimony of multiple people now is that the president is pretty fired up about this. he feels strongly that he did nothing wrong and hements people to say that. i don't think that is a mystery and he is expressing himself in th

coming to grips with here, we have pointed out every democrat, mark warner and joe mansion and diane feinstein then clapper and comey and brennan and rogers and everybody, no evidence of collusion. but yet they still keep going with the innuendo. and it's on for months and months and months. had they get away with basically lying? that's what it is to their audience and creating this breathless hysteria that may be impeachment is around the corner. we got them tonight. and that we got them the next night and we got them the next night. never a retraction, never honesty. >> you would think that maybe what she told rolling stone is something that she should use as a preface in front of every show. but no. it is an illusion factory, it is an echo chamber, and donald trump doesn't have to just deal with the previous swamp that exists. he has to deal with these festering fever swamps and that this conspiracy machine, and people are sick and tired of it. there's so much real news that's going on, and it's an insult and slap in the face by rolling stone. by the way, just this week, had to settle a $1

you have diane feinstein, you have chuck grassley. both want to look at different thi things and i think they reached some kind of agreement here. >> they want to look at the fact she met with bill clinton on the plane, on the tarmac, and according to comey's testimony, she told him, don't call it an investigation, call it a matter. >> he threw that one out there. that was an immediate. put it in front of the bus and see how fast it hits her. this is a political diversion, but it's her fault. you meet the spouse of the most significant investigation you have on the tarmac of the airport and then you have the former fbi director who is supposed to be, i suppose, hammering the president of the united states. hey, by the way, she told me, as a former fbi guy, we don't do matters. we do preliminary investigations and full investigations. she said, don't call this an investigation. she did it to herself. it's an aversion but it's her fault for doing it. >> is it over, the republican health care? dean heller is now the fifth republican to g
