the doj, how he felt like the doj wasn't his doj and he wanted to get involved in the doj. he said it himself to reporters out loud so it's not just reporters that are hearing it from sources he said it himself out loud. even if the president is saying -- >> and we don't want to conflate things >> i'm not conflating. even if the president said it in passing, it is still the president of the united states made his feeling very clear about what he wants the doj to do for him. >> the president can do a lot in directing the doj. he can investigate all sorts of things he can order the antitrust investigation, silicone valley, perfectly appropriate. he cannot order the political prosecution of a political enemy. that he cannot do. he can't conflate what he can and can't do don mcgann did his job i'm very glad to hear that i'm not going to rush out and embroider "the new york times" report with the conclusion the president broke the law and was doing water board style of his enemies. >> i don't think he said he broke the law. he's not taking it that far. he wanted to do that and w

peter provides a wonderful bridge between the aclu and the doj because he has done superb work for both institutions. he worked at the aclu after graduating from new york law school. that joint connection has been the case for many other terrific lawyers who have been on the aclu staff and then moved to the doj, or sometimes vice versa. that illustrates an important motif that is going to run through my remarks today, as it runs through all of my writing and speaking. that is this. that despite very strong disagreements among all of us, opinionated, engaged people in this country, we are all united by our core national ideals. which we certainly have never achieved in reality, but which we are all driving to achieve. namely, liberty, and justice for all. on this constitution day, let me quote the late great justice william brennan. when a journalist asked him what he hoped to achieve on the supreme court, brennan gave an answer that all of us can echo. i'm confident that we all share this goal, despite some deep disagreements about how to reach the goal. namely, to make the words of the

he asked the former white house counsel, don mcgahn, to order the doj to investigate her. he asked don mcgahn to do that. mcgahn rejected it. "the new york times" also reporting that trump wanted the justice department to investigate the man he had fired as the fbi director, jim comey. "outfront" now, the republican governor of ohio, 2016 presidential candidate john kasich. governor, i appreciate your time tonight. obviously this news, breaking just before we came on the air. >> erin, before we -- yeah, before we go any farther, first of all, congratulations on being back and god bless owen, your little baby boy. >> thank you. that is very kind. nice to hear his name on the air. >> there you go. >> what's your reaction to this development tonight? >> look, i am no longer sort of surprised by anything. in fact, i called my legal counsel and i said, how can a president tell the attorney general who to indict? i mean, it just doesn't work that way. so, i've got no idea what that was about. it's, you know, it's just another head shaking, head scratching move that we see, and t

matthew whitaker was chief of staff at the doj. he will now be acting attorney general until a new attorney general in senate has to confirm that person. right now tonight are you looking at bob mueller's new boss. this is what he said about trying to limit the mueller probe. >> bob mueller and his small u.s. attorney's office as i've heard it described today does go beyond the 2016 election and get into trump organization finances unrelated to the 2016 election and really unrelated to russian coordination if it even exists. i think that would be crossing a red line. >> crossing a red line. whitaker describing things we know bob mueller did and rosenstein even approved, like looking at manafort's now admitted crimes that weren't related directly in 2016. you are looking at your new attorney general. he has discussed in public. tonight democrats are saying he should recuse. he's discussed a blue print of sorts to further oversee or interfere with, yes, the mueller investigation. >> i can see a scenario where jeff sessions is replace

se sup supercede or apply to the doj act. act was passed long before the vacancies reforms act. there's no way the doj act could cross refer to something that wasn't passed until 20 years later. >> in the original law the department of justice outlined a line of succession in an attorney general vacancy. >> that's right. >> and it would specify the deputy attorney general should become the acting attorney general. they would now say that this later law overrides this department of justice act. but if it was intended to override the law of the department of justice, it would have specifically said so. >> and let me say the act as written is a mess. it is a messy act. i will say i've dug into this for a couple of days, and there is a plausible argument that just based on the text of this messy act you could read it -- >> this is the vacancy. >> the vacancy, yes. this is a fight. not to the finish. but to the beginning. a fight that can only be won, if we stand together for one cause. him. expert care for every new beginning. >>

we understand it's not just the american cable association that the doj is looking at. the american cable association as we first reported, basically laid out a panoply of potential and alleged anti-competitive behavior on the part of comcast. they're looking not just at that, but there are others they are looking at. the doj, we should point out, they have not launched a formal investigation, okay, but they continue to gather evidence and you know, i can't -- i don't want to predict the future, but if you're betting, it looks like they are trying to make a case. now, whether they go that far, we don't know. we have been told by people inside the doj that whatever they do with comcast is divorced from what's going on at at & t, trying to break up that merger. on the 6th of december i will be in d.c. that day, by the way. there's going to be oral arguments on where the justice department is positing its appeal of the lower court ruling that approved the merger of at & t and time warner. they will give oral arguments to say why it should be broken up. it's before a three-

i don't think the doj today or tomorrow. >> why would he put somebody like whitaker as the acting doj, acting a.g.? >> somebody like whitaker in what respect? >> a loyalist, somebody with very heavy-handed views about this. certainly someone that you didn't vet that carefully to see whether or not he was going to reflect well on you, undervetting. >> i think he had gotten along with him at the briefings. >> he says he doesn't even know him. he says he was just told about him, counselor. >> he said initially he knew him well. >> which do we believe? >> i think something in the middle. he knew him enough to know that he liked his reactions to things. he knew that he had been -- he served in a senior position. and he knew that other people who might very well be in line for succession, like rod rosenstein, for example, has enormous conflicts and there's no way that he could have or should have made rod rosenstein the acting a.g. so he picked the a.g.'s chief of staff who was lawful -- >> could you imagine george w. bush ever picking up the phone and saying, mike, this guy's really been b

basically off the table, with the doj.t think there's a case there, a criminal case there. that's what they're telling people. they believe the only serious regulatory issues involve the model 3 projection. some of the statements elon and team made on those model 3 that they are going to produce x amount and they didn't, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. now, mr. musk would come back and say hey, what part of production hell does it mean that i'm lying about my production -- my projections about model 3 production. lawyers believe that he's got a good case on that as well. so they are discounting the remaining doj s.e.c. probes. they believe to show that he's lying is going to be a very, very high bar for the government. not impossible, but that's what they're saying. liz: you said this months ago. >> listen, i can't tell you that the s.e.c. and doj don't have an e-mail from elon musk or somebody that proves that they are all lying. you know what i'm saying? i don't know that. i can just tell you that right now, that's the fee

investigations into misconduct in the top levels of the fbi and doj. the chairman of the house devin is here. he has been spear heading those investigations. he will join me next to discuss what happen happened to the problems. all of that plus rexerox from our panel right now only sunday morning futures. >>> we begin with house republicans prepyring for their new role as minority. you know, me now with an exclusive interview. wisconsin congresswoman liz doctor,heney. good to see you this morning. thank you for joining us. >> glad to be with you. >> can eye walk us through your priorities. >> first of all, we have a lot to be with focused on. we have living through the economic boom and we have to make sure we do everything necessary to prevent the democrats from reveersing course on that. they made it clear that's what they want to do. we have to work with the white house and colleagues to make sure they didn't happen. there is continued progress that requires the republicans takeback the house. >> it's great to see so many more women moving into thes

is that something a president can say to the doj? >> can say, i suppose he can say it, it ain't going to happen. >> why? it didn't, but why? >> didn't because nobody at that department would follow that order. this is an echo of sting thomet that happened before. recall he add a conversation with don mcgahn. told don mcgahn to call up the d oj and get something done. if you order me to do it, i'm leaving. >> what does that tell you about the president, what he knows about how power is supposed to be used? is this about misfeasance or potential malfeasance? the difference for the people at home, is this him not knowing you don't do this or is this him saying i know what my power is and i want to use it this way? >> i think what it tells you is that donald trump has no unexpressed thoughts, which is too bad because we all have unexpressed thoughts. . we have -- >> what is that, unexpressed thought -- >> a thought you wish you could do that you don't then articulate because you know you can't do it. we all have thoughts like that and un

this, according to a report out by the new york times, it details how trump tried to weaponize the doj to go after his political opponents. the president quote told the white house counsel in the spring he wanted to order the justice department to prosecute two of his political a adversaries. his 2016 challenger and james b. co comey. what trump wanted comey and clinton investigated for is unclear. how far he's gone to pursue their prosecutions is unknown. the revelation that the president repeatedly pressed justice officials to investigate his rivals has stunned even his defenders. >> apparently the president of the united states wanted the department of justice to go after james comey and hillary clinton. >> it's a terrible mistake. you don't want to weaponize the political differences. you don't like what something did in america today, politically, oh, let's prosecute. let geese after them. lock her up. impeach. that's not the way to go. if you don't like what people have done, run against them. use political weapons. do not use the criminal justice system. >> trump's doj pursuits

the doj is looking into this.e -- >> they would have settled it by now. >> lisa: they are looking into it, antjuan. corey? >> we don't know at the bottom line is but we do know that the inspector general is still looking at the crooked members of the fbi, whether that is james comey or mccabe -- >> here we go. [laughs] >> that's a fact. the ig is looking into those people. the deputy director of the fbi has been referred to a criminal referral for lying under oath on three separate occasions. we know there is a part of the clinton team, bruce ohr and nellie ohr, part of fusion gps, all tied to the clinton cabal, and we are going to find out once and for all what they did to try to subvert the will of the american people and if they were involved in any way, shape, or form, falsifying a fisa application just by american citizens because of if donald trump wasn't elected, we would not know any of those things. >> corey, bless your heart. you've done a good job of repeating -- >> lisa: antjuan, -- >> you've done a go

-china tech dispute and the doj is backing them up. first, to our top story. after 14 months, amazon has whittled down 230 applications -- 238 locations to two. nashville will become the so-called operation center with more than 5000 jobs. -- cut up with their seniors senior vice president and asks about the plan. we will have shareholder meetings in these headquarters, board of directors meeting, our , our employeeings meetings. the rest of around leadership will move around. as these headquarters grow, we will have senior leaders based in these locations. i'm on the leadership team, i live in washington dc. i'll be going up to new york a lot, which i'm excited about. we are a seattle-based company. came -- became more than seattle. centers across the country employ 20,000 people. we have invested billions over the last seven years. as you know, we hire a lot of folks and we pay up and down the income scale. these will bring a lot of positive benefits to new york and tc -- d.c.. emily: how do you feel about the backlash that amazon took advantage of cities? ?

as a doj employ and now as the inspector general for the doj. there are days i'm sure you have notices where fairness has a very small constituency. but there is never a day that is not important. and you have always been fair and you have always been thorough, and it is hard to be a neutral detached refere. but you have managed to do it. i want to thank you before i lost the chance to do so. one of the foundations of our country is the criminal justice system that is both fair and reality and perceived as fair and it must be both respected and worthy of respect it must protect the innocent, and punish those who have not comapplied with the law, and punishment as a corrective component and a punitive component. the punishment that is meted out by the judge is the sole punishment our society should be expected to be visit upon those convicted. what happens after the judge or the jury makes the decision, what happens after an individual is convicted, insuring our justice system is fair and proportional does not end there. our justice system and th

additionally, of course, rosenstein is a lifelong doj employee. he's been scrupulous about trying to appear to be by the book, trying to bend over backwards to comply with rules. whitaker in the meantime, as we reported just about an hour ago, has said just last year that he had already forejudged the conclusions of the mueller probe. he already claimed this probe, which he is now supervising, was essentially without merit. and that is something that without a doubt will rankle not only career officials in the department but also people fairly high up who have to work with whitaker day to day. >> let me go to robert. you're the trump watcher for me. i think he's got steel ones to pull this off. it's unbelievable. he didn't go to rosenstein. everybody in the planet said he's got to go to rosenstein as the fallback if he gets rid of sessions. out of nowhere, he picks this guy who auditioned for the job of trump protector for months. he got the job. how come we all thought he couldn't do this and now he's done it in our face and nobody is trying to r

zeitgeist everybody is talking about it and so are we and arts twenty one special with karen helm stat at doj of l a global media font in bonn round two.

the doj technically oversees the fbi. andy mccabe not a household name but he was the deputy director of the fbi. he crossed paths with donald trump and found himself out of a job and a pension and is now under investigation in d.c. we'll figure out where that goes. so this is not a one-off. this goes back to something that chris and i and others have talked about, which is nixon's big mistake in the saturday night massacre was doing it all at once. we are dealing with a president, and i'm not casting aspersions on mr. whitaker or the outcome. it is possible that bob mueller will find lawfully no obstruction by donald trump, we'll have to wait and see. but i would note we are dealing with a president who is under investigation for the way he acts as president. the president does have pardon power and chris and i have covered presidents who have made mistakes with the pardon power but the president of the united states cannot go around auctioning off pardons. cannot exchange pardons for things. so yes donald trump oversees

, he tried to undermine amazon through the doj.e have seen him try to use this as a political tool but this is different. it is not a specific case but looking into two individuals for a crime. >> a political rivalry. let me set up a question by calling this greatest hits moment, from the second presidential debate in 2016. >> if i win i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there has never been so many lies, so much deception. >> it is awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you would be in jail. >> what they are saying is the president didn't do it, didn't take any action. >> the president is the civilian who oversees that, and political accountability because that is a city or police force or whether you're in the country at large. donald trump oversees the justice department. >> he has the power and authority to set goals for the justice department. there is a tradition the president d

someone that hasn't come up through the system, fbi or doj with robert mueller, who was fbi director for 12 years, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein or christopher wray. he's not part of that generation. didn't come up with them and is soon as somewhat more objective and an outsider. a point we discussed earlier, he has behind the scenes been a quiet advocate for the declassification of these russia records. the reason i keep saying that, what we heard from the president today, the first time that he talked about the russia records and number 2, he indicated that he was going to move as quickly as possible to make them public. >> shepard: thanks, catherine. new reporting and context on whitaker. trace gallagher with more. >> piggybacking on what you talked about, there were report going back to september saying the white house chief of staff john kelly cath matthew whitaker saying if jeff sessions left, whitaker would step up. that's when rod rosenstein's ten jury was in limbo because of the report that he wore a require about president trump. keep that in mind. we know whitaker

and the doj is backing them up. but first, to our top story.t is official -- after 14 months, amazon has whittled down 238 locations to 2. amazon officially confirmed it is opening two headquarters, one in long island and one in arlington, virginia. plus, nashville will become the so-called operation center, with more than 5000 jobs. we caught up with their senior vice president, jay carney, and asked about the plan. jay: these will become full headquarters. we will have shareholder meetings in these headquarters -- board of directors meetings, our all hands meetings, our employee meetings in new york d.c. area, just like we have in seattle. he will move around. the rest of leadership will move around. as these headquarters grow, we will have senior leaders based in these locations. i, myself i'm on the leadership , team. i live in washington, d.c. now. i'll be going up to new york a lot, which i'm excited about. we are a seattle-based company. but we long ago became more than just seattle. we have employees in 46 states. we have 18 tech center

rossi is a former colleague of rod rosenstein at the doj, experienced federal prosecutor.n, a spot-on reporter for us. gene, as our prosecutor, and say in the a-building at the top of the show we went through what this means and had a lively debate and discussion about how important it is. i want to go in, for viewers who are listening and saying, okay, so what? if mueller knows this, is this something that is in his purview? and what does he do with it? >> let me tell you this. i could draft an indictment against the president of the united states on two counts. one would be his relationship with michael cohen on the election fraud. number two, i could draft a scheme and an attempt to obstruct justice against the president right now, and robert mueller has the jurisdiction and the authority unless matt whitaker puts a converge over it, he has the authority to go into that. because it's the heart and soul and the gestalt of what robert mueller's looking at, absolutely. >> gene, let's zero in on just that point. which is, put aside the mystery around the 2016 election. put

whitaker could refuse to have doj lawyers support that decision. ultimately if bob mueller comes forward with a report that might form the factual basis for congressional hearings on, say, impeachment, whitaker could refuse to allow that report to go forward to the hill or to the public. so bob mueller, his basic recourse is to take this directly to congress or ultimately directly to the public. >> so jennifer, here's a thing that people have talked about, speculated about for the last year or so, as mueller has known that his position was not secure and might be tenuous that he's taken various actions to try to make sure that his work sees the light of day, even if he ends up getting fired or knee capped. one is that he's farmed out, outsourced some things, including to the southern district of new york. we have reporting on one of those cases, fresh reporting from "the wall street journal," about the stormy daniels case that headline is that trump played a central role in hush money payments to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal. we kind of alread

grave ignorance or malfeasance about the fbi and doj. how goes the education of donald trump from his lawyers, from his white house counsel's office from figures at doj who interact with them? >> there's a thing we're missing here which is the president could find himself in a fight with the supreme court. so if mueller wants to subpoena him and wants him to answer questions, then all of a sudden, trump will see himself in adversarial position with the supreme court and john roberts is going to be in charge of making that decision. if there's a subpoena fight it will probably end up in the supreme court. this is an interesting foreshadow here where, you know, the president didn't go out to pick a fight but he's pushing back and maybe in six months, the fate of a subpoena is sitting in front of the chief judge. i can't imagine this fight would impact that but it adds to the drama of what could come. >> it does show us how donald trump will approach any fight with the supreme court or any decision-making process that ends up there about a

the doj, congressional action, past president election including barack obama on this front. and the next house speaker nancy pelosi says whitaker is unfit. the president's action is extremely dubious legal grounds, the president is dodging the senate confirmation process, a political lackey at the helm of the doj solely to abstract the mueller investigation. your take? >> a legitimate temporary appointment, in an acting role, a number of names floated the attorney general. the president will make a nomination by the time the hearing is held. we will have 53 republican senators in place, rick scott was with us today, participated in our policy lunch. we will have more breathing room to get that confirmation done. i would expect this committee to fully confirmed attorney general working on behalf of the united states. then look at nancy pelosi. she will be coming in a speaker, perhaps not, depending how the election goes in the house. democrats have to decide if they want to legislate, work together to form legislation that moves the country forward with a wants to spend their

within the doj, nobody knows the insides of the doj better than you do unless you actually work there. what has been the reaction to whitaker? has there been any rumblings, or has it been -- have people been buttoned up? >> certainly the president's political appointees at the justice department are falling into line and supporting is the president's choice. among the career people, there's a feeling that rod rosenstein is the person who's essential to maintaining the justice department on track. there's a certain concern about whitaker. some people at justice have had some dealings with him as the sessions chief of staff. but i think the hopes are that rod rosenstein stays in that position at the justice department because they believe he's the person keeping things on track. >> and then one other question. we haven't had an indictment from robert mueller in a little while. the expectation is that will change. there will be another indictment at some point, potentially soon. if there is one, will we see the same process play out that we saw previously when rod rosenstein would hold a

not doj versus congress thing. it's just doj trying to deal with operating these rough seaingseas. you have situations where statements have been made that are contrary to the culture or the mission of the justice department and the leadership has stood up. for instance, at one point, it might have been off the cuff comment by the president at some point. he said maybe we can put these bad guys in the car and it's okay. the cops can knock them around a little bit. and, look, i don't remember the context in which he said that. i understand, you know, he watches tv and the heros on the cop shows get a couple extra licks in and nobody seems to have concern about it. it's absolutely imperative that the leaders of a law enforcement agency have strictly, you know, black and white rules about things. and not allow any deviation. even if it might be human nature after, like, a highly charged, you know, case or whatever. get a bad guy and maybe it's human nature -- but you cannot sanction that. you recall the head of the dea at the time, chuck rosen, he issued something to all personnel say

your reporting is that that's where there are troubles inside doj? >> there are. there's a resistance brewing inside the justice department according to our reporting about whitaker. for a couple of reasons. one, to the point mimi was speaking of, he seems to have a conflict of interest with the russia probe given his past statements, given his connection, for example, to sam clovis who is a political friend and ally from iowa but happens to be a witness in the mueller probe. the other piece of this, though, people in the justice department don't feel he's qualified for this job, that he simply doesn't have sort of the qualifications and experience to be the attorney general. he's not been before senate confirmation, there's a question out there about the constitutionality of even having them as the acting attorney general given he's not senate confirmed. he was a staffer at the justice department. the third point is, there's infighting at the justice department and there's a sense he was not loyal to jeff sessions when he was jeff sessions' chief of staff. there

we have to see what facts come out and what doj decides to do about it, if in fact they believe federalwas violated. >> and there's an acting ag which could make it that much more complicated, margaret. >> yeah. i mean, i think you both touched exactly on what's important to keep an eye on here is that there are some timelines and pivotal news events to put in context with this. one is michael cohen's sentencing hearing december 12th, the other the takeover of the house by the democratic party, and in january we'll see -- i know this will shock everyone, a lot of new investigations. this will certainly probably come up as a new line of questions or flushed outline of questioning. and then the attorney general and acting attorney general who already is kind of the subject of a lot of speculation about whether he is going to be providing political cover for president trump or whether he is an honest broker, and this falls squarely into the middle of all of these debates as we move forward now, if in fact there's a chance that this would constitute an actual violation of election law, is t

>>> the president using the justice department to try to get to doj officials to prosecute hillary clinton. >> not stepping down as chairman. >> that's not true. >> a defiant mark zuckerberg vows to stay on the job. the embattled face to face. >>> keep romaine lettuce off your thanksgiving table. e. coli forcing that warning from health officials. >>> and temperatures taking an epically cold turn. windchills in the single digits in new york for thanksgiving. putting the balloons for the parade in jeopardy. >> there goes my thanksgiving plans. that's all i had in store beyond football. >> let's hope i packed appropriately for this trip to new york. >>> good morning and welcome, i'm kaylee hartung in for christine romans. >> good to have you here. i'm dave briggs. wednesday, of november 21st. the president's calls to "lock her up" were not just for rallies but were in the white house where president trump was taking steps to have the justice department prosecute hillary clinton. a source telling cnn the president pressed then-white house counsel don mcghan to make it happen. >> the president

former fox news contributor andrew mccarthy and james grill ger the doj who became an acting doj. democrats are already calling-- . [ laughter ] for whitt ker to recuse himself because of his past statements. your reaction? >> the previous comments are not recusable comments. mr. whitaker is a fine person. he is completely independent. he knows about the administration of this particular case. i am delighted that supervision of case has been taken away from deputy attorney general rosenstein in light of his conduct. i think mr. whitaker will handle it fine. the democrats are diagnose was theyth always do. when they don't have anything else. they start screaming and yelling. it is an embarrassment to them it. will continue and mr. whitaker will be just fine. >> laura: george you were acting aj i had forgotten. shore said, given his previous comment advocating defunding and limitations. mr. whitaker should recuse itself for the duration of his timer as acting attorney genera. just so people know was we're talking about. i want to play the sound bite from mark whitaker. it from cnn i

thing, not a doj versus congress thing. it is doj trying to deal with and operate in these very refuse seas. so you have situations where statements have been made that are contrary to the culture or the mission of the justice department and the leadership has stood up. a for instance is at one point -- it might have been a sort of off the cuff comment by the president at some point. he said when you put the bad guys in the squad car it is okay cops if you knock them around a little bit. i don't remember the context in which he said that. i under that we watch tv and the heroes on these cop shows often get a couple extra licks in and nobody seems to have a concern about it. but it is absolutely imperative that the leaders of a law enforcement agency have strictly black and white rules about things and don't allow any sort of deviation, even though it is human nature. you cannot sanction that as the leader of the law enforcement agency. chuck rosenberg, he was the head of the dea. he issued something to all personnel in the

the classes that tom asked doj to look at already are eligible for good time credits. question was, does the bill provide enhanced good time credits in the answer is it does provide more certainty and more flexibility to decide who gets what. we put those four classes tom cotton had questions about on the list. >> shannon: that's why people have discussions and raise concerns. i want to ask you about thomas farr. you voted procedurally to move him forward, not on the merits of whether or not he should be a federal judge. you know that there are plenty of objections. naacp says he needs to withdraw his nomination. he's the architect of the worst voter suppression law the country. after you voted to move them forward today, at least the next consideration level, news one had this. their headline said tenets only black republican tim scott sells out and vote on trump's racist charge nominee. jennifer rubin, solved describe conservative bloggers had what a fraud he is on civil rights. referring to you. >> hogwash. if i took the time to respond to every negative criticism i

before trump fired comey, there was simply a russian collusion investigation inside the doj.iring comey raised the stakes because it raised the question of whether trump was pulling a nixon and obstructing an open probe, and that firing famously led to mueller's appointment, and comey backed up the rational for that appointment under oath, testifying president trump targeted him to change the russia probe. >> it's my judgment that i was fired because of the russia investigation. i was fired in some way to change, or the endeavor was to change the way the russia investigation was being conducted. that is a very big deal. >> a very big deal. firing the fbi director to change a probe can be an element of a crime of obstruction. that is very big. think about where we are tonight, because it is new. trying to get the fbi director jailed to change a probe is impeachable, all on its own. it is very, very, very big. that's what "the new york times" has exposed, a single act that is more serious and criminal than the whole thing that got mueller appointed in the first place. let me re

on one of the most important issues ongoing inside the halls of the doj.n the first few weeks of taking office, sessions recused himself from all things russia. he should've told the president, in my belief, ahead of time. that ultimately led to robert mueller's special counsel and a witch hunt, spending months, over a year, digging and digging and digging into everyone associated with trump. no evidence a of trump-russia collusion found, paul manafort in prison over bank applications and tax fraud from years ago. young trump campaign staffer george papadopoulos, lieutenant general michael flynn, convicted of lying to investigators, nothing to do with russia. now, with sessions out, the acting attorneyus general will e matthew whitaker, he will russia the investigation. the left is racing to demonize this man as we speak, and as i have been shouting from a mountaintop for years, there are a lot of crimes and real, actual collusion that needs to be investigated if we are going to have equal justice under the law.w. the russian lies bought by hillary clinton

are growing for whitaker to recuse himself, pull himself out of the russia investigation portion of doj just as jeff sessions did before him because whitaker appears to have prejudged both the investigation and one robert mueller. and new reporting indicates that his previous business ties have attracted now the attention of the fbi. before leaving for paris, trump was asked about the concerns over whitaker. >> well, matt whitaker, i don't know matt whitaker, but i didn't know matt whitaker. >> whitaker, who, again, i didn't know, okay? >> i don't know matt whitaker. >> so if you're counting at home, that was four denials which makes the following more interesting. >> he was very, very highly thought of and still is highly thought of, but this only comes up because anybody that works for me, they do a number on them. but matt whitaker is a very smart man, respected man in the law enforcement community, very respected at the top of the line. >> and further, hearing the president say today i don't know matt whitaker makes this even more interesting. >> but i can tell you, matt whitaker is

how do you balance your previous experience as a doj attorney?it is believed that the incidents are highly underestimated. that there are far more that are not ordered. is this good for the business of uber? right thing to do. it is good for all of us. we have always believed that if you enhance the safety of the platform for women, you'll make it safer for everyone. what this effort does is it takes a closer to this goal of having a safer platform. i understand why some people might be reluctant. the chief legal officer is usually the guy in the room saying take less risk not more. the reason this makes sense for paramount duty to our shareholders. we also have a duty to our stakeholders. those are the millions of partners and writers who used the platform every day. we have to do right by them. this is a step toward making the platform sustainable in the long term. airbnb is taking it a step further. microsoft allows class action around sexual harassment. why not go that far if there is that yount to be made address more systemic problems? i ha

at the end of the day my goal is to do the right thing and i called and spoke to the author of the doj memo from 28 years ago to understand and appreciate the role tom far played in the helms campaign. if he was the architect of that racist campaign i would have been a no without any question but i found so far from appointees of the obama administration to my conversation with the author of the memo is he was in fact not the architect of the campaign and the character witnesses from the obama administration coming forward have been pretty strong but i'm continuing my research because the thing i hold myself accountable for is doing the right thing, not the politically acceptable or politically experienced but the right thing based on the evidence of the evidence is pointing me towards that. i will continue this journey through the night and into tomorrow and make the best decision i can. >> you have proven that before and difficult votes where the white house, you voted your conscience and we watch tomorrow, the vote is at noon, thanks for stopping in and we will follow the criminal j

sanjay: we appreciate the action taken by the doj in terms of protecting intellectual property . will change in any way. emily: you have been telling investors that the memory chip market has not changed. we are not seeing the mad rush to grab market share anymore, but i'm curious about the evidence that you are seeing. another one of your executives told a ubs conference that there had been some inventory issues recently. how do we make sure there is not some big downturn coming? emily: we just -- sanjay: we discussed in our september earnings call that as is well known, there are certain cpu shortages. the important thing is that memory and storage are in the very early innings of driving the growth and experiences that have enabled, whether it's in future, to-- in the ultimately truly process all of sensors onhat the the car will generate in order to provide for a safe, comfortable driving experience for the future. or in the data centers today, in terms of really unleashing new business models, you need machine learning, artificial intelligence needs to process lots of data.

i have to say, you know, the problem with the fbi and the doj?verything that we've seen there with that corruption and the degree they went to invalidate an american presidential election. that kind of a problem didn't just exist as an isolated issue within the federal government. i think it is throughout the system that presumes it is completely in charge and these elections are charades and they are meant to give the impression to the american people that their vote counts. you saw hillary's reaction of the shock that something didn't happen in a predetermined way. look, you asked rick scott maybe at the end of last week how and why is she still there? he's been the governor. he really didn't answer you. and that's what concerns me as well. the system allowing a woman like that to continue to operate. because in a way this kind of chaos maybe suits the establishment in general, not just the democrats. >> sean: by the way we're watching the recount as it takes place as we speak. we expect that wednesday they will have the winners. if i'm not wro

right now doj is again in the news about the succession of the attorney general. i've been hearing, some are asking whether this is something that could be reviewed by the inspector general, whether someone can be appointed, whitaker in this case, to the ag rather than the succession. he is at an appropriate question for an ig to review? >> i'll ask another ig that question. >> we will be doing my job if i didn't ask you a hard question. >> you know, i think i'll step back from the specific question, just jealous speaking, go back to what i i mentioned earlier. we are there as igs not to resolve, as follows i think think fair to say, legal issues, with one exception, and i'll turn to our access site. there the question is what was the ig act. as many of you know in 2008 congress amended the ig act to provide ig should have our general councils. answer in that instance we very much in a legal disagreement over the meaning of the word all in the ig act. >> which is ridiculous. >> as i say, for those who followed it, the office of legal counsel issued a 62 page opini
