, donald trump jr. talks about sweet revenge. they're kind of talking to each other in terms of the family and the hard right but what you're seeing is the republican establishment in a way is sending a real signal to the white house which is saying that, you know, you can talk about sweet revenge and vindication all you like but we're saying this is not, you know -- this is not connected to the mueller probe and if you were to take action like firing rod rosenstein or making any kind of overreach to really derail or problemize the mueller investigation we're not going to buy that. they're protecting the white house and sending a signal and say you can spin all you want but don't take any actions that really, you know, put yourself in jeopardy. >> i suppose they're not saying we don't support the president and if there is nothing to hide then let the investigation play out is what i get from some of that. jack, being a former kgb spy, i want to get your take on what senator john mccain said about this w

donald trump, jr. will be here in a minute.st devin nunes's 4 page memo won't be the last declassed document to shake up congress. the democratic memo will be released. we should be able to see the new memo soon. no matter what it says, that's probably a good thing for everybody. for the first time of in generations, americans have reason to believe that our intelligence and law enforcement agencies misused the powers we have given them violating the civil liberties of americans and taking sides in the political contests. you can't trust a government that would do that and many americans don't. that's a disaster in a democracy where trust is key. transparency is the only antidote to that. release all documents and let us decide what they mean. maybe that will make us trust the government again. democrats disagree. last week party leaders and the media were yelling at us about how releasing the nunes memo would constitute a deadly threat to america. then the memo came out. whatever you think of the mem's conclusions, you have to

in that meeting, donald trump jr. senior adviser/son-in-law jared kushner and paul manafort were all there. donald trump jr.'s own e-mails knew the lawyer was offering dirt on hillary clinton. a few weeks ago, a "new york times" -- "the new york times" reported that former spokesman for the trump legal team was ready to tell the special counsel that hope hicks told president trump that those e-mails will never get out. her lawyer denied that. our chief white house correspondent john roberts picks up the story. hi, john. >> shep, good afternoon to you. like paul manafort before her when he appeared before the house intelligence committee, hope hicks refusing to answer questions about her time here at the white house. it's a move that many attorneys say is prudent. you don't want to be described as privileged setting. it's easy for someone to go up to capitol hill to say that look, that's a question that involves my deliberations with the president and i'm not going to answer that question. the white house when asked abo

donald trump jr.ill be here just a minute. but first, devin nunes' barcomb h memo looks like it will be the last declassified it document to jacob congress. the democrats -- if you are keeping up with us. weas should be able to see the w memo soon. no matter what it says, it's probably a good thing for everybody. for the first terms of generations, americans have reason to believe that our intelligence and law enforcement agencies l greatly misused the powers we have given them, violating the civil liberties of americans aren't taking sides and political contests. you can trust a government that would do something like that and many americans don't. that is a disaster in a democracy, when the trust of the population is key. transparency is the only antidote to that. so release all the documents, all relevant documents, and let the rest of us decide what they mean. maybe that will make us trust our government again. nothing else well. democrats disagree with that. just last week, party leaders and thei

i want to start with what donald trump jr. said on this let's play that. >> there's a bill sweet revenge for me and certainly the family in the sense that, if they wouldn't have done this, this stuff would be going on. this would be going on at the highest levels of government. they'd be continuing to do to my father, trying to undermine his action. >> john, what do you make of this sweet revenge line. >> well, i think -- >> actually to john first, i'm sorry, sarah. >> they're trying to smear the fbi, because the fbi is investigating donald trump jr. and his father and jared kushner and other members of their team. we've already gotten a couple of guilty pleas. so, it's not surprising to me that a member of the trump family would welcome the release of information they claim is damaging to the fbi, even though in reality, it isn't particularly damaging to the fbi. >> so, say arah, okay, the lawy, where are they on all of this? are they so confident about the outcome that they're giving donald trump jr. free rein to say whateve

remember, we had donald trump jr.ifferent statements about the nature of the meeting, and now hope hicks is making additional statements. i'm not interested in whether someone made a mistake on one day, a bad hair day, but interested in the pattern of activity over time saying there was a conspiracy to obstruct. i think that's one broad issue you're looking at. the second issue you're looking at is simpler, that is, i assume now or before that the team has interviewed hope hicks. they're going to go in and say not only what did you mean we that statement, but did you participate in conversations over time? this is all about a timeline from the campaign through the firing of michael flynn and beyond. did you participate in conversations over time on e-mail, in person, did you hear conversations that suggested that there was an intent to obstruct investigation? it's not one snapshot of one statement or event, but pattern of activity over time. she can talk about that. >> the "new york times" talked to three close source
