donna brazile blows it off with a document about it's a networking thing. we all know people can you get me into such and such? there's a difference so when you control millions and millions of dollars in government contracts that my company just so happens to get or you pay me off whole bunch of money for a speech. >> she also said the words smoking in there and legally what you are looking for is that smoking gun to take it away from that's how we do it and that's business as usual. prosecutors, that's what you're trying to find because you have to go in for that intense factors sort of getting into the mind and what are they intending to do. is it an official act just for being nice and playing along. you take it out and make it that official act in the newer looking at not only a civil but a crime at that point. tom: i'm not a lawyer but i know that. speaking to another lawyer, how does the process go and what do you think the chances are of getting a special prosecutor to dig into where all of this is? >> the call for a special prosecutor is ever-incre

i don't know what talking point donna brazile will use then.democrats have absolutely failed the inner cities. it's not about going and meeting with people, it's about fixing what's wrong. have all these meetings by hillary clinton and democrats saved the lives of over 450 people in chicago this year? they obviously have not. so it's not about the meetings, it's about fixing the problem. again, we are not here to politicize these deaths. we are not here to play political football with them. we're here to fix the issue and that's what donald trump will do. >> today's "washington post," as you know, boris, as a unique approach by the trump campaign when it comes to debate preparation. is this the case, does the campaign need to be a bit more vigorous in its approach. >> the campaign is very vigorous in its approach to the 71 days of the campaign. hillary clinton has not been out there with 270 days answering actual questions so she is totally unprepared. no matter what she's doing in her debate prep, it's still a bubble. i know that from experien

donna brazile, you got to hand it to her on the honesty front. you know i like donna brazile. but it's not going to fly with the american people to say, look everyone is bought off. you know, like your donors give you lots of money so they get access the american people don't get. they get to rub elbows with power and set themselves up for future success in a way regular americans don't. that's something we have to live with. you say it's actually not that simple. it actually might be criminal. >> well look their claim is there's only smoke, but lots of people die from smoke inhalation. the smoke is the problem here and there are -- look in addition to what trace discussed, we saw e-mails last week that the crown prince of bahrain was going through the clinton foundation in order to get a meeting with hillary clinton at the state department when normal channels had prevented him from doing so. and the same channel. it was doug ban to huma abedin. >> trace just took us through it where you got the guy from the clinton foundation doug band specifically sending the people he want

is it just the start of a house cleaning that donna brazile, who's now on leave -- she is no longer a cnn contributor for the time being. she is the interim chair of the dnc. replacing debbie wasserman schultz. is this just the start of a house cleaning over there? >> it sounds like the start of a housekeeping. at least that's what sources are telling cnn. our jeff zeleny has gotten some information on that suggesting that it is the beginning of the house cleaning. it doesn't suggest to us how many people are being shuffled, moved around. but it appears that the dnc thinks there needs to be changes made, wolf. >> let me -- joe johns, thanks very much. i want to get one or story in. the centers for disease control and miami-dade county officials are ramping up their efforts right now to control the spread of the zika virus. right now the focus is in one miami neighborhood. the number of cases caused by local mosquitos rose to 14 people, up from the four announced on friday. that prompted the cdc to issue a travel advisory for pregnant women telling them to stay away from that neighborh

donna brazile has been through this before. she's been through any number of staff shake-ups not at the dnc which she ran in the past. but in the gore campaign in 2000. she knows exactly what she's doing. as long as the morale is not broken. as long as the folks out in the field understand that they're part of something that's alive and moving forward and has a good chance of success, that problem won't become any more serious than it is right now. i mean, notice how quietly this is happening. you don't see anybody making what they would call a noisy exit. even debbie wasserman schultz, no bitterness, no recriminations, no accusations, no press. as long as that stays the case, the dnc's problems i think will be entirely internal largely unseen and won't affect operations in the field if i know donna brazile, and i do. she's not going to let this get out of hnd. >> it hasn't affected fund-raising. they raked in $90 million in july. they were very excited to report that yesterday. we just got the fund-raising numbers from donald
