for his reaction, let's get to the federal prosecutor doug burns.nk of congressman and jim jordan's predictor? >> i'm not so sure will see that. i think we'll see the same thing you saw with the ig report on comey, protocols were not followed, things are not followed correctly, d.o.j. and fbi. i don't think he's going to go that far for two reasons, somewhat political but to it the court that determines whether or not a warrant was obtained illegally. >> didn't he refer people to be prosecuted. >> your exactly right. he might turn around to put a point on the fence, protocols were not followed and it should be referred. but i don't think he'll turn around and say he was obtained illegally because that is a function of a court. >> to think horowitz should testify? >> absolutely. and just a comical point. the minute that something is perceived to help one side, they cannot wait to bring in bubbler when everybody in washington, d.c. -- they knew that it may not be productive at all and even unfair to him and the point is that they did it. now you have

fda opening criminal investigation into the devices, what could happen, former federal prosecutor doug burns this is such a horrible situation. >> it is. eric: how could this happen in the first place? >> i was looking at it, fda has investigation, office of criminal investigation, they have special investigation, arrest powers, put that to a side, i'm like what's the criminal, you know, angle here but in looking at it closer, what it is people vape nicotine but thc, chemical component of marijuana, getting tricky because marijuana is legal in some states but even in the states where it's legal it's illegal under federal law which is complicated. no, no, it really is, a lot of banks won't deal with the proceeds of legitimate companies in colorado, for example, because they don't want to violate federal law, okay, fine, the point is on the thc side if you're in a state that makes it illegal, you have a bootleg black market for it on the street and so they are looking into the supply chain side of that because they are theorizing, nobody knows exactly why the medical problems have been sued bu

with me is former federal prosecutor doug burns. thank you so much for joining us.en watching this unfold. your reaction to all of this? >> obviously is more political than legal. legally you look at the text of the constitution and impeachment is for treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. so you work off of that line. that line was a little confusing. and if you look at the history obviously the johnson impeachment, the bill clinton impeachment, you're left with what gerald ford said, the 38th president, impeachable offenses, whatever the house of representatives says it is on a particular day. i'm not being cute, the point is it's much more political than legal. my reaction, there was a hysterical overreaction to this phone conversation and obviously as a trial lawyer, i have worked with tape recordings for 34 years and we don't give opinions about it unless we listen to the tape. you have to watch everybody going on and on about a tape they have not heard. that is not academic because we have looked at a transcript, by the way, that has been conv
