you were once the house ethics committee chairman. would that be a serious complaint, this person violated the whistle-blower protection act. >> is that would be a issue that the ethics committee to consider. they're supposed to investigate any violation of house rules or in this case the breaking of the law. they can't -- they can't investigate you criminally but if they -- i think it would rise to the level that the ethic committee would have to take this up seriously and if they determine it was a violation of the law, it could do further to the department of justice for the review or for prosecution or they could sanction on their own. >> and this is what house republicans has been doing behind the scenes, in testimony the house republican counsel for the oversight committee has been naming the alleged whistle-blower and trying to see if people met with that person. >> i believe it was vindman who was asked point black or george kent, excuse me, i read so many transcripts this week, was asked point blank is this person the whistle

the house ethics committee looking into conduct by rashida tlaib and hastings.tedly tlaib used campaign money to pay her bills. and hastings allegedly having. >> relationship with an aide. rajer stone was convicted today of lying to congress. he faces 60 years in prison. >> that's a terrible conviction rate. i have known roger for 50 years. he worked for me a couple times. he walked himself into this thing. the bottom line is he was a trump advisor. when trump became president, he's not in the game. and he gave his enemies -- lou: would you give him a pardon. >> i would not recommend it. lou: jeff sessions reportedly running for u.s. senate in alabama. that didn't work out too well. he seems to be working to win favor with the president. >> he's saying good things about the president. i think he will have a tough reelection, and even if he gets re-elected it won't be the same as when he was there. he was a good senator and he was supportive of the president. whoever wins the primary we have to support and make sure we get rid of jones. lou: we have the president

>> well, the ethics committee would have to investigate whether there were any violations of him going and meeting as they are claiming. but you know, i reached out to several sources on both sides of the aisle. one republican source told me they believed it was more than likely an investigation would take place, but it doesn't touch on whether he would be found guilty of doing something inappropriate with the ethics committee. but democrats are saying they want answers, and at the moment, the ranking member does not appear to be giving them. that's something you could definitely see as developing as we move along. and as you might remember, martin, there was an investigation ethics investigation that happened back in 2017 when nunes did a white house visit and then made claims about surveillance of trump transition officials. and so that is something that when there is an ethics investigation into you, members will tell you that that being included in every news story and every television segment, that hurts them. so this could also just have a huge impact on ranking member nunes goin

i mean, i was chair of the ethics committee. i used to be aware of situations like this.st simply wrong to use your office in this way. and i did appropriations. i was on foreign -- the foreign assistance stuff. i know how we would withhold aid. we'd withhold aid to countries not meeting certain benchmarks. there was a process and it was all very transparent and no political benefit to me or the other members of the committee. there was an immediate political benefit to the president and the fec rules are very clear that you cannot use your office. you cannot take anything of value from a foreign entity. that's a full stop -- >> let's just be honest that the supreme courts held that information and things like that are not considered of benefit. look, there's no criminal case here. the president has the right to ask for this. should he have done it? that's a different question. >> what's the answer to that? what's the answer to that? >> i would not have done it. no, i would not have used the conversation, no matter how it was brought up. i wouldn't have used the conversat

and it might -- it might lead to an ethics committee investigation against nunes. look, he's been through this before. he had to recuse himself from the russia investigation when he was chairman of that committee, before the democrats took over the house because there was an ethics committee investigation. i believe he was cleared ultimately in that investigation so he knows, you know, the sort of sensitivity of what you personally do and how that can affect your business on that committee and whether you need to recuse yourself or not. >> meantime, let me ask you about rudy guiliani because as you heard earlier, he says he has insurance when asked if he is worried about trump throwing him under the bus. tonight guiliani says he was just being sarcastic. far from being a joke, though, would rudy guiliani have any expectation of loyalty from trump? i mean, look what happened to michael coen and jeff sessions. >> manafort. a lot of people who have worked for trump at a pretty high level, you know, and ended up under the bus. so, no. i think it is very interesting that

house ethics committee investigation got underway and today, katie hill explained her resignation. >> today is the first time i've left my apartment since the photos, taken without my consent were released. and i'm scared. i'm leaving because for the sake of my community, my staff, my family and myself, i can't allow it to continue. >> reporter: the "la times" reporting that the main authors of some of the articles on those conservative websites where former campaign advisors to steve knight, the impoundment sheet defeated. and the only times reports that night is considering a run to win back his house it. randy paige reporting. fungus woman hill plans to step down to my. >>> the late show host stephen colbert will sit down with house speaker nancy pelosi tonight. it comes as the house voted to formalize impeachment proceedings. >> this was something that you could not ignore. one conversation, that undermined national security by withholding military assistance to a country that had been voted on by congress of the united states. to the benefit of the russians. at the same time, jeo

disclosing to the intelligence committee or his colleagues going into the series of hearings that in fact, he had a conflict or additional information. that he wants a legitimate ethics inquiry. it's hard to prove. it's hard to suggest that he was using taxpayer money for raw political purposes. but what also this suggests to me, the intelligence committee and devin nunes. who knows what led up to it. they were clearly orchestrating some type of benghazi of joe biden. you recall what happened with hillary clinton. kevin mccarthy was honest. he lost his speakership pause he said, look what happened when we had the hearings. hillary clinton dropped in the polls. they were preparing to do this to joe biden. they were trying to be the congressional arm to help the president in a political campaign. that's without question. >> hayes brown, trying to package all of this, two weeks of stories, the stories that percolated up, how much does that distract from the task at hand? we talk about the timetable, whether or not there might be a vote by christmas or new year's recess. is it a extraction? how does it affect the timetable? >> so i think it affects the time able, they ha

>> i don't want to comment on what the ethics committee should do. particularly vis-a-vis the ranking member of my committee. i will say that we have subpoenaed and did before these allegations were in the public domain, we have subpoenaed mr. parnas and mr. fruman for their records. we would like them to fully comply with those subpoenas. we may go beyond those documentary requests, but we first want to see the documents. and we have seen time and time again the importance of getting documents before witnesses testify, as we saw during the hearing, when sondland, ambassador sondland brought in documents showing the secretary of state was implicated in this. it would be nice to have those documents before we question people like the secretary of state or question people like mr. parnas. >> so your committee will come up with a report and then send it to the house judiciary committee. your counterpart, there, is congressman jerry nadler, chairman jerry nadler, democrat of new york. take a listen to what he had to say just before he took over the chair

>> i don't think they would seriously suffer an ethics committee investigation if that were to occur.t, given the fact that public sentiment, especially starting off on the wrong foot is not a place you want to be. the president encouraged everybody, he is right, defend on the merits. the merits get back to the point. it is ultimately about the call. this is not about the whistle blower. >> republicans wanted nine witnesses to testify and they got three. why were those three selected, volcker, date hale and -- >> schiff could not justify not calling them because he called them in the top secret inquisition. the great myth of the whistleblower that he is entitled under the law to anonymity. he is not. in fact he doesn't qualify as a whistleblower by meeting two requisite conditions. don't take my word for it. read the 11 page opinion by the department of justice and the acting director of national intelligence concurred. this guy ain't a whistleblower. steve: from getting fired for what he said. >> that is the point of the protect act to protect retaliation from firing, demotion or tra

so likely a complaint would be filed and i suspect the committee, ethics committee would take up the atter at some point. so i think it's pretty serious, if true. >> what did you think of this allegation in general, of what -- he sat in this committee hearing for two weeks, right, kind of helping to oversee these impeachment hearings. if this is sitting in the background, if true, what does it mean? >> well, i'll tell you what, i -- devin nunes and other members of the intelligence committee have oversight responsibilities with respect to this ukraine scandal and now, again if true, devin nunes is part of this whole mess that he's supposed to be overseeing. i think that certainly puts him in a very difficult spot in terms of his oversight responsibilities as ranking member on the intelligence committee. and that would be an issue for, you know, representative mccarthy to deal with as the leader on the republican side. and i have known devin for years. he was a pragmatic member in 2013 when he coined the term to explain extremist activities on the republican side. i think this is a ver

issued a set of guidelines say anyone who talks about the whistleblower might hear from the ethices committeetoday it dropped on fox news.com. igcomplaint alleges the trump whistleblower they be soliciting illicit donations and some coming from overseas. joining me is an author and robert ray the former whitewater independent counsel. we are getting an idea of why schiff are hiding the whistleblower. >> absolutely. they are hiding the whistleblower so that schiff can conceal his own collusion to impeach the president. they are also hiding the leaking of classifiedd information by someone to the whistleblower which last time i checked is a crime. they are also hiding the fact that this guy is a hyper-partisan, the whistleblower. not a whistleblower under the law. this guy has connections to john brennan and joe biden and susan rice. >> laura: there are photos of the whistleblower with every democratic impeachment player on the internet. a new argument they are making is that the whistleblower, the identity and motivation, it's irrelevant. >> i think the whistleblower's identity is irrelevant.

>> there were allegations and she has denied them but that was something the house ethics committee wanted look into because that is against the rules appear on capitol hill. she says i'm out. >> dana: all right, thank you so much. an author of the selfie vote, she was talking about being part of a new generation. >> it's a decade where they have been young and had technology that allowed them to take photos. so it certainly is the case where there will be a new generation of politicians facing scrutiny and criticism. it's interesting to note that one of the first instances of this explicit photo of someone coming out, against their will, it was actually a republican man, representative joe barton formally of texas who had photos released against his will under texas law. it's illegal to have photos of that nature to be released. >> dana: and he decided not to run again? >> that's right. >> dana: and that's crucially the difference here. it seems like folks in this debate are talking past one another. it's horrible that these photos are discovered, but especially now in the moment of this

president, that was using taxpayer funds inappropriately and he should be investigated by the ethics committeend he should be forced to repay the treasury of the money that was spent for what was a purely pl lly politi activity. >> if he did not physically travel on the taxpayer dime, it would be different if he was gathering information. >> sure. if he wanted to use his own campaign funds to do that, he was doing opposition research for the president, that would be a gift of money to the president's campaign and you're limited in how much you can actually contribute. so he could be hit both ways, to tell you the truth. >> do you expect that the committee will hear in some fashion from lev parnas regarding rudy giuliani and his role? >> so we have subpoenaed documents from lev parnas. what's been dribbling out is mostly incomplete commentary from his attorney. he has not been fully supportive of that subpoena. he has not disclosed as much as we have asked him to disclose. so we're waiting for a more fullsome disclosure by lev parnas. >> certainly from the closing statement by adam schiff on th

whether the ethics committee could take a look at is another question.ey are by the nature of their work quite tight lifted of how they choose to engage. that's a possibility. >> democrats are moving for r ward with the inquiry without having to interview mulvaney or john bolton. two people central to this. >> it is a couple of things. democrats are quite comfortable with the information that they acquired so far. they think they have enough information right now and enough testimony and documents and gathering from the witnesses who appeared in public and behind closed doors. it also says they don't want to get bogged down. a lot of additional businesses that you laid out would require court actions to compel them to come testify. democrats have long to be weary. it is also possible that they'll move on with this process and still get some of the testimony later on. if you are john bolton, for example, perhaps he's not available and cooperating much later until the process. democrats know their case and they know the facts but the witnesses like bolton,

i wouldn't be surprised if there's an ethics committee investigation. >> you have written about the gopcy theories, giving oxygen to conspire racy theorie. can't imagine any criticism of the president as unpatriotic. teddy roosevelt said in 1918, to suggest that there's no krit seism of the president or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, it's morally tranible to the american public. >> it's fierce partisanship. the republican party promotes partisan power over everything. they will throw everything out, do whatever is necessary to protect the president and to protect their party in congress. that stands above governance, and every other principle at this point. they have a narrow majority. this is a party that doesn't have a broad majority. they're almost doubling down to protect what they have. >> it will be fascinating to see how they respond to the navy secretary story over the weekend, which is one of the wildest stories out of the white house. he is being fired by the defense secretary because of a secret proposal he made to

. >> i don't want to comment on what the ethics committee should do.s is the ranking member of my committee. >> that congressionally paid taxpayer trip was used to investigate the bidens, that might be an issue. >> unlike the president's situation, there's too much we don't know. there's too much to make definitive conclusions on that. >> congressman nunes, you know especially is a loyal trump defender, with credibility issues of his own. he told breitbart this allegation is false, but when asked a direct yes-or-no question on fox, he demonstrably dodged. >> were you in vienna with shokin. >> i really want to answer all of these questions, and i promise you i absolutely will come back on the show and answer these questions, but because there is criminal activity here, we're working with the appropriate law enforcement agency. but i think you can understand that i can't compete by trying to debate this out with the public media when 90% of the media are totally corrupt. >> forgive me, but horse shit. this is easy. this is easy. he was on a plane with st
