we find the reach a compromise that we could asked the court to give the evidence to the house judiciary committee conducting a legitimate investigation with a reasonable prospect they would act on the e evidence as opposed to now when i say the outcome is different. clearly it is different that's how we had this fight. then we had it a second time because once he resigned immediely he said he's not a sitting president why can't we do it now? and then they still refused and as we fought then ford pardoned him and that ended it. so we lo the opportunity to indict spec and wanted you to hear that for obvious reasons but the description of the fight is worth reading in the book. >> how did you get them to testify? because nobody will testify. >> that's a great question and it's really relevant. president nixon did believe in the rule of law to an extent. he was willing to ignore the subpoenas and say i'm not giving them to you but allowed us to have witnesses. they all i went tjail foror perjury.

jerry nadler and house democrats in the judiciary committee have been nothing except perpetual investigation, witch-hunting against this president and they wanted information they could not get and never actually engaged in the judiciary department, doj to actually find out what they could get. they went straight to the courts. they went straight for information they should never get in these processes. and sad part about it was if they wanted to change that, they could look to changing the law. they chose not to work on that, chose going to court getting relief what they want, and they got what they deserve today, nothing. elizabeth: congressman, let's move on to the susan rice email to herself. let me back up. we've been interviewing along with you and house and senate republicans the push to determine whether obama officials improperly influenced the trump russia probe and also the targeting of michael flynn. susan rice is saying now that the, they should release the transcripts of michael flynn's fon call with the russian ambassador. rice's spokeswoman says quote, american people deserve

house judiciary investigation, the conclusion of the trial, if this reveals new evidence supporting the conclusion that donald trump committed impeachable offenses that are not covered by the articles adopted by the house the committeeill proceed accordingly including if necessary by considering whether to recommend new articles of impeachment, that would be this allegation against the doj, with influence in the case of roger stone and michael flynn who are getting no prosecution at all. >> >> republicans have done a better job. >> the russia coalition hoax. it was politically motivated and the department of justice under president obama possibly did a bunch of criminal if not, in the prosecution michael flynn and roger stone. and the rather than becoming a referendum in this election, and to make this a referendum on joe biden because joe biden has become one of the people involved in unmasking general flynn, he becomes part of the apparatus of the obama white house the perpetrated what americans feel was an unjust prosecution and investigation. i really think this was an unconscionable thing to continue to move forward. how embarrassing, all those people from adam chiffon, and all the people, basically lied when t

here is what jerry nadler of the house judiciary committee and one of the impeachment managers had to say, this is outrageous and flynn's dismissal, flynn pleaded guilty to lying to investigators, the evidence against him is overwhelming. now a politicized doj is wrapping the case, the decision to overrule the special counsel is without president and warrants an immediate explanation. we saw a little bit at explanation today, he said this is the only right choice he thought to make but his commitment being accused of doing the president's bidding. >> it's not that mysterious, when you go back, flynn was interviewed on january 20 fourth 2017 by march the fbi director james comey was telling congressional committees the agents did not think flynn had lied and comey did not expect any action to be taken against flynn, then there is a special counsel and they take the flynn case off the shelf and they end up and having him plead guilty which he agreed to do but there was always a lot of suspicion that there was something funny going on. we learned today for example how much the justice de
