a block of three commissioners routinely thwart, up front laws they were lekted to administer. major violations are swept under the rug, and the resulting dark money has left americans uninformed about the sources of campaign spending. the commission's work is essential to the integrity and fairness of the political process and to ensure public trust in government. as the fec explains on their website, campaign finance laws seeks to "limit the disproportionate influence of wealthy individuals and special interest groups in the outcome of federal elections. to regulate spending in campaigns for federal office, and deter abuses by mandating public disclosure of campaign finances. this incredibly significant commission is not performing the job that congress intended. and violators of the law are given a free pass. four vote requirements is unchecked veto power to delay and dismiss flagrant violations, impose significantly lower penalties, and leave major cases without resolution. >> thank you for reading that. i wanted you to read it because i thought the audience might appreciat

. -- he t lekted yet by the wasn't elected by the american people to be president. my fatho a tremendous job. i won't make me a more effective advocate to articulate every issue publicly where i disagree. and that's okay. that means that i'll take hits from some critics who say that i should take to the street and other people will in the long term respect where i got things done. i think the impact i have over time, most people will not actually know about. >> wow. really interesting. >> it was really interesting to talk to her. she's very poised. she's very intelligent. and she will never take anything publicly negative. >> i think about climate change certainly. i think about guy rights. i think some of the immigration ban and certainly planned parenthood. but she's not going to say that publicly. she says i can be effective. she can walk into the oval office and say, dad, mr. president, i think you're blah, blah, blah. >> really interesting. >> we have a lot more to come. we have a lot more to come to speak with ivanka trump. so much to discuss. she defends her

what is so worrisome about the heftar control east is that he's replaced lekted municipal officials with uniform military governors. >> ambassador? >> no. i would only -- i would only say again that in sert, for example, what we saw was support that was open opportunistic from groups that were political opposed to them and had nothing ideologically to do it with. it was all about competition for resources. so until you have a government that does what governments are supposed to do which is to ensure equitable access to national resources through security regulatory framework, rule of law, you're going to have this kind of problem. >> let's think about the lessons learned and whether there are broader applications to the middle east n your prepared remarks, you know that many thought a dubai on the mediterranean would emerge following the overthrow of kadavy. there are eight questions before taking military action. number six of those was whether the consequences of a action have been fully considered. it's really applies to both of you but first ambassador, in 2011, do you believe there

statement that you're act bl and responsible to the pub flick you're unwilling to follow publicly lektedountable to be follow the law. i shouldn't violate the law. >> it's a violation of lawsuit for them to ask for your resignation, is it? >> not at all. >> so the only question is whether you would tender it willfully or not? >> that's correct. >> in honor be the public's will or wishes, it would seem that if a elected official who was duly lekted here decided to ask for the resignation would seem in the public's interest for you to willfully tend thaeshgs sfligt. >> i it this public elected -- elects congress every two years. you're now part of it. hit prior congresses. and those congresses passed laws under a constitution that are law of the land and have to be followed. so the authority to remove me would have to follow the law of the land. and that could then be reviewed in the courts. so that's what i'm understanding is the right framework. >> so i guess turning our attention to having to devine other things, this regulation by enforcement troubles me. it really troubles me because
