she is basically taking not only the don mcgann question, the question whether it geese beyond don mcgann. it goes on to john bolton and some people in the administration claim even if you make don mcgann. she is saying absolutely not. and then, of course, as you pointed out, she's saying that the president is himself not immune. what does this mean when don mcgann does show up if he does show up? it means that he may still, however, refuse to answer certain questions because of executive privilege. we don't know, erin, how long it will be before this all gets resolved. we know the justice department says they're going to appeal the ruling. we're looking at an appeals court ruling in the next couple of months before it may even get to the supreme court. we're still looking at several months of litigation during which time, of course, the democrats want to wrap up their impeachment inquiry. she's a member of the judiciary committee which will be drawing up articles of impeachment. i appreciate your time tonight. congresswoman, obviously your a right now looking at potential articles when i

don mcgann of course is someone legally. don mcgann of course is someone who was legally.rse is someone who was very legally. don mcgann of course is someone who was very useful to the former special council robert miller and his investigation into allegations of collusion between the trumpet campaign and russia. mr mcgann famously told robert mueller that he had been told by the president in a late night telephone call to his home to get onto the justice department and suck mueller himself, the federal council, and when that story became public, the president had fallen him to hold a press co nfe re nce president had fallen him to hold a press conference and deny there was any truth to it. what this could all do now is lead to renewed democrats rather former do now is lead to renewed democrats ratherformer senior do now is lead to renewed democrats rather former senior trump administration officials to be brought before congress to testify, not least of them of course the former national security adviser john bolton. that said, this ruling by this federal court in washing

will mcgann wind up testifying does it set up a chain reaction?n mack began ruling says he cannot invoke blank pet immunity so he's got to testify if it holds, though, because this will be appealed. there's the circuit court of appeals that it will be appealed to and government will ask for a stay what that means is that if we're going appeal they don't want it to go into effect. >> this just sounds like it is going to take a really long time. >> it will. i think and if -- if it goes to the circuit it could go to the united states supreme court. and i think that this whole process to get finality on this decision will probably drag on past the election. >> wow. so in all livelihood this really l meaning nothing and also what the ruling saying mcgann has to go but he's still can invoke executive pref lienal that was at issue it is not a blanket executive privilege so question by question -- if he's asked about communications with the president he will be invoking executive privilege and by the way, there's no judge there. it is just adam schiff kna

judge's orders former white house counsel don mcgann to appear before the impeachment inquiry it's a setback for president donald trump's efforts to keep top aides from testifying and it could encourage democrats in the house of representatives to call on other high ranking officials to give evidence the justice department says it will appeal the verdict against the verdicts mcgann was a witness in special counsel robert miller's investigation into russian election meddling. turkey has begun testing its new russian made air defense system despite threats of sanctions from the u.s. the turkish military has started flying warplanes over ancora to test the radar system of the s. for hundreds washington has argued for months that they're incompatible with nato systems the ongoing disputes marks a deep division in the western military alliance the israel palestine director of human rights watch has been deported earlier this month the israeli supreme court upheld a government decision to remove him saying he supports a global boycott campaign but omar sheikh here says it is just another e

mcgann testify may be repealed. will other aids like john bolton see it as covered. let's go to hans nichols. what is their real case for appeal? >> their case for appeal is they think that there is an obama appointed judge. they think this is an unfair ruling and precedent is on their side. the president is knot going to necessarily testify or provide answers. he hinted about that last week saying he was considering it after pelosi made that offer. s she is saying now that it is an ill legitimate impeachment process, and then on the question of whether or not it will leave the house, the white house is zeroing in on any democrat that suggested that they won't be voting for articles of impeachment. they seem to be suggesting, and i think this is the narrative they want out there that it might not leave the house. they say they're preparing both eventually eventualities. >> the white house is on lock down. we can't leave here. they have not provided any information, pete williams is reporting there has been an air space violation. we'll see if pete comes on air here.

one this question of mcgann? >> the big winner is over. because he will have to get into his car and go over to the capital, the judge went out of her way to say i'm not ruling on the issues of privilege and all i'm saying is he has to say is i will show up. the president has the power that kings have never had it. he's a very powerful walk office and the framers wanted at that way. very strict criteria it to be met. we don't live in a parliamentary democracy. this position decision itself has no big impact. people have to show up and then they can invoke the privilege. >> the reference to the king wa kind of a giveaway on this judge .th the court distinguishes this issue from the very question that the high-level presidential aide may be asked to provide in the context of such questioning can be held from the committee on the basis of volatility. so it only goes to the specific question of whether he must physically present himself. and congressman zeldin, contrars to the measured analysis of dershowitz, this is what neil keitel said on m

so as we've seen with mcgann case, this goes directly to that.a right of congress to seek information from the white house and the executive branch, particularly when there is an impeachment proceeding at stake, or anything else that's serious. and the white house position has been no, you don't got that. this decision today starts changing the balance here. >> well, david, you said why 74. i said maybe there was a particularly good dead show at the film noir. but that's just because i know. >> i've been to one dead show my entire life, and it wasn't 1974. >> well, that's your mistake, your life mistake given the decades we've lived through. >> we can argue that. >> but look, the other thing between the nixon '74, is there has been many comparisons across the country in washington and law and politics to the mueller hearings and now these very powerful impeachment hearings. but the big difference people kind knopf but is easy to forget and tonight puts such an explanation point on it is what was powerful in these impeachment hearings was the witn

time ago that there has been a breaking development in the house democrats efforts to correspond mcgann from the white house counsel to come to the hill and testify. he hasn't been the white house counsel since the ukraine, which is what we are told the impeachment situation is about but now it appears democrats may reach back to the mueller report. a couple headlines from the washington post, democrats are debating whether articles of impeachment should include obstruction of justice allegations details and mueller's report. house democrats are still considering an article of impeachment that accused mister trump of obstruction of justice of what we are hearing is they are interested in having mcgann testify so not only the ukraine call but the mueller report in the impeachment -- you remember the judiciary committee, you have a hand in what happens, what do you expect? >> they are trying to put abuse of power that certain justice which is why they want to get done began in there. you are exactly right on that. i would be surprised if he comes in and testifies. the direction when you a

. >> a federal judge ruling the former white house counsel don mcgann must cooperate with the impeachment investigation, this is a huge win for democrats. >> this changes the dynamics of impeachment. >> laura: never mind the fact even if compelled to show up, don mcgann can wave off every question is privileged. once again they thought they had trump's number but in fact he really had theirs. if the speaker doesn't watch out, her new nickname will be wiley pelosi. [cartoon sound effects] >> laura: wiley pelosi, with a magnet? it's perfect. no matter what the democrats throw at trump, they can't take him down, it's driving them crazy. their predictions about the president's staying power have been spectacular flops. here are a few predictions from yours truly. the president will get nominated with overwhelming support from his party and independence while democrats nominate someone with almost zero ability to connect with americans outside of major cities. despite their series of political debacles, they will learn very little and just end up blaming the voters once aga again. and that's t

the same incentives as don mcgann does to align himself with the president. one level, again, i agree with ben on a macro about why these fights matter quite a bit. in terms of advancing the narrative of where we've ended up some of these court fights are less important than if we didn't have this new set of facts that you could come out over the past eight weeks. >> over here there's a gentleman with a question. >> i have a comment and a question. the comment is for the two of you at least. al gore lost the election because he ran away from eight years of peace and prosperity. that's my view. the question is, assuming i'm donald trump and i'm looking at all this and i know that nothing that's happened before now is affected by base, popularity, my rating and my approval rating as president. and i say to myself, six months of this enables me to attack the democrats because i'm going to be acquitted in the senate. six months of this enables me to attack the democrats for wasting congress's time and the people's time on impeachment when they could be working on

what do you make of judge jackson's ruling and how in terms of don mcgann, having to testify and how it may impact the impeachment? >> the big winner is uber because only ruling they made is that she has to get in a car, put his hands and say refused to answer these questions on the ground i had this privilege or that privilege and then it goes back to her or some other judge to determine how to balance the privilege against the claims of congress for the information. >> ed: it's just starting. in the ruling, judge jackson who was an obama appointee said presidents are not kings, rather it's indisputable to current and former employees work for the people. this court holds officials that are not immune from congressional process, even if the president expressively directs such officials no complaints. last night you said yes, he has not kings. you said he is more powerful than a king. >> at such a stupid analogy. kings are powerless today. the president of united states could wage war. the president of the united states is the most powerful person on earth today. to compare him with

the ruling basically from the court or at least that the judge will be making a decision regarding mcgann basically refusing to obey a lawful subpoena, it really just gave me hope and faith that as we are going through this impeachment inquiry, our institutions of justice, i.e.,, the courts are still sending a message that the rule of law matters, upholding the constitution still matters and that you still should be required to follow the law. we know in this particular case every excuse that the president defenders have made have been debunked. first the president didn't do anything wrong or we only had second and third hand information. well, today's witnesses were on the call and said it was improper and inappropriate. the fact that the president -- the aide was eventually released, what's the big deal? well, we do know that the aide was released because the president basically got caught. and so the ruling today was encouraging. leadership will work out the details in terms of who -- what additional witness we need to hear from but today was yet another good day i believe for the amer

john mcgann way back to the russia investigation, he is in the same position.ormer position. he has been subpoenaed. he asked the court to tell him what to do, should he obey the president or congress. that case is the furtherst along. >> that's different although bolton's lawyers have argued the mcgann case is potentially weaker for pelosi and the democrats than this one, because here the full force of impeachment powers are without a doubt in play. >> that's exactly right. one of the benefits of this being an official impeachment inquiry is that congress has a right to a lot more evidence. and the president's claims of absolute immunity or executive does not have the same force if there ises no an impeachment inquiry. >> david, you feel like this is msnbc or court tv tonight? we're right in it. i want to broaden back out. if everyone is saying all these names and all these suits flying by, we're still talking about the number one trump aide who handled the money, who was credibly accused by other people of being the instrument innews. giuliani, out-house. but

a court is going to rule and don mcgann subpoena and if he rules in favor of the judiciary committee the floodgates could break and people like bolton pump pain others in terms of compelling them to testify real quick before. >>we go of course the democrats are debating right now those who are running for president that is sure the quick preview on what you think has to happen what will be interesting because it's against a backdrop of everything that happened this week but again you're people to judge and the question's going to be how many hits are people take on people to judge on his youth and inexperience because that can also backfire given the support that the democrats are looking for from the younger voters. all right michael yaki. thank you as always appreciate all right, let's check in with lawrence and get a weather update. >>guys mostly clear out there right now around the bay area is going to be a cold night. overnight lows going to be dropping off in the 30's 40's by day tomorrow. when jurgen we're talking about some nice weather 50's in the san francisco working their

in the impeachment inquiry the white house appeal the judge's ruling would could compel don mcgann to testify. the judge rejected the claims of immunity for staffers and the president responded on twitter to see in part he will love to have mike pompeo, rick perry, mick mulvaney, and others testify about the impeachment hoax. >>> this holiday season kpix 5 is teaming up with food banks to help neighbors in need. it is our food for bay area families drive . michelle griego is live at whole foods market in santa rosa with more . >> i have some very special guest with me but first up is bj and gina with american credit. you have a very special donation for the food bank. why is it so important for the company to get involved? >> we've been working with the food bank for over 15 years now. we are just so thankful for what they do for our community every day. the mission is so important and we are just grateful to be a part of it. >> let's see the amount. this is $25,000. that is a lot of money. >> it is. going back to the mission anyway we can contribute we want to. >> and lisa cannon we

but basically john mcgann.ohn bolton, all of them can stand on a very stron legal foundation that past courts can find if you're senior advisor to the president. if you are whisperingnhe president's ears, some of the things you discussed are privileged, executive privilege, deliberative privilege. there's one exception. it may be too f late this trial. ruled in that case that you hav+ to come forward. you can decline to answer rtain questions that implicate prev line of scrimma meaning a whisper about something you actually discussed with the president. when it comes to your own actions, mulvaney's actions, bolton's actions. you should be allowed to testify and answer those quesoions. the court may rule go in, sit for the questions. answers the ones you want. decline the ones you think are privilege. . but it may be ultimately too late because this is going to go to the supremes. the white house is n going to let a trirt c judge tell them who goes in to the witness box. >> and so far that strategy has brnings i

the house democrats want to hear from these individuals so much particularly when it comes to don mcgann he did quit as the white house counsel back in october of 2018 but as the democrats continue to build a case that the president is obstructing justice justice also they allege that he has potentially lied under oath are really serious about what don mcgann knows about the moeller investigation whether or not the white house colluded or rather the president's presidential campaign in 2016 if there was any collusion with russia now they're really curious about the president's answers to some of those questions that were supplied to the justice department and again they're building a case potentially that the president may have lied under oath that's why they want to talk to him but again the implications of this ruling very significant because it does mean that others that have been avoiding congressional testimony may now have to appear as you pointed out though there is an effort by the trump justice department to appeal this ruling we expect it will straight to the supreme court even
