as a young nurse, mrs. miller met the late george anderson miller to whom she was married for 55 years. they were active members of their community who helped from the pine forests united methodist church. she was also a member of the pilot club of dublin, order of the blarney stone, and the american nurses association. today i have the pleasure of working with her granddaughter. i can say from my own experience that brook's commitment to public service and dedication to our constituents is a wonderful testament to the legacy of her grandmother. i hope all members would join me, my wife, and my staff in sending our thoughts and prayers to the miller family as they remember the life and legacy of ms. nan thompson miller. mr. speaker, i rise today to honor ms. kathleen russell from georgia who received the president's award on behalf of the georgia press association on friday, june 2, 2017. miss russell's strong dedication to her role as long time editor makes her worthy of such an honor. each year an individual who

president in that interview and the clip you heard, is throwing some doubt as to how independent mr milleritain —— with james kelly. the fbi director gave testimony about conversations about what he believed in place in which emitjames what he believed in place in which emit james comey said what he believed in place in which emitjames comey said dropping —— asking to drop investigations into michael flynn, the former security adviser. then there was that the battle about whether or not there we re battle about whether or not there were tapes of that conversation. trump hinted they were, yesterday we got the news that there are not. when it comes to the account of these conversations, president trump does not have the backing of a tape, james comey has those contemporaneous memos that he took after each visit. by throwing, perhaps, some shade and robert mueller, perhaps he's trying to say, look, hang on a second, robert mueller will take james comey‘s side on this only a few hours to go now before the first test match between the british and irish lions and new zealand in auckland. the boo

mr. miller or mr. -- mr. mueller or mr. rosenstein.reportedly telling his advisors at least that he does think he has the legal authority to do so. with that said, democrats are saying if he pushes ahead, they are going to start impeachment proceedings. guys. anchor: thank you. ramy inocencio, joining us from new york. sector is inrty focus today with the latest inding on real estate due one hour's time. tom mackenzie joining us from beijing with a preview. what can we expect? tom: the broad outline has been growth in prices ticking down in the cities nominated. a pop-up and pop down. the overall trend has been slightly lower. that is what economists expect for the month of may as well. they are basing that on a number of factors. first of all, the curves put in place on deposit. there are further curves and further tightening, whether that is funding the developers or price caps. we also had the sales data for may that came through, and that showed a slowdown as well. all of that feeding expectations for our internal in-house economis

mr. miller, you're here in our new york studios. you're in charge of distributing questions, maybe to the chairman. what would you ask director comey tomorrow? >> in addition to all the obvious ones, more details about the meetings described in the testimony released today. i would want to ask him what other conversations did he have with others at the white house and not just that he had but that his deputy andrew mccabe had. there were reports in february that after the new york times reported there were contacts between trump campaign officials and russian intelligence services that the white house asked the fbi to publicly knock that down in a conversation, several between reince priebus and andrew mccabe. it's not just the president's conduct at issue, but his aids' as well. >> same question, jeremy bash. >> why do you think the president asked the attorney general and jared kushner to step out of the room. i think we got to get inside jim comey's state of mind. why do you think the president fired you? do you think he was hold

mr. miller to be a man of incredible integrity and courage. >> jenny reid donated $5400 to hillary clinton's presidential campaign. andrew wiseman donated six times to president obama's political action committees for a total of $4700. assistant special prosecutor donated more than ten times to democratic pacs. add to those apparent political leanings, special councils limitless spending, paid out of doj's budget. in an article, glenn reynolds wrote "the decision whether or not to charge a person with a crime is almost completely unconstrained. it all raises fundamental questions of fairness." >> most special prosecutors and and -- would have avoided people with political ties or contributions paid when you are investigating the president of the united states, you should be trying to avoid any questions of political bias or influence. >> special counsel's office defends the hires, noting the department policy and federal law "prohibits the special counsel from taking into consideration political affiliation in its hiring." just as troublesome, mueller ordered michael dreeben. >> james: thank

mr. miller to do his job but this investigation certainly is looking more like it will be -- >> there's a couple things. one of the most fascinating things about comey's testimony, he reminded us that the issue, the fundamental issue where we began with this, there's a very basic question about russia's activities in the u.s. presidential election, and comey made it very clear that's a real issue, that there's absolutely no doubt in his mind that the evidence exists and he says they're coming back for america. the problem now is that we are all very distracted by the secondary but very significant issue of whether or not there's obstruction of justice charge legitimately to be made against the president of the united states for seeking to block the investigations and to see whether or not there's any relationship between members of his team, past and present, and that broader question. the broader question is getting lost. going forward there's going to be a lot of focus, and i think mueller will be pressing for privately and intensely and will have watched the hearings, public hearings v

mr. miller has not waived you off from answering any of these question questions. is that correct? >> i've had no conversations with mr. mueller. i've been out of the country for the last nine days. >> have any of you -- if you have not had questions waived off with mr. mueller, i think, i understand your commitment to the penetration, but our questions deserve answers, and at some point, the american public deserves full answers. >> ls mr. rosenstein to address that. >> i'm sensitive to your desire to keep our answers brief and my full answer is very lengthy, but my brief answer from my perspective with the doj, our default position is that when there is a justice department investigation, we do not discuss it publicly. that's our default rule. >> is at the row for the president of the united states as well? that is what the questions are being asked about. reports that nobody has laid to rest here that the president of the united states has intervened directly an ongoing investigation and we've got no answer from any of you and frankly, we've at least heard from director coats and

mr. miller thanks very much for joining us. appreciate your time tonight?. >> could the president really fire bob snurl could he fire the special counsel? >> yeah, absolutely. he could do it one of two ways. he could repeal the regulations under which he was skpoontd directly fire him. and the second way is probably the more likely way and one with historic cal precedent. i think there's a big young question whether we would see that principle at doj now. >> am i right in what i remember about the special counsel regulations? it's not a statute or law. am i right in remembering those regulations say if the special counsel is fired, it has to be for good cause, it has to be for an egregious violation? >> that's right but those regulations are turned president's purview. all that authority extend from the president's constitutional authority. so he could repeal the regulations, interpret the regulations to find some cause for firing him. obviously that would be controversial. i would hope you would see mass resident nations at the justice department, not just

mrs. miller. >> i'm seeking your advice of someone who has been in this house for 12 years. the members can be disappointed that the leader of the opposition is not -- perhaps you could advise what the usual format is. >> all i will say to the right honorable lady, i'm much touched by her assessment of the extent of my powers. disappointment may be very regrettable but not a matter for the chair. mr. jeremy corbin. >> labour is not an opposition. we are a government in waiting. we have policy programs. mr. speaker, with a policy program that ensues and engaged millions of people in this election, many for the first time ever in their political lives. we are ready to offer real strong and stable leadership. in the interests of the many, not the few. we will break this strategy and what legislation comes forward against that standard. mr. speaker, this election engaged more people than for generations, a tribute to our democracy. in the election, labour set out a vision of what this country could be, what it could be. it could be -- it could be more equal. it could be more pro

mr. jason miller. and cnn commentator bakari sellers.hance to be a human bucket of cold water on this pew poll. the idea that putin's only at 27, but that puts him higher than our president at 22. that the main adjectives of global views when it comes to trump's characteristics, arrogant, intolerant and dangerous. what do you make of this? >> one of the sillier things we've seen in quite some time. if you want to look how president trump is viewed on the international stage look at indian prime minister modi who greeted him with a warm embrace yesterday. the way president trump was warmly received when he spoke in sewage with all of our arab allies in the region. i think for folks around the world, this poll, to say that around the world is not receiving him in a good light is silly because the fact of the matter the president is restoring our standing on the world stage. that might ruffle feathers here and there, but the folks back here in america, this is why president trump won. >> so, bakari is that what this poll means to you? a ref

mr. miller in response to a question from mr. inhofe that you're not organized to face a peer adversary in 2025. could you explain more about why that's the case? >> congressman, since 9/11, we've organized trained and equipped the force to fight a counterinsurgency and conduct stability ops. the training i had as a junior officer and later as commander to fight primarily combined arms fight against a peer round combat force was not required. and so we did what we needed to do to meet the current threat. we recognized several years ago many of my predecessors that we started to lose our capability to conduct combined arms in the more traditional sense. now when you take the current operating environment, what we anticipate the future operating environment when you add space, cyber, information, the long-range precision of weapons, the use of different capabilities, active protection systems, unmanned aircraft. our adversaries have taken this time where we then focused on the ct and the insurgency to develop these capabilities. an

mr. comey confronted jeff sessions and said he did not want to be left alone again with the president, according to current and former law enforcement officials. joining us now, matt miller, former spokesman for attorney general eric holder and msnbc contributor. former senior aid, he's also former chief counsel to the senate judicial committee. also with us. former assistant u.s. attorney for the northern district of illinoishe'srosecutored many federal obstruction of justice cases. i want to go to you first on obstruction of justice. the elements of it that were considered clear enough to the congress in 1974 and president nixon's case amounted to not much more than him saying uh-huh on that tape to that proposal of having the cia tell the fbi to stop the investigation. here you have director comey saying asked him directly to stop the investigation. you have dan coats, telling associates that the president asked him to intervene and mr. pompeo was a witness to that conversation. where do you think this obstruction of justice stands tonight. >> first of all, we don't have a tape here like there was back in the 70s, that's one difference. it will be interesting to see w

mr. james comey. >> fascinating times ahead. i am less generous. i will judge. bill mcgurk, judy miller.: happening right now. widespread and tech corruption in and moscow. announcing a national holiday. as a prominent opposite dimmick opposition leader while tens of thousands of people take to the streets. the last thing that the kremlin wants to see. amy kellogg is live with more and destroy. >> high heather. russians themselves will say they are patient people, and the government is famously tough on the opposition. by may poon has been in power now, header, for 17 years. the question always is. dude russians really want change? what will it take for them to really call for change? when will they do that? these protests today are the second series of big protests in less than six months' time. that is significant, because this comes after a five-year period of quiet. as you mentioned, the authorities were very quick to arrest that protest leader, alexei navalny. he was seen in this chopper or drone shot taken in a blue shirt from his home as he was on his way to the protests in moscow

miller, gloria borger. van jones, david axelrod and chris cilizza. why don't we start with mr. preston sitting to my right here. a remarkable day in american history, don't you think? was this the worst day, do you think, of this president's young presidency? >> we've used that terminology a lot given so many things that have happened during this presidency, but i don't think it was the worst day of his presidency. i don't think it was necessarily a great day to have the former fbi director on national television across every network laying out what he felt was intimidation by the president. i also don't think we can look at this through one prism. there are different ways you have to look at it -- politically, legally. we just saw this past hour from gary tuckerman's piece, we were talking off camera where his supporters still seem to be with him. so i just think it's very complicated, and honestly i just think -- and i've been saying this for the last 24 hours and will for the next six orthopedic sev -- or seven months, this is one little piece of a complicated jigsaw puzzle.

mr. trump's fight against his perceived adversaries. did you think it was smart of him to get rid of comey? >> he needed to go. >> what about mueller? >> he needs to go. >> reporter: and danielle miller says the president has put the strut back in america's step, despite what others may see as stumbles. >> look at our relationships with the rest of the world now. they respect our president. he's representing us. >> reporter: they have all taken their seats here tonight, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the man who won iowa by ten points in november. they expressed little interest in current polls, which show a softening for support for mr. trump because, anthony, they know their support for him is strong. >> mason: dean reynolds with the trump faithful in iowa. thanks, dean. russian hacking of the 2016 campaign went a lot deeper than previously known. that's what current and former counterintelligence officials told congress today. here's jeff pegues. >> as of right now, we have evidence of 21 states, election relate systems in 21 states that were targeted. >> reporter: homeland security officials said the russians appeared the target voter registration data. of the 21 states, only il

mr. bernier's front and central in europe and i talked to matt miller as well. to all that has occurred in the united kingdom over the last 10 or so days? do we just let the united kingdom hang? see a fairink you amount of bafflement and that spills over into irritation. it is a year next friday since britain voted for exit and it has been britain that delayed the start of the talks. first they had to elect a new leader and then theresa may she needed time to form a plan, then the legal wrangling of whether she had the power to start brexit. then she has an election so we are 52 weeks away from the referendum and in that time, the europeans have gotten their act together. they have been very methodical. that likes to fracture and there is a great deal of union of what they want to go into those stocks. they know there is hard deadlines, march 2019, but they want the deal struck before that. michelle barty a spoke earlier this week about not much -- mic hel barnier spoke earlier this week about not much time. how they change remains to be seen. they used the elec

mr. chairman. welcome all of you and thank you for your extraordinary service. general miller, can you give us an update on the progress you have made with the marines united misconduct? >> since i last appeared in front of this committee we had a number of issues we have taken. we formed a task force with a number of marines to give us more insight into this. and cis has gone through thousands of pictures looking for individuals they can identify. we've had people come forward and there are a benchley 65 subjects, 59 were sent for disposition. many there is not sufficient evidence to for them today there are 33 investigation of the rest are looking at different options and there's one pending in the court-martial. we will not start. we have required every marine to sign an administrative acknowledgment that they understand what the responsibilities are on social media. and that actions that would integrate, defame, beat derogatory to another marine or institution make them potentially subject to the code of military justice. the congress has worked on certain legislation abou

miller says, so you joined the mainstream media? it was ncis reruns for me today. jim. trump's treats are not preventing congress from getting their work done. that's a cheap excuse. love this. please, mr this. we support you. tweet positive things, not negative. and another tweets, nice rant on potus today. offer your medicines again? you caught me. mark. obvious why trump refuses to give cavuto an interview. and mark says neil, do you think he watched. if he did, you think it registered? time will tell. good job. hope it did, mark. a lot of the president's ideas and tax cuts are indeed promising if they ever get out of the gate. the distractions don't help and make progress on that agenda tough. senators have been saying every minute that he spends tweeting and talking about the london mayor and the fbi investigation is one minute less devoted to the issues that matter. and then there's another one, the tweets make the media irrelevant. that's the biggest reason you just won't admit it. this isn't about making me relevant, though i think i am. just the president sticking to tweets that are relevant. another says, you need to get off of your high horse and criticize those that need it
