mr. robert mueller. the president can fire the person who appointed mr. robert mueller because that person, mr. rosenstein, is a political appointee. and under our laws and tradition the president can fire people who are appointees for any reason. can't be a corrupt burn but we allow the president to pick and choose his team and to fire people for any reason when they're a political appointee. but if you're a civil servant working for the government and not a political appointee you can't be removed but you have due process protections. what is the special counsel? . the special counsel is not appointed by a political -- by the president. they're appointed by somebody who is a political appointee when there's a conflict of interest. the reason we have a powell is is because of the conflict of interest.special counsel is because of the conflict of interest. almost all special counsels are involved in high-profile matters or they wouldn't exist. so what i've tried to do with my colleagues -- senators tillis, booker and coons -- is to viend p -- find protecti

mr. roberts: thank you, madam president. madam president, it was an honor for me to speak in front of the senate foreign relations committee. this month in support of my kansas friend and colleague, mike pompeo, the president's nominee for secretary of state. i said at the time and i come to the floor today to urge all my colleagues, despite the comments by the previous remarks, to vote in favor of this uniquely qualified nominee to such a vital role in our administration's cabinet. the point that i'd like to make is that as we go into the very important topics that we have to discuss on an international basis, we need mike pompeo, and we need him now. as our nation's most senior diplomat, mike, i know, will be forthright, he will be forceful and thoughtful, and yes, he will be diplomatic. he will give the president and the congress very candid counsel. he is a man of his word. i say all this and think that i at least have the credentials to know mike and to know who he is and what he is about because i have -- i have known

mr. roberts, how does mr.gative rates in europe, london in an uproar, and the fed dealing with a zero real fed funds target rate? have you do that analysis? -- how do you do that analysis? >> it is difficult. there is evidence out there that is legitimate that when rates are the slow, your depressing risk-taking. the fed may be raising rates, and at least early in that process you do get people more warm and fuzzy about doing deals, but in the rest of the global economy, rates are negative. tom: jack, how was mr. powell's speech received in chicago? >> it's funny, i was in town but i couldn't make it. tenure isat powell's going to be one that will be remembered as one of normalization. if you believe yellen was a combination and bernanke was just total dramatic experimentation, i think powell will be normalization, but he is constrained. there are a number of things constraining what he is able to do. tom: doing normal eyes the four -- do we normalize the four rate increases this year? why do they cause? that'

mr. robert mueller seen here, sparking a backlash among some conservatives. so, what happens next?hel: attorney general jeff sessions facing a conservative backlash after declining to appoint a second special counsel to investigate claims of fbi fisa abuse. instead mr. sessions appointing a u.s. attorney to handle the case. some republican lawmakers today defending the attorney general's decision. >> good first start. this prosecutor will somewhere subpoena power, can file charges, can do everything that needs to be done. the problem with a special prosecutor is, as we're seeing with bob mueller, they tend to go off of the rails and start chasing things and having an unlimited degree of scope. i think this is a good first start. jeff sessions consist always go back and appoint a special prosecutor. but once you cross the line, you can't uncross it. this is the right move. arthel: and live from washington gay rhetgarrett is here with mo. >> republican lawmakers are a bit decided over the attorney general's decision. instead he informed congress that john huber from utah is conductin

mr. robert mueller information that he legally obtained here in new york? and can robert mueller fall that into his russia probe? >> that is the great question here. it probably is my tentative answer. it really starts to underscore an emerging issue here which is whether or not the independent counsel is actually just working in tandem. if there is a southern district of new york having them do the work and studied the benefit of the information. i think if i was representing mr. robert cohen for instance, i would be aggressively looking for information to show this was not just a referral, this was effectively an expansion of the independent counsel team. i want to show an excerpt from the new york times. which says, mr. trump called mr. common on friday to check in according to two people briefed on the call? depending on what else was discussed it could be problematic as clients are advised in not discussing the investigation. by way of the michael cohen case, is the president exposed to legal jeopardy? >> first of all for the phone call i doubt it. i ha

mr. robert mueller, it's not about trump. it's about the rule of law and it is going to stay in place as robustly as possible as long as i'm here with my colleagues. that's what this is about. it's about a system for today, tomorrow, and forever that makes sure that nobody, even the president, is above scrutiny, the scrutiny can be scrutinized but there needs to be a check and balance because when we put somebody in this spot, they're in a political hot seat. that's the nature of the special counsel and we would be well served as a nation to have a check-and-balance on that situation and i will talk more about why i think we need a second special counsel but i'll save that for later, i just want my colleagues to know that i join you in preserving the rule of law to make sure that mr. mueller and future special counsels have an outlet to ask court review if they think something was done on towards them -- there are a lot of aspects of the 2016 election that cry out for a second investigation and none of you have lifted a finge

roberts: your theory is the legislature acts with vengeful intent to punish people for the exercise of first amendment rights. mr. kimberly: we put a disapproval of past voting history. jus. roberts: they will say in some circumstances that will be ok, even though it will apply strict scrutiny. it will be ok for them to burden the first amendment rights. mr. kimberly: we would take the position just as any other person that yes, the consideration of past voting history is necessary to pursue that. we think balanced maps and footage of districts -- jus. ginsberg: when you start with a district that has been skewed, and you say any deviation from that skew districting, i think it is something wrong with that. in the past it was gerrymandered, now we want to undo the gerrymander. people left out no, we have been deluded. -- now, we have been deluded, off the cloud we once had. if there is something wrong, the district is your starting point. people left out no, we have been deluded. -- now, we have been deluded, mr. kimberly: i think there are three things to say, and this is important, so i would like to be sure t

mr. cohen regard the warrant as an attempt by special counsel robert mueller to pry into mr. trump's personal life using other prosecutors as his proxy. that's a little nuts. i mean, if there is evidence of a crime and they've referred it to another office, that has nothing to do with some grand strategy by mr. mueller. where do you think that sentiment is coming from? is that the president's point of view about the cohen raid? >> yeah, from our reporting and even folks that i was just talking to today, to the president this is just mueller extending his handsome where else. and if you look at the way the president sees things, deep state, you know, conspiracies, those type of things, you can see why he would think that. he's deeply distrustful of the justice department. he does not like rod rosenstein. he does not like jeff sessions so he sees this happen. he has no trust in them. and he assumes the worst possible thing. >>> now, there's no indication to us there is any tie to this back to russia and it seems like because it was not related to russia, it was sent to new york

mr. president, will you start telling the truth? robert mueller is a republican. deputy attorney rosenstein is a republican whom you appointed. christopher wray, the head of the f.b.i., is a republican whom you appointed. i don't know how long the president can believe that people will swallow just the bold mistruths that he spews out day after day after day. but what he said is that the people that, quote, the investigation was being headed up by all democratic loyalists or people who work for obama is patently false, and the president should retract it. it's all too obvious, however, these kinds of remarks make it all too obvious that the president, who cares little for truth, may be considering the firing of the special counsel or the deputy attorney general. so i'd like to direct my remarks and -- to my republican colleagues. i say to my republican colleagues, you can no longer rely on anonymous sources as a reason for delay or inaction on legislation to protect mr. mueller and avoid a constitutional crisis. the evidence is staring us all in the face. we canno
