mr. warner: thank you, mr. president. two weeks ago, after almost two years, special counsel mueller filed his report with the attorney general. the attorney general sent us a short letter summarizing the major findings of the report. simply put, the sum -- a summary is not going to cut it. the attorney general's own letter discusses the vast extent of the special counsel's investigation, mentioning over 500 witness interviews, 2,800 subpoenas, 500 search warrants, 230 orders for communication records, and almost 50 orders for pen registers and actually 13 requests of foreign governments. this is an extraordinarily extensive investigation that yielded a rich collection of facts about russia's attack on our democracy. the american people deserve to see the results so that they can judge the facts for themselves. we know from court filings, news reports, and the senate intelligence committee's own investigations that the russians attempted to influence the trump campaign in many ways. at least 17 individuals in the trump or

while ago of being essentially installed by a foreign nation and yet that's wasn't good enough for mr warner i think mr interest happily let's say i'm very happy about the results of the molar report i'm very happy that we had a deep investigation i'm sure he still hasn't released these reports i think there are many russians who have well i have to say if we're talking about obviously i mean doesn't wasn't good enough reason for interference you would be appalled at the thought of somebody interfering into the political or economic affairs of your own country would you absolutely why should it be the case for the venezuelans why shouldn't they be allowed to sort it out for themselves so we had our wish and that is a realization that you should ask the venezuelans because right now according to viktor and that analysis which is the only polling company left in venezuela seventy five percent of the venezuelan people want a u.s. invasion i live in miami there are literally hundreds of venezuelans who are living in miami who have fled their country i am telling you and you can disagree with me

warner he could go next. you'll be next, then senator casey. mr. r warner: thank you, chairman, thank you, senator casey. senator grassley: i hate to referee among the other party. time starts over. senator warner: i commend you being off to a good start in this tax filing season. i do want to go back to the line of questioning briefly that the ranking member asked. i personally believe that 6103 is clear that this is a provision that gives the chairman, the finance committee chairman -- the chairman of the finance committee and the chame of ways and means the ability to examine the president's tax returns without any involvement of the treasury or white house or others. i would simply point out and just want to get your view on this, secretary mnuchin appeared before the ways and means committee in the house and the statement he made was he thought in terms of 6103 this would not be something he would sign off on, it would be something the i.r.s. commissioner would sign off on. i want to make clear for the record, you don't have any disagreement with the secretary's interpretation of the law do, you? mr

mr. chairman. >> senator warner. >> thank you. >> senator casey was ahead of you. i told senator warner he could go next. you'll be next, then, senator casey. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, senator casey. >> i hate to referee among my opposite party. >> just don't be taking my time, mr. chairman. >> start his time over. >> thank you, mr. chairman. commissioner, it's going to see you. thank you. i want to join my colleagues in commending you in terms of getting off to a good start in this tax filing season. i do want to go back to the line of questioning, though, briefly that the ranking member asked. i personally believe that 6103 is clear that this is a provision that gives the finance chairman of the ways and means committee the ability to examine the president's tax returns without any involvement of the treasury or white house or others. i would simply point out and just want to get your view on this, that secretary mnuchin recently appeared before the ways and means committee in the house, and the statement he made was that he thought in terms of 6103,

warner: i have been very disappointed by the attorney general. mr.r has a great reputation as somebody who is an independent thinker, and unfortunately i have not seen that. i don't think he's approached the mueller report, i'm reserving judgment. i supported the investigation and will accept its conclusions once i actually read the document. and his testimony recently where he basically impugned the integrity of the fbi and the department of justice by saying he wanted to check whether there on, thatng" going sounded like a white house -- spying" going on, that sounded like a white house talking point. he should know, the u.s. discovered that russia through tools like wikileaks, attacked election security in over 20 states. if the fbi hadn't started a counterintelligence investigation, they would have been extraordinarily negligent. and after the fact, when there is no question in terms of the consensus from the intelligence committee that russia acted, and acted frankly on behalf of trump against clinton, is pretty disingenuous. caroline: calling f

i wanted to read a tweet from senator warner, ranking on the intel committee. he said mr. barr knows how counter intelligence investigations works. he knows there was ample evidence of russian influence to infiltrate the campaign and the fbi took lawful effort to stop it. giving a wink and nod to this conspiracy theory is irresponsible. because we don't have the report yet that barr is going to send out, is everyone playing with fire trying to talk about it without having seen it? >> well, first off, you're right, dana. let's wait and get the report. it's going to be available sometime within the next week or sometimes next week. but these questions that are being raised i think are valid ones. if governmental power was used to abuse the rights of american citizens, that's something we need to know. my experience is that the attorney general is a very straight shooter. i think that he isn't going to go off half cocked. he is looking into this. i think he has every right to look into this. i think the american people expect him to look into this. >> dana: though he had the

facebook work with congress as both sides of the aisle scrutinize the platform mark warner saying, quote, i'm glad to see that mring what i've been saying for the past two years. the era of the social media wild west is over facebook needs to work with congress to pass effective legislative guardrails but representative cicilline is negative, tweeting facebook is under criminal and civil investigation. it has shown it cannot regulate itself does anyone even want his advice a couple of analysts told us they're bullish on zuckerberg going on the offensive and putting the onus on regulators, but all of this comes amid reports from india that widespread fake news on whatsapp could impact the upcoming elections. facebook has been deleting hundreds of pages to address this issue, but this all speaks to the risk of manipulation in all of facebook's issues going forward. facebook shares trading nearly 1% higher. back over to you. >> julia, also the cynical take out there which wall street journal editorial board picks up and others, which is he's just trying to deflect from the ultimate regulation, which would be breaki

mr. priebus didn't. he wanted to order the jus department to block the at&t/time warner merger but former aide gary cone so. what does it say when "the wall street journal" ed board goes to the effort of digging back in history and writing down the president's own words proving him a liar? >> the president has a glass jaw. >> what does that mean? >> it means he can't take a punch, he can't take a hit. the reason we're seeing him melt down right now is he cannot control the process on capitol hill if democrats don't let him. he's terrified of impeachment, stephanie. so what the democrats need to do is say we're not following your strategy, mr. president. we control this process. and if you don't want to testify, we don't need you. he's melting down because he's terrified of being impeached. the democrats have the ability to do that now based on two years of the mueller report. litigating this and more hearings is not going to expose more facts. what it can do is frame the issue for the american people to more ably understand what's in the mueller report but the democrats can do that right now based on th
