mrs. clinton's remarks there are sore-lose arisen.t donald trump's president and she is now, so of course she is going to down talk anything he does, including this historic summit. i worked for president nixon during the last years of his life, and what we are seeing is, to me, a really interesting historical analogy. richard nixon in 1967 i wrote a famous piece where he articulated his vision of his opening to china. the opening did not take place until 1972. it took five years to lay the groundwork for that historic opening where nixon abroad in china out of isolation, into the community of nations. it donald trump is doing a similar thing here. i mean, this is really earth shattering. on top of it, now you've got the calculation of nuclear weapons and the possibility of at least moving towards denuclearizing the korean peninsula. this is huge. he will never get any credit from his critics, including first and foremost, mrs. clinton. but that doesn't mean that the reality is lost on the american people. it is not. >> laura: again,

mrs. clinton last time. >> so why don't you run as an independent?thought about the libertarian party again, but i decided i really wanted to go mono/mono with mr. trump. there's so many things he's doing that i think are undermining our democratic institutions and i think he's leading the country in the most fundamental way in the wrong direction. and that clearest shot is in the republican primary. >> and so one of your strategies, as you just said have to focus on the states where democrats can vote in the republican primary? >> no, no, democrats can't ever take a republican ballot. it's unenrolled and independent voters who can come in the and that always helped me when i was running. the independents came in and voted formy voted for me six to one, maybe as a centrist but somebody who would work across the aisle to get things done. that's what's not happening in washington, d.c. right now. >> thank you for explaining all of this to us. obviously we will be watching very closely your next moves. >> thanks, alisyn. >>> democratic presidential cand

companies that they could face sanctions if they get involved in the north stream two project in fact mr clinton alabaster could i beg your pardon along with the ambassadors to denmark and the european union from the united states of written a letter saying why they're firmly against north stream to. the use dependence on russian gas harbors risks for europe and the west as a whole and puts a soul in the precarious position nordstrom too will do even more than just russian gas russia smites him influence will spread all the way to europe an important project but there may be a stumbling block that we didn't expect to see along the way they'll be voting on friday on whether those changes to the e.u. gas directive will be passed or whether it is germany really russia or if they want this project to get off the ground want they'll be blocked. have to wait and see r.t. europe correspondent peter oliver thanks for giving us an update on the. news round up for now they back around thirty minutes with more but do stay with us now for the kaiser report. or this is the report we are in for a good mexico

mrs. clinton until the end of the year. most important take-away from this is of course andy mccabe is trying to walk this back. this guy is not that bright. he just admitted in a "60 minutes" interview to taking part in a coup attempt. that is the hard facts. there is no way to weasel out of this. >> we'll see sunday. but this is the walk-back. ready? he was present and participated in a discussion that included a comment by deputy director rod rosenstein, attorney general, regarding the 25th amendment. it wasn't a big mention but mentioned once. rosenstein said i said i would overthrow the government but i said it sarcastically i'd wear a wire. i don't like either side. >> when i go to dinner with my friends i don't casually bring up, you want to rob a bank? don't worry, i'm just kidding. some things the dep tu of the director of the f.b.i. give him a pro tim. not a good idea from a former director to hit the 25th amendment. removing a president from office. this was discussion of a soft coup. there is no way around this.

mrs. clinton and that violated long-standing procedures and principles to the department picked up a lot of criticism including by me at the time and since and also by attorney general bar. he stands, i think, in the best traditions of the department to condemn the release of derogatory investigative information about an uncharged person, the role of the prosecutor is if you will say, they've your pleadings. charge the guy. but it in the indictment criminal information. then the defense can barely react and then you are accountable to the court for what you're saying and then there is discipline to it but you don't get to describe unrelated or uncharged conduct that just happens to be derogatory. so, that continues on through the whole criminal case and not supposed to do it at any point. if you have something to say about the evidence of the case you pleaded in a pleading before the court, and otherwise keep your mouth shut and stand on your pleadings. the problem comes when that rule gets applied in this case. here is the circumstance. the mueller report comes out and it is full of invest
