it is wonderful to be at the newseum. we are just steps away from the capital, from the supreme court, and from georgetown law school. we are nearby, and we are very supportive of intelligence squared and the work they are doing. for much of the reason john was talking about, the opportunity for respectful debate, an antidote to the political polarization we have and about one of the most important issues we are facing now. this is the kind of activity that we encourage and that reflects some of the values we have at georgetown law. another georgetown connection is

katz's journal that he kept during his year in vietnam is here on display at the newseum, and there's an entry that says grantham a.b., charlie 15, gunshot wound to the chest. it's just a short entry. so i said to mayer, i said, mayer, it doesn't look like it was that significant. he said it wasn't that significant, and i said, wait a minute, so his wound wasn't that significant. he said, no, we got these all the time, and i said, well, you moan, he wasn't wounded that badly, and he said no, he came to us dead. we just brought him back. that struck me as to the power and importance and dedication these surgeons had. now mayer tells the story of operating on a marine. came to him with a gunshot wound. his guts were exposed as they brought him in. they put him on the operating table, and he went into cardiac arrest. he had a partner, a surgeon partner, and they opened his chest, and they took turns. one would massage his heart and the other would try to stop the bleeding and they massaged his heart for 44 minutes without success, and mayer said to his partner i think we've got to call i

but he appeared today at the newseum in washington, d.c., a harvard educated lawyer. he's worked for three different presidents. he's been u.s. attorney in one of the tougher postings in this country up in baltimore, and he was talking about the attacks on him. he was asked about this possible case of impeachment. here's his answer. >> i can tell you there have been people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time, loved and i think they should understand by now the department of justice is not going to be extorted. >> so, julia, not a shrinking violet. do you think, like a good police officer, he had backup prior to making that pronouncement, or does he have, as lawyers say, reason to believe that there are people with his back at doj down the road? >> well, i mean i think he hit it on the head. he's been threatened publicly and privately. i've spoken to people close to rosenstein. obviously we know the public threats. it's come from the tweets of our president. but there have also been people privately. there are people that

. >> the rosenstein event was at the newseum here in washington at the press club to be precise. but i have in front of me, the memorandum that rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general is overseeing the mueller probe, gave to robert mueller, the special counsel, dated august 2nd, 2017 and you could see up on the screen and youth chunks blocked out and they said they have to do it to protect the criminal investigation going on. but as you know, senator, the president of the united states could declassify anything he wants. that is totally legal, he can decide this is not classified information and he could release it if he wants to. what could you do in response to that? >> that is a great question, wolf. and it highlights the distinction that has to be made here. we're not talking about classified material, that may be useful to some foreign adversary or enemy, we're talking about evidence of a crime that could compromise an investigation. because it is useful to a potential defendant and enables that person to evade justice. again, it is about the rule of law. they're refusal

we also worked with the newseum. it had a spectacular one as did four of the smithsonians. i could go through each of the events and go from there. the white house historical association. they did three or four different things. mrs. kennedy founded the white house historical association and was very important in preservation. if you come to the library, you can see some of those things -- i could go through each of the events and go from there. the white house historical association. they did three or four different things. mrs. kennedy founded the white house historical association and was very important in preservation. if you come to the library, you can see some of those things including the red dress she wore on that cbs special when she gave the tour that 60 million people ended up watching. and she got her own emmy for that. these are the partners just in washington, d.c. alone. we also try to get the message that ken and frank and gil were talking about. john f. kennedy was the him visionary of visionaries. from the kennedy airport to the logan airport. as you leav

we also worked with the newseum. it had a spectacular one as did four of the smithsonians. i could go through each of the events and go from there. the white house historical association. differenthree or four things. mrs. kennedy founded the white house historical association and was very important in preservation. if you come to the library, you can see some of those things including the red dress she wore on that cbs special when she gave the tour that 60 million people ended up watching. and she got her own emmy for that. the partners just in washington, d.c. alone. we also try to get the message ken and frank and gil were talking about. john f. kennedy was the visionary of visionaries. from the kennedy airport to the logan airport. as you leave, you will see some information cards on this to connect that even though he was born in 1917, his vision is as relevant or maybe more so than ever before. this is a worldwide celebration. could find out how many places are named after john kennedy. how many of you think there are 100 places named after him? 200? 300? identified

he did a speech yesterday at the newseum. he talked about the department of justice. take a listen. >> there have been people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time. i think they should understand by now the department of justice is not going to be extorted. we will do what is required by the rule of law and any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way we do our job. >> dana: so those of us who love our country and love the constitution know that the three branches of government are set up for a reason. guy, what you are seeing here is a real debate between the executive and the congressional and perhaps the judicial branch. >> and what he calls "extortion" the house republican freedom caucus calls "oversight." so the piece i'm trying to figure out here as i'm watching these sort of bombs get lobbed back and forth is we just saw a few days ago headlines that chairman goodlat and chairman gowdy reached an agreement on the documents. why the house freedom caucus is going the impeachment article route

but today at an event at the newseum in washington, in celebration of law day, rosenstein appeared perfectlyith his current situation, and the questioning of rosenstein got under way with a critical question. >> i'd like to begin with a question that's on everybody's mind. >> uh-oh. >> and i would appreciate a clear and direct answer. to set the record straight. how do you pronounce your last name? is it -- is it rosenstein or rosenstein? >> so there's no right answer to that question. my family, my father pronounces it stein, but i have relatives that pronounce it steen. >> glad we got that owl of the way. rosenstein we'll go with also told a story about a question his daughter asked when his family found out he was becoming deputy attorney general. >> my younger daughter was 14 at the time when she heard i was going to become deputy. she asked me a very important question. she said, dad, does this mean you'll get your picture in the paper? and i said, no. so, it was quite unexpected. >> that whole staying out of the papers thing is going real well. we compiled just a rough sample of the he

it was a q&a at the newseum in d.c. then it was him at this bar association meeting for their annual meeting for law day in maryland. and i realize those things seem off the radar, right? but he really is doing something here. house republicans who support trump really are planning something, apparently for early next week where they're going to try to bring impeachment proceedings against rosenstein directly to the floor of the house without putting it through even the committee process or holding any hearings. the reason they want to get rid of rosenstein is because they think it's the way to get rid of the mueller investigation. well, the way they are laying a predicate for doing this next week, for an impeachment effort against rosenstein or a firing of him by the president, is that they are demanding that rosenstein hand over materials about mueller's ongoing investigation, and these are materials he can't hand over and these are materials that he now insistently says he will not hand over. at the start of this wee

the newseum hosted this event.
