. >> nia-malika, do you agree? does this help trump in his argument against the fbi?es. those very easy to read easy to understand text messages between lisa page and peter strzok, this idea that she's nervous about a trump presidency and he says we won't let it happen, we'll stop it. so we haven't heard from the president yet, i think people are wondering what he's going to tweet. but you can imagine, it's his 72nd birthday. this is a good gift for him we heard sarah sanders saying this reaffirms some of their concerns and i think this is a good day. i also think there's something for everyone here. if you're a democrat you look at this and you say james comey did act inappropriately and you can also perhaps argue that his actions cost hillary clinton the election. she's argued that in the last days, that october 28 memo to congress saying that the investigation was going to be reopened into the weiner e-mails, you can argue that cost her some of her support cratered in those last days, at least according to some of the pollsters. so i think no one -- there won't be

joining me to discuss all of this is nia malika henderson and mark preston. mark, is this crisis in a substantively different place than it was last week? >> no, absolutely not. look, where we were last week and where we are right now is we're not seeing these detentions and separations on such a mass scale, but, you know, as was just laid out there, there is no legislative fix now on capitol hill. president trump doesn't seem to have a plan, doesn't seem to be working with congress other than trying to goad them and give them quite frankly very poor political advice, telling house republican, senate republicans, to forget about immigration. and we'll deal with it after the election when we win. that is terribly, terrible, terrible, terrible advice now to fellow republicans. this is a very, very important issue. if it looks like republicans are walking away from it now, kate that will hurt them more so in november. >> the president said last week, and again this morning that putting more judges on the job to speed up the process isn't what he wants. he says i

let me bring in now, josh campbell, former supervisory agent at the fbi, nia malika henderson, and evan perez, cnn's justice correspondent. evan, i just sent this out as we were watching this whole thing play, there is not even a pretense of decorum anymore. it is straight up hostile between -- just look at jim jordan and the deputy attorney general. i know jim jordan said it wasn't personal but it is hard to think it wasn't. >> you cannot help but think it is personal because here we have the deputy attorney general who is a republican, who is life long republican, who is appointed by president trump, he's, you know, someone who is according to him, trying his best to address the concerns of the members of congress and, by the way, he revealed during his testimony there that they produced 880,000 pages of documents, they got 100 staffers, also brought in, a u.s. attorney to oversee the production of these documents. and he's also saying that they're trying to do this while trying to make sure that it doesn't affect or hurt the ongoing investigation that is being handled by bob mueller.

malika nia henderson, let me get your thought on these two women. president's wife, the president's daughter clearly are playing a significant role. >> one question is why did it take the first ladies to stir some compassion in this president, right? ted cruz came to this decision that this was a policy that shouldn't stand. he presumably didn't need his wife to convince him. it's almost like compassion is sort of outsourced to the women, the first lady in this case and ivanka trump. i agree with sara. this idea that ivanka trump said, we really need to focus on this. i think she works at the white house every day. and i think this policy has been going on for about six weeks and i don't know that she has been out front, certainly not publicly, in trying to do something about it. it's a story that has been brought to us by pictures and sounds, in images, but it's not going to be one that's solved wi th -- by that, right? i do commend the first lady of going down there, but the logistics of how you get these kids who are all over the country -- some
