and they look to the rnc to provide a lot of resources. showed governor romney's hand twice during the campaign. . . . . wanted to brief the press on a monday. you ended up briefing them on a saturday. and talk about how the tone was set even before he really started your first official day on the job. >> yeah, and with things, luck, i'll start out by saying this because it's what everyone wants to know. there was no one, my mom and her backup, and then i don't even think that i dedicate shot. just go for it. i mean, everybody knew, myself included, the president had it wasn't put in my best forward and i've said it before the die was cast on that day. it's important to understand it's not an excuse or explaining that people understand the mindset. the mindset is if you catch somebody 20 times on the 21st time they go hey, stop it. how come that wasn't the reason. there was this narrative and undermining of the top -- not just the trump, but the partnerships the rnc ad, our ground game that we invested in we felt really good about what the

second term in the state legislature and also serves as west virginia's national committeewoman on the rnc. please join me in welcoming kayla.

we're out every day working, the rnc has raised to date $250 million.ve put 549 staff on the ground, we've trained 20,000 field organizers, that's four times more than we did in 2016. our infrastructure to turn out our vote to engage with our voters to talk to them about these results is the best it has ever been in the mid terms. candidates matter, that's going to be different in every single race and we need these candidates to talk about their local issues, go out there, they have to work as hard as they have ever worked hand dates -- candidates have to give everything. and we're going to be there backing it up at the rnc. >> brennan: you said it's going to come down to the base in many ways. but a lot of traditional republicans are troubled by some of the president's policies, particularly on trade, tariffs, going against very traditional conservative values. how do you reconcile that? >> first all the president has done things that have been traditional republican policies that we campaigned on for years. deregulation, cutting taxes, strengthening

lou: rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel is here tonight to talk about the dems' intimidation offensive open whether the gop has the backbone, guts, people and resource to fight the dems and win in november. so far the dems seem to be following the obama strategy. you remember the obama strategy. no, no, not, not lead from behind. obama famously or infamously said in battling republicans, quote, if they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun. well we start tonight with breaking news. the senate judiciary committee chair chuck grassley has set a committee vote date for judge brett kavanaugh. the date and the time friday morning, 9:30. the vote comes a day after both kavanaugh and his accuser christine blasey ford are scheduled to testify before the senate. our top story tonight, considerable uncertainty tonight about the future of deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. house republicans are now calling on leadership to bring rosenstein into a house hearing so he can testify under oath about whether he suggested wearing a wire in the white house to record president trump in the apparent hop

when he does is for his own reelection and the rnc. why do you think that his, and forthat created a demand folks like you to be more aggressive or creative on the fundraising front? itven: i hadn't focused on much because it does not directly affect us, but i do sense an ever greater need for the work of outside groups like , just a greater need for that kind of activity because the party committees don't have the resources they have had in the past. with george w. bush, after , andn-feingold became law he did that effectively, which is why outside groups did not get formed until 2010, because president bush met the need himself. jonathan: you mention this earlier, but democrats do seem to have cracked the code on online fundraising, and maybe that is because trump provides the kindling they need to raise the money, but is that a deficit for your party, the fact you can't raise the money online that democrats can? steven: i am not exactly sure what the difference is. it is something that bears looking into. democrats prior to presiden

why did the rnc mysteriously changeanguage to help putin on ukraine at the rnc convention. what other contacts or anything else about donald trump's campaign and russia. >> are there any ties between mr. trump, you or your campaign and putin and his regime? >> no, there are not. it's absurd. >> manafort tonight is back in jail before what will ultimately be sentencing for all of this. he faces a decade in prison for those two crimes he confessed today plus separate time for the conviction in virginia. mueller's team was in a celabra celabratory mood. manafort has to forfeit several of his very luxurious properties. perhaps most importantly to many people, it will include his apartment in trump tower itself. that residence was part of paul manafort's pitch to trump that he should be hired as a volunteer on the campaign. tonight paut manafol manafort j new group. a group of trump aides who have gone onto plead guilty at the hands of the federal government. let's get right to a very important panel that we put forward. my thanks to all of you. this is one of those days. when y

, and dear sean spicer was a consultant for the rnc. they had asked some of the cream of the crop, black reporters to come to the rnc because they were looking for the black vote. yes. they were talking about oh, they were on the dry erase board talking about this is what we're going to do, this is how it's going to happen, these are the numbers that happened before and we are going to crunch this because this is what we're going to do. me and myself, i'm always raising my hand, i said well wait a minute, there's a candidate out there in this field of 25,000, i said that's talking and it's not about coming together and unifying to win. i will never forget how reince and how sean were up against that wall like they were the king makers, like yeah, it's going to happen this way, it's got to happen this way. i said but, but, but you got a candidate who is dividing the nation on race and i said how are you going to get him to conform to what you want? talking about donald trump. they said well, he's going to need our data. hm. donald trump

discussed invoking 25 amendment to remove the president, we have reaction from kayleigh mcenany from the rnc coming up. we're awaiting the president from a meeting. big tech taken to the wood shed on capitol hill. justice department now looking into claims of conservative censorship on social media. >> another day of chaos, more protests during day two of judge brett kavanaugh hearing. we have highlights. a fox business exclusive tonight, uber ceo here to talk to susan lee. and a story flying under the radar, president trump sharing a u.n. security council meeting to take on iran. you heard me right. we have that story, thank you for joining us uthank you for watching, money, politics, i am elizabeth macdonald, the "evening edit" starts right now. liz: to your money, dow closed slightly higher. nasdaq and s&p falling. netflix lead a steep tech sell-off. that "new york times" anonymous op-ed, appears to be written by a male senior official according to times twitter account. with me live from white house blake berman. reporter: don't know who the person is, "new york times" op-ed page. where

circuit judge, i've upheld contribution limits in two important cases, one rolling against the rnc in rnc versus fec where it was challenging limits on contributions to political parties, and i rejected that challenge. another, bloomen versus fec, contributions by foreign citizens to u.s. election campaigns and i upheld that. >> let's just talk about that case because your opinion left open the possibility of unlimited spending by foreign nationals in the united states on issue advocacy. the same kind of activity that we saw by the russians in 2016. in fact a russian company facing charges brought by special counsel mueller actually cited your opinion in arguing to have these charges thrown out. does that concern you at all? >> our case dealt with contribution limits, so that's what i was opining on in that case. so i'm not sure that there are the state of the law on expenditure limits was not before us in that case so i don't want to opine on expenditure limits. >> well, it was that opinion that was cited by -- >> i don't know if it was cited -- well, i don't want to talk about a pen

one ruling against the rnc in rnc versus fec where it was challenging limits on contributions to political parties. i rejected that challenge. in another, bloomen versus fec, contributions by foreign citizens to u.s. election campaigns. i upheld that law. >> let's just talk about that case. your opinion left open the possibility of unlimited spending by foreign nationals in the united states on issue advocacy. the same kind of activity that we saw by the russians in 2016. in fact, a russian company facing charges brought by special counsel mueller actually cited your opinion in arguing to have these charges thrown out. does that concern you at all? >> our case dealt with contribution limits. so that's what i was opining on in that case. so i'm not sure that there are -- the state of the law on the expenditure limits was not before us in that case. so i don't want to opine on expenditure limits. you should know that opinion was cited by -- >> well, i don't know if it was cited -- well, i don't want to talk about a pending case. my case i upheld. importantly, i upheld limits on contributions

this is an rnc sponsored poll and they said that we have a problem. is that your perception?> i think so, democrats have a lot of momentum into the with as, not unusual republican president and a republican house and senate for democrats to have momentum going to the midterm. republicans have a challenge with their message and the tax-cut, which should have been a good talking point for republicans running for reelection in this cycle, is a challenge because it looks like it was done for the rich and changing that message, changing that opinion in the minds of so many voters who are charged up about other things, whether russia related charges or the supreme court hearings, makes it difficult for republicans in this cycle. i still give democrats the advantage in flipping the house. they are making strong headway in the senate. if you look at texas and arizona, and nevada, three states where it is anybody's guess who will win, republicans running for reelection will be able to retain those. question, theer way the republicans and democrats perceive the economy going into this

also wasn't serving coffee and i also don't think the campaign would have invited me to speak at the rnc the way they did if they viewed me as a coffee boy. >> you spoke at the convention? >> yes. >> well, not exactly. papadopoulos spoke at an event in cleveland that occurred during the republican national convention. albeit it was alongside heavyweights like senator bob corker. still, resume padding is part of the papadopoulos m.o. especially after trump announced him as a foreign policy adviser. >> george papadopoulos, he's an oil and energy consultant, excellent guy. >> critics immediately seized on the fact that papadopoulos listed his time on a model u.n. as international experience. papadopoulos worked briefly on the short-lived ben carson for president campaign where he says he helped prepare the candidate for debates. >> join hands with me. >> and prior to that he had traveled to cyprus and israel as a researcher at the hudson institute, a conservative think tank in d.c. >> i jumped right into working with very high-level officials who had just left the bush administration, dougl

>> so i met john once at the rnc convention. so if there was an email, as john is eluding to, various members of the campaign copied on this, it doesn't matter if i deleted it, they would have had receipts of my email and i don't think that proof has ever been provided. >> so you just think he misremembers? >> i think he misremembered, yeah. >> there are people who are going to think there's no way you didn't tell anyone on the campaign. you didn't tell cory lewandowski? >> i didn't share this with anyone on the campaign. >> deerborn? mashburn? >> anyone. >> none of them? >> i might have but i have no recollection of doing so. can't guarantee it. all i can tell you is my memory says i never shared it with anyone on the campaign. >> but that meeting is the reason that operation cross fire hurricane, the fbi investigation into possible conspiracy between russians and the trump campaign was launched was because of your meeting with hum and him making that offer. >> actually it wasn't an offer. it was a statement, a proclamation. >>

i don't think the campaign would have invited me to speak at the rnc the way they did if i was a coffee. >> you spoke at the convention? >> yes. >> not exactly. papadopoulos spoke at a cleveland during the time of the convention. still, resume patting is part of the papadopoulos mo, especially after president trump introduced him. >> george papadopoulos, and energy and oil consultant. >> reporter: critics seized after he was listed as model u.n. as a credential. he worked on the ben carson for president campaign where he says he prepared him for debates and before that, traveled to cyprus and the hudson institute. >> i jumped in with high level officials after leaving the bush administration. scooter libby, these are really my mentors. >> it's the job papadopoulos had just before he joined the campaign that seems to prove pivotal. this is the london center of international law practice. behind its unassuming brick facade lies one of the central mysteries of george papadopoulos's story. what is the london center? according to its website, they provide training to individuals quote seekin

what does this internal rnc polling show?ce is that republican voters are listening to donald trump when he talks about a red wave in november, contrary to conventional wisdom the democrats will make big gains and these republican voters both because they trust what the president says and because they don't trust traditional polling are looking like they won't show up to vote in november as a result. of course, if that happens there is going to be a democratic landslide. >> and you have seen these magical numbers. you have seen the inside baseball figures, which is a dream for any political reporter. what the republican strategists are seeing is the same national environment, that republicans have an uphill climb, correct? >> that's exactly right. anybody can see that stuff because i posted it all on bloomberg.com. but this is not some outside pollster. this is the republican national committee's own internal poll saying not only are democrats ahead nine points on the generic po ballot. but the biggest problem is the presiden

the rnc is supposed to be a big part of getting the base out. i want to give credit to -- >> a little more specifically about what you are doing? >> i try not to get too much into the tactics and strategies. if we give away too much, the democrats can undermine it. we are working to turn out the base. we have nine special elections and we have turned out enough every time. special elections are hard. we won more special elections in the modern era than anybody. you have to go back to the 1860s i think to find a time when there is more special elections that we have had. and you have not had a party that has been able to dominate the way we have. despite the fact that we did not cover the spread. the summer job. my job is to win the race. but i feel good about what we have done. we got the base out. despite the natural advantage to democrats, we have turned out enough voters in every race that we feel comfortable we will win. that is what it takes. we know how to do it now. we maybe have not perfected it but we had some great successes and know w

the rnc far out-raising the dnc with more than $14 million in cash on hand, zero debt.he democrats have $7 million on hand, more than $6 million in debt. however, when it comes to the house and senate fund-raising committees, democrats are outpacing the g.o.p. guide benson, how do you see it, because so much of this is issue-based, and i would argue that the democrats are on the agenda they are running on. >> guy: it is issue-based, every election is. if you look at the broader context of how the country's feeling. when you look at the house on the senate, if i were to put down money today, we have an eternity in trump cycles. if i were put down a bit about an election held tomorrow, i would probably guess that the democrats are the narrow favorites to win the house of representatives. the senate map is a lot harder for them, and i think about if you go race by race, there is a decent chance republicans would gain the seats in the u.s. senate. i think it, from a conservative perspective, that's really important. one of the lasting legacy compliments for president trump

the rnc calling the democratic party crazy town. we'll highlight who is up for election, including congresswoman watters. we'll show you every senate race that matters. we have identified on the show 75 house races that will determine the balance of power in the house. you might want to look and see if your district is in play tonight. and we have a message for former president obama, he's back in the spotlight, talking about his favorite topic, himself. plus the deep state, house of cards literally now coming crashing down. tonight, we are on the verge of breaking it wide open. believe it or not, there are brand new text messages between lisa page and peter strzok. we know for a fact what the insurance man was, we have coordination between the d.o.j. and the fbi and we have the evidence that they were to leak anti-trump information to you, the public, in the spring of 2017 to destroy the president. even mueller's pit bull andrew weissmann himself was allegedly involved in all of these dirty deep state likes. we know what that insur

i got leaked a little bit of rnc polling which they surveyed strong trump supporters. 57% of them thoughtt was unlikely that democrats could take the house. nate silver at 538 has that at 83% chance that republicans -- democrats will take the house. so the disconnect between what the maga crowd believes versus mainstream pollsters and forecasters believe is so stark. and it's based on their own lived experience of 2016 where they were told the whole way through that they were crazy. >> politics is perception. >> now trump is telling them, guys, don't believe what you see and hear. >> mike shields, following up on your reporting, the former rnc chief of staff told me on the record the other day that he and others have told trump you've got to stop doing this. he pointed to his -- >> we just had a tweet that the president was just tweeting like the economy is better than it's ever been before. this is further information for his voters that everything is fine. >> that's a different message. he's actually listening apparently. >> we're reporting today some of the same polling. and the econom

less than a month after that exchange "the new york times" published, published a story about rnc hacksn the very same day bus speed published a dossier filled with russian lies that hillary paid for. you have strzok referring to the cia pulling out all the stops saying the cia is scorned and that they are political and they are leaking like mad. less than a month later the dossier becomes public. is this the kind of politically motivated leaking from our most trusted government officials? is that acceptable, john brennan? i hate to say that chuck schumer is right, but if you go against the intelligence community, they will get you six ways to sunday. why? because the deep state with the power that they have intelligencewise, it's like a house of cards. we are watching the whole scheme come come tumbling down. revealing the level of corruption in your government that should make you sick and concerned, and as it turns out, high-ranking deep state officials, they weren't the only people rocked by the election of donald trump. look at breitbart.com. they obtained official video from insid

again, lisa page texting strzok, "remind me to tell you tomorrow "the times" doing a story about the rncacks." strzok responding "more than they already did? i told you that quinn told me they are pulling all the stops out on some story."t he then followed up "think our sisters have become leaking like mad. scorned and worried and political, they are kicking into overdrive." according to reporting from her own catherine herridge, the sisters they are referring to that strzok mention, that likely is the cia, that would be john brennan and barack obama's cia. less than a month after that exchange, "the new york times" published, published a story about rnc hacks on the very same day buzzfeed published a steele dossier filled with russian lies that hillary paid for.sh you have strzok referring to the cia pulling out all the stops saying the cia is scorned and that they are political and they are leaking like mad.he less than a month later, the dossier becomes public. is this the kind of politically motivated leaking from our most trusted government officials? is that acceptable, john brenna

my colleues katty kay and christian fraser spoke to an rnc spokeswoman for their program "beyond 100 days." katty: thanks very much for coming in. how frustrating is it that you look at eight polls inhe last o weeks that shows the seesident's approval rating decline and yet yothis good economic news? kayleigh: we are not frustrated by it at the republican national committee, and the reason i say that is the rasmussen poll hast the presid points higher. it was the most accurate poll during the 2016 election.ce we don't arily believe those numbers. katty: right, but it is hard to dismiss eight different polls. i would take your point if it is just one poll, but we have eight different falls with a three-point decline over the past two weeks. you cannot dismiss that totally. kayleighwell, there were zens of polls showing hillary clinton winning in pennsylvania and wisconsin and michigan. all of those were wrong. we believe there is a phenomenon where votersino not trust itutions and they don't want to talk to pollsters. they hang up the phone, they don't register support on the record,

an attempted clinton e-mail hack and the rnc platform change on ukraine policy. how are you stitching those things together and what do you want to know? are you looking at jared kushner, the president's son? the president? >> yeah, they are actually going -- there's so much available to them now through manafort the mueller team is going to have to strategize and compartment the debriefing of manafort. i believe there will be specialists that come in to handle certain categories. and, of course, there will be a team that's focused on the president and his conduct and what he knew and when he knew it. and whether it involves obstruction and whether it involves prior knowledge or knowledge after the fact of hacking and release of e-mails. who knew what when and to what degree was manafort simply a self-seeking opportunist? i'm in debt over my head. i need to do this to get out of that debt and i don't care who i bring down with me. they'll have to figure that all out. >> joyce, let me bring you in on what happens operationally for the nonlawyers among us. does pau

he decided bush would be the kind of person he wanted at the rnc because he would be a loyal follower of the president's ideas. it became difficult because of watergate. job ofd the unenviable being forced to go out on the stump everyday and defend the president, a president who he increasingly came to believe and then know have been lying to him. like other republicans at that time, the moment they realized they had been made to lie for nixon, that was a moment he and others encouraged his resignation. 1974, he went to china as the u.s. liaison for only 14 months. who sent him and why did he take that job? dr. engel: gerald ford sent him. fortis sent him essentially as a reward for the service he had done for the republican party. bush had been talked about as being ford's vice president. that did not happen, but they wanted to give him a nice landing place. to be honest, ford wanted as many people involved in watergate and bush was the public face of watergate, though never involved. it is an amazing story how they got to china. everyone knew at this point he had diplomacy -- the di

by the bureaucrats, whether or not you've heard of an effort that's been unanimously endorsed by the rnc with the approval of the white house for a constitutional amendment called the regulation read amendment which has been endorsed by, mike pence was the first to supported which would require that regulations be approved by congress. a theory if you get two thirds of the states and the majority of the public, every time that happened in american history, congress has proposed the amendment without a convention. what have you heard of that and what you think about the idea? >> it's a tough road to get a constitutional amendment. you really have to get massive support but i think we've already made a lot of progress in that respect and we will make more if we get judge cavanaugh approved because we now will have five members of the supreme court who believe that the fourth branch of government, the administrative state has gone too far and they've already begun to rain it in. there's something called chevron deference where they give deference to the decisions of agencies on certain even

here to weigh in on that rnc spokesperson kayleigh. thanks for coming in this morning.esident at the un, it's a little funny he think it is un in a lot of ways is a joke and push an agenda, they are probably not going to like it in some ways, right? >> they are not going to like it and this is why he was elect today shake things up, to shake up the international order, people were sick of watching the obama administration going to un, allowing un security council consistently admonish israel while ignoring so many other countries, he was elected for this precise reason. jillian: second ago in introduction, we heard that the un has not lived up to potential and expectations do you agree? >> yes, they haven't lived up to expectations when you are sanctioning and you are going after israel, someone who is an ally, democracy in the middle east, so many other countries that are ignored, it's why we pulled some of funding from the un and president trump shaking up the world order by saying i'm not going to do tpp. rob: punish us. >> the paris climate accord would have cost 2.

here is what the chairman of the rnc had to say about that. >> he was talking to the candidates about the importance of being likable. but we are not going to lose texas. anybody who watched ted cruz this week with judge kavanaugh, hearing him talk about the importance of the rule of law and to the importance of what judge kavanaugh would bring to the bench knows that ted cruz is an excellent representative of texas' b-1 how likely is it that texas alexa democrat? >> i think the success so far is shocking so far he was on the ellen degeneres show this week, he is doing everything he can to become the golden boy of the democratic party. it is still a state that trump one by nine points. it cruises solidly leaning towards him. but, to mulvaney's point which is interesting, mulvaney served in congress with ted cruz. it doubles down to be antitrust crews. ted cruz. if anything, it gives him a little bit of a push. >> jon: typically, the economy is the most important issue when voters go to the polls. this economy seems to be on fire. does that get negated by some of the presidents to read

joining me to debate is rnc spokesperson kaylee mcinerney and majority leader in ohio, thank you fora little background to the story, we can see the actual response, responding to a tweet that asks democrats say they believe women, do they believe you, karen monahan says they don't, sneered, friends, isolated from my own party, provided medical records from 2017, stating two doctor visits, i called about the abuse and who did it. my therapist released records stating i have been dealing and healing from the abuse. is there a double standard? >> the bigger and more important question for me as a democrat is do we have a double standard in our own party because keith ellison is part of the national committee. al franken, pushed out of the senate. we saw john conyers from michigan pushed out because of allegations of sexual assault. democrats have set up in the context of the political arena of saying enough is enough, but offering the violence against women act making sure was reauthorized in 2015 which is more important than the political rhetoric, my question is why is keith ellison

you and the rnc published an opinion piece in usa today.times" op-ed, you are no hero. you have acted like a petulant child. they could not ignore the president's agenda continues to benefits americans tremendously. it highlights the president's tax cuts, rapid deregs laying, support for strong military and other accomplishments. what happens next with all this? >> you are seeing the same playbook we saw in 2016. the democrats and the media tried to make this case that he was unfit to be president. and now you are seeing that same narrative come out ahead of this election with the woodward book, the op-ed. he is unfit to be president. we should be concerned. the results don't lie. and the people who work with this president john kelly, mattis, the people who are being referenced in the books are coming forward and saying we work everyday. our military is being funded. veterans are being taken care of. isis on the run and economy is rising. president trump is concerned about people who now have a voice in washington >> bill: sounds like a ca

lou: joining us attorney rnc committee woman harmeet dhillon. great to have you with us. gregg jarrett, fox news analyst and author of the "new york times" best-seller the russia hoax. congratulations on your continued success. >> thank you. lou: harmeet, start with california, delivering once again. this is getting really both dangerous and just as stupid as it can be on the part of the left in this country. >> you got it. far from denouncing it, republican supporters in california are subjected to this type of violence on a daily basis. maxine waters encouraging it. senators like cory booker encouraging it. as you know, lou, i have a lawsuit against the city of san jose and police officers for allowing trump supporters to be beaten up in the streets and everybody anybody who is an out republican in the bay area is concerned that safety may be at issue, so we need to have zero tolerance policy from law enforcement and the government for this type of violence, it doesn't belong in our country at all. lou: gregg, is she right? >> absolutely. people like maxine waters who a

the rnc's new ad. >> please get up in the face of some congress people. >> everybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you. >> those republican leaders and president trump don't give a [bleep]. >> i just don't know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. lou: 60 days now until the midterms, november 6, 2018. it's all up to you. our first guest tonight to take up the anger, the hate, the desperation of the dems in the kavanaugh hearing and the new call for president trump to declassify and release the carter page fisa application documents, joining us tonight, congressman matt gates. he's been at the forefront of the battle to expose corruption at the highest levels of both the justice department and the fbi. the congressman serves on a number of very important committees, including judiciary, the budget and armed scheses committees. armed services committees. good to have you with us. congressman, let's start with these hearings for a justice to sit on the supreme court. the dems' behavior, i have seen some ugly he

the rnc is doing a ton of that, invested a lot of money in turn out operations and you will start to see culminating in the next 60 days. it is supposed to be a big part of getting the base out and i want to give credit -- i feel confident we are going to get our base out enough to hold the house. >> specifically about what you are doing? >> i try not to get into our specific tactics and strategies. if we give away too much democrats will copy it and undermine it. we are working to turn out our base and we have practice in tween 9 special elections and turned out enough every time. special elections are hard. through the history of special elections we won more special elections in the modern era than anybody. the 1860s to a time when there were more special elections than we had and you haven't had a party that was able to dominate the way we have despite the fact we didn't cover the spread. that is not my job. my job is to win the race. i feel good about what we have done. we test a lot of strategies and tactics for getting our base out and despite the national advantage to democra

lou: well joining me now, attorney rnc committee woman for the state of california, harmeet dhillon. great to have you with us. let's start with this bombshell from robert mueller saying that he will accept the president's attorney's recommendation that there be written questions and written answers to any -- in any interview that they could accept. your reaction. >> this is a good compromise, lou. it's much better in the sense that lawyers can help with this and control what information is given and help make sure that it doesn't stray off point. i think this is a really good development and moving closer towards closure here. lou: i think that's some of the problem here, isn't it? there is no clear map forward on the part of the special counsel. this could go irrespective of whatever the president concedes. it could go for years. there is no end point. >> it could. lou: there are no markers. it is just a special counsel waging war on the president under the rubric of collusion with the russians. which we know there was none. >> well that is -- right. that is the problem with the wh
