anne gearan is a reporter with "the washington post," kellyanne conway and robert gibbs was the white house press secretary under president obama. how far are republicans willing to pursue this? they are asking for hillary clinton to testify under oath at least twice under e-mails and meanwhile the a.p. is saying they will sue. and saying that congress may have an option to forcibly seize the e-mail server. >> let me get to the heart of the matter moving forward. are you going to be taking steps to compel her to hand over the server? >> well, our committee doesn't have the power under our rules. we don't have the power to seize a personal property like that. the house as a whole is frank leanne open constitutional question whether or not the house as a whole has that legal authority. the house as a whole may have the authority to seize personal property. my committee does not. >> and later today, the house oversight committee prepared to subpoena clinton for electronic access to her e-mails when asked if that includes access to her deleted e-mails, a spokesperson told "hardball," we w

in walk former white house press secretary for president obama robert gibbs. we will get to hillary clinton and aaron schock. literally a shock. we have that story coming up. a little heart breaking. extremely abrupt. there must be more going on there. first, let's begin in israel. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is eyeing a fourth term after a dramatic turn of events defying expectations and the most recent polls, his likud party surge to pick up ♪ parliament. six more than the zionist movement. netanyahu is declaring a race that days ago seemed to be slipping away. netanyahu is urging other parties on the right to help him form a strong and stable government to protect the security of israel. but the negative tone of the race is leading to plenty of questions about the future this morning. what will be the fallout to comments about the turnout to israeli arabs as he wrote in part quote the right-wing government is in danger. arab voters are coming out in droves to the polls. left-wing organizations are bussing them out. also what will the relationship be g

but they really are looking at having a much different operation than in 2008. >> robert gibbs?w do you not just -- because as you just said, the brilliance of bill clinton is his ability to get people to see things that might not be so obvious. so it's more than just having somebody standing backstage that says don't go off script. it really is a strategy for how you use all of his immense political talents. isn't that the case? >> absolutely. and a lot of that is behind the scenes involving him more in the strategy in messaging, in looking at the polling. look, a lot of his frustration, robert as you remember in 2008, was the fact that people involved in hillary's campaign were very used to keeping him at a distance for protecting hillary clinton from bill clinton a lot of the times. this time i think there's a hope that if you sent the size if you bring him into the operation much more in a dieynamic way he will be happier, he will feel like he's part of this message and he will be of service to her in a greater way. >> all right. patrick, thank you so much. greatly appreciat

even robert gibbs is weighing in in a way that's not so great for her. chris has the facts next. >> are you acknowledging this white house has made no effort and is making no effort to determine whether or not your secretary of state broke the law? >>> developing tonight the white house taking serious heat after "the new york times" reveals former secretary of state hillary clinton conducted all of her government business on a private e-mail account. the revelation opening her and the administration up to suggestions that they may have had something to hide. possibly broke record keeping laws, or may have even put our nation's security at risk by leaving her e-mails vulnerable to hackers. former white house press secretary robert gibbs says this is highly unusual. chris stirewalt is our politics editor. clinton says there's no -- there, there, come on, this is like powell did it colin powell did it, that's her defense. >> her defense is in fact colin powell did it. and it is very common across this glorious federal government of ours for people to use pr

and robert gibbs talking about and robert gibbs talking about further bumps in the road. >> this is a relationship between the president and prime minister that you could actually see getting worse in the next few weeks if an iran deal comes through before it ever has a chance to get better. i think it will be very challenging despite the fact that there are a lot of things mutually important as it pertains to foreign policy. >> andrea mitchell is joining me now from jerusalem. that question, then, of whether there is going to be a price to be paid by netanyahu, he's been re-elected, but he did it by making those comments about arab voters. he did it by renouncing the two-state solution. is there going to be a cost for him going forward the way he won this election? >> well, certainly it's a cost of his relationship with this administration. the bet is that he's going to be around a lot longer than barack obama, at least a couple of years, if not a full four-year term. he's been elected for a strong mandate with these hard line policies. the domestic price, a lot of israelis are very

even robert gibbs is weighing in in a way that's not so great for her. chris has the facts next. >> are you acknowledging this white house has made no effort and is making no effort to determine whether or not your secretary of state broke the law? let me talk to you about retirement. a 401(k) is the most sound way to go. let's talk asset allocation. sure. you seem knowledgeable professional. i'm actually a dj.

. >> robert gibbs told "today" this is highly unusual, this whole thing. >> i think it is obviously highlysual. i think it's something they're going to have to explain in good measure today, and probably figure out how to get a lot of those e-mails or as many as they can back into the archives. >> her spokesman responded you know, i think this is going to be -- what is it, michael that your party -- people to the right of you perhaps, what do they think the big hillary secret is, the character thing, the big -- we all know the marge has troubled, big deal, a lot of marriages are troubled. we walked her as a first lady, she's been in public life since he was attorney general of arkansas. we've watched her, she's been on the screen like a butterfly collection. what is the big secret about hillary clinton? >> the big secret is there really is no secret, because we know it all. it's how you talk about it, how you frame it, going back to hillary-care, all of this is part of the narrative, the rose law firm, all of this feats into this theory of her. >> but whitewater was nothing. >> for some pe

and finally robert gibbs and marvin are on the plane and they're like, look can man if you're not there within a couple of minutes we're going leave you. i said you may want to leave me because i don't know where i am and i don't think i'm getting much closer. i see many runways but i have no idea where you guys are at. and ultimately i get there evegetablely and they're still there, and i was like, why didn't you leave me? they were like, well, you're the only guy that has a copy of the speech. [laughter] and i think from that day forward, i think people had realized there was a printer in the terminal. so that was my last excuse for -- they were like we approximately print the speech ourselves next time. so that was kind of during the campaign. that was definitely a pretty big mistake, and he kind of said to me you should never be 30 minutes behind me. in the white house, i don't know. i definitely -- i don't know. mistakes i made that i can talk about. i write about in the -- i think i write about it in the book. an event, in vegas, doing an event. and sometimes there are teleprompte

as robert gibbs points out. rightly so. everyone's briefed on the rules here. and it goes deeper. we have clinton aides doing the same thing, including huma and philippe reins involved in this. 50000 pages we're talking about. she had to know the rules here, correct? >> yeah she had to. look, you know, we don't know how deep it goes, and that's the problem. we have a problem with transparency. those are our e-mails, not her e-mails. we have a problem with national security. she was the secretary of state dealing with the -- you have to assume there had to be confidential and life and death information she was dealing with. it would be easy for foreign countries to get their hands on it. there's no excuse here. they're trying to explain it away. they can't. they've got to turn over all her e-mails. >> i agree. >> just like they should cough up all the foreign money that the foundation took. and be clean about all this. >> you know there's a lot of issues, we have the foreign donations as ron points out. you have this issue now that is in the forefront. on top of that, we learned la

. >> robert gibb says this may impact her campaign. >> this is something the clinton campaign is going it is much easier for critics to explain why they don't exist for her to explain why she used a private e-mail. >> jeb bush weighed in on twitter. he wrote transparency matters, unclassified hillary clinton e-mails should be released. you can see mine here. joining me tonight is a professor of politics and an executive board member. the unvarnished truth from both of you. mitch, you first. is this a problem for hillary clinton? >> i don't think so at all. this is benghazi fever. republicans are good at this. the real issue, and it seems to be coming out now a little bit later, whether or not the law that effects her went into effect november of '14 which was way after she was gone. colin powell said he did business the same way. this is for recordkeeping, not that she hid great secrets and the ranking democrat on the benghazi oversight committee said in a speech he thought the law went into effect after secretary clinton left office. i think it is nonsense. >> how should she handle th

that is what i find anding and the fact that it appears from the president to robert gibbs and john kerry there are people in the administration walking away from hillary clinton and leaving her out this twisting in the wind. i find that is interesting as i do the fact that the e-mails were kept in her private server in her home somewhere away from public view and the private interest is the one she did official business. that makes it problematic. if it was shocking on amazon that is different. >> it is suggested a neutral party, a respected general or judge should have access to go through the entire private server to make sure she has turned over everything relevant. what do you think? >> it could be what she is forced to do just to eliminate all of the questions not that they will ever all be eliminated because when this shadow of doubt has been placeñ, it will linger throughout a president am campaign if she decides to run. >> you were 9 governor of arkansas and came in office four years after bill clinton but you had a lot of i dealings before and during your term with the clintons.

former white house press secretary robert gibbs was on morning joe this morning. let me play what he said and get your thoughts. >> i think this is a relationship between the president and the prime minister that you could see getting worse in the next few weeks if an iran deal comes through before it ever has a chance to get better. i think it will be very challenging, despite the fact that there are a lot of things mutually important to both countries as relates to foreign policy. >> he is highlighting iran. you in your piece talked about the ugly win as you refer to it. >> this is a case tamron where netanyahu won and israel lost because it will now become more isolated in the world. and you will see more efforts, particularly in europe to boycott israel. you're going to see efforts in international organizations to ostracize israel. we have seen this a lot in the united nations over the last 40 years but the united states has always exercised its veto of u.n. security council resolutions that are harmful to israel. that might now end. the u.s. i think will con

that's what i find interesting, as well as the fact that it appears that from the president to robert gibbs, from john kerry, there are people in the administration that are walking away from hillary clinton on this and kind of leaving her out there twisting in the wind. i find that as interesting as i do the fact that these e-mails were kept in her private server, in her home, somewhere away from public view, and that her private e-mail account was the one with which she did official business. that's what makes it problematic. >> governor -- >> it would be different if she was shopping on amazon, chris. >> let me ask you about that, though. it's been suggested that a neutral party, an inspector general, a retired jo, should be able to have access to go through her entire private server to make sure that she has turned over everything that's relevant. what do you think of that idea? >> well, it may be what she's forced to have to do just to eliminate all the questions. not that they will ever all be eliminated. because once this shadow of doubt has been placed, i think it's going to linger

. >>> robert gibbs wasn't helpful either. leathers, the same woman that brought down congressman anthony wiener. we got more on that story. i just lost my concentration. >> it's time for "fox and friends." >>> i didn't not remember her. i remember she was -- on hannity's show. but she had correspondence with anthony wiener. >> she expoed herself and he exposed the fact he exposed heather. >> when you're born with the name leathers, you know what your career is going to be. >> we don't know the congressman, you're about to hear more about that story. we have some other developments as it relates to 2016. >> we have a fox news alert. hillary clinton finally breaking her silence on the e-mail controversy on twitter. >> this coming as the benghazi select committee issues a subpoena to get their hands on those e-mails. >> kevin corke is live in washington with that tweet and the push to release these messages. >> reporter: you're right. keep this in mind, she says she has given the state department some 55,000 pages of e-mails. wh

robert gibbs is talking about hillary clinton.ook i don't want to distract john kerry from selling out america in his talks to iran. we don't want to do that for sure. but i think again, i don't think anyone knows what's going on here except maybe close friends of the clintons. i think they're all treading lightly on this. even the white house, josh earnest didn't know about the account. but he kept the integrity of his emales. it seems like people are trying to put distance and waiting to see what hillary bestows upon us. >> president obama said he found out about this by watching tv. that's like the seventh scandal. >> he's very busy. he has a busy schedule. you know, between espn and msnbc he's flipping back and fort and occasionally he finds out what's happening in the country. we know he was aware of the private e-mail account. it apparently didn't bother him or anyone at the white house. we also know that congress knew about this according to congressman shift knew about this last summer. some members of congress say they sa

robert gibbs served as president obama's press secretary and now is an nbc news political analyst. robert, good to see you. good morning. >> good morning, matt. >> no question the relationship between the president and benjamin netanyahu is at an all-time low. let me ask you this. looking forward, if this nuclear deal goes through and if benjamin netanyahu is reelected, how in the world can these two men work together? >> i do think that the american-israeli relationship is indispensable. and even though i think, matt, there are great disagreements, and the strain in that relationship is as deep as it's ever been, there are a lot of common issues they will have to work on. this speech is just the beginning. not the end. you heard the president talk about it too. congressman interjecting and wanting to approve the deal. this is the beginning of this process and not the end. >> action as the president calls it? >> say that again? >> you would agree, wouldn't you, that this is much more than a distraction, as the president calls it? >> i think that's true. what the president was trying

. >> right here robert gibbs, the former white house press secretary said on the "today show," there'sexplanation for this echoing mr. fournier there is no explanation for this you can't just put it on secretary clinton, she's mostly responsible. but she had a boss who was the president of the united states who promised the american people this would be the most transparent administration in history. >> this is not just a 2016 question. but this is a question for the white house, the white house has repeatedly said we are the most transparent administration in history. they said when they came in the door we're going to do things differently than previous administrations, this is something they have said over and over again. this just does not fit in with that narrative. >> this is a national security issue, china has read all the secretary of state's emails. this is not a secure email system. >> if she's using a gmail account, is it encrypted? beyond the politics of it, it's a actual national security issue. >> she gets to decide those are our emails. not hillary clinton's. >> she's p
