. >> democrats rehashing robert mueller's probe as the latest impeachment hearing as the left considersnking the former special counsel's findings to impeachment charges so can mueller's report resurface in the articles of impeachment. former deputy assistant attorney general in the doj criminal division john malcolm joins us live with his expertise. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. in the marathon hearing yesterday, over 8 hours, the number of times robert mueller was mentioned was 35. the number of times the special counsel was mentioned, 12. is it possible they could go back to this and include it in terms of impeachment? >> absolutely. wouldn't shock me to see them to alleged collusion when robert mueller concluded there was no collusion. anything donald trump has done since he has been in office is fair game and the democrats are going to look at everything. i don't think they necessarily should. i don't think the president has done anything in connection with the mueller probe or the ukrainian scandal that rises to the level of treason, bribery or other high crime or mi

. >> he talked robert mueller, and they spoke about it and it was the most egregious. he was instructed to fire robert mueller and then create a false document to deny that fact. that is clear obstruction of justice. now it is a question by question basis. that is the subject of the justification. it seems fairly likely that there was one based on the obstruction of robert mueller's investigation. >> i want to play you one. >> at the very minimum, we will require votes from all of the senators on each of the witnesses about each set of documents. i don't think my colleagues democrat or republican, are going to want evidence in such a important trial. >> the importance and the significance of getting these witnesses out into the open and out into the american public, the likelihood of that happening with don mcgahn and senate eor schumer. >> on the point about the witnesses and the documents and democrats bringing those during the trial, that is immensely important. they would like i will be acquitted with the republican majority. you have the entire nation watching thi

despite his extensive cooperation with special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation. a judge sentenced rick gates to over a month behind bars nbc's pete williams has the details. >> reporter: the state and government both urged the judge to sentence him only to probation because he cooperated extensively with robert mueller's prosecutors. and the judge was lenient but said gates has to serve 45 days in jail a weekend at a time. he pleaded guilty to hiding millions of dollars anyone come for political consulting from the pro russian government in ukrai ukraine. his former business partner paul manafort is sevening seven years in prison for masterminding that scheme and his lawyers now say manafort has been sent to a prison hospital for treatment of heart problems michael flynn, the former trump national security adviser, will be sentenced next month. then the long-time trump friend roger stone is sentenced in february >> our thanks to pete williams for that report. >>> family, friends, and police officers gathered for an emot n emotional funeral in new jersey. detectiv

he had the authority to fire robert mueller. i encouraged him not to fire him, just appoint a special prosecutor to investigate bob mueller. why in the world he would hire nothing but people that hated him -- he said, can i do that? i said, yeah. the authority of the attorney general to hire and fire a special prosecutor comes from the president. it's his power. and he can do it if he wants to and he's exactly right. article 2 would allow him to fire mueller, which he never did. so when the speaker takes that quote, i can do whatever i want, when he's talking about whether or not he were to fire robert mueller, and try to apply that this is why we have to remove him from office -- that is such a dangerous, dangerous direction to go. it's why i was so saddened to hear that our speaker wants to now move forward with articles of impeachment. as jonathan turly testified before us wednesday, this bar is so low and historically speaking when a governing document like our constitution is degenerated to this point, you don't normally com

one viewer asks can and should the house include obstruction of justice relating to robert mueller's ey, that's the big question facing house democrats this week. now nadler has been out making the argument based on mueller. he said at one point, trump had taken extraordinary steps to obstruct the mueller investigation and the thaukt is that it would be unjust and not right forry if truch got away from this without an article of impeachment. but on the other hand, thr downsides. if they include an article base ed on mueller, you will be expand aing the trial and two, there's a risk that some democrats would vote against a mueller article of impeachment. two suggested to manu that they would do just that. even if they don't include it as an article of impeachment, it will be important context for what happened. july 24th, robert mueller testifies, he says there was foreign interference in the 2016 election. there will likely be in 2020. next day, president trump gets ton phone with zelensky asks hi. >> that timing, that's important to remember there also. we've been talking so much abo

if you look at the example of the fbi lawyer who doctored evidence, he was kicked off robert mueller's team for a series of very bad anti-trump texts and emails he sent to his fbi friends. you have to wonder what his motivation was and you have to wonder why they were exaggerating christopher steele's qualifications, there was no reason to do that. you have to wonder why they had evidence and withheld it. host: if this report is out, will there ever be an s behindion of the why the mistakes or is this a done deal with the release of this report? guest: it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. we may get answers because michael horowitz will go before the senate committee, which is majority republicans led by it will beham, interesting to see what they ask him and what the next steps they take after that. i think everybody is waiting to see what mr. horwitz says before they move forward with whatever they want to do. whatever is going to happen will happen at the senate level because the house is focused on impeachment and controlled by the democrats. they will not call mr.

part of that is a carry over from robert mueller. we're so used to talking about did trump break the law that i think that's how mindset is around it. if you look at the articles of impeachment, you see what they're laying out. they tide both of the articles back to what was alleged or uncoved by robert mueller. both of them also played something we were talking about, which is an appeal to the house as a body of power. so they're trying to reach out and say this isn't even just about donald trump's relationship with the constitution, it's about our collective relationship to the constitution. the second article is specific in saying donald trump is seizing power given to the house. and the first one is similarly framed t framed same way. it's about his treatment of the constitution and the powers allotted him. >> we have to talk about what the weaknesses are in being in this all-in strategy republicans are in. we're getting a better idea of what's going to happen when the house likely kicks this to the senate if they vote to impeach

he was the former counsel to robert mueller at the fbi when robert mueller was fbi director.th." and john heilemann is back with us to join the discussion. chuck, your reaction to what you heard the attorney general say today in that interview. >> lawrence, i'm mystified. let me tell you why. first let me back up a bit and let me tell you what the inspector general found because the top findings by the specter general are really important to understanding what the attorney general said. the inspector general found first there was no political bias, no improper motive in the fbi's investigation of russian investigation into election interference nor in their opening the case. and with respect to opening the case that the predication was proper. predication is sort of a fancy and legal word. what it means is basically this. an fbi agent cannot open a case based on a hunch or suspicion or a fevered dream or because he doesn't like her next door neighbor. she needs some quantum of proof, she needs some evidence. a threshold, and we call that predication. and the inspector general

their arms is going to change those basic facts. >> greg miller, i want to go back to a piece of robert mueller'sonclusions here on the trump/russia coordination or connection or shared objectives. mueller report says this. the investigation established that a russian -- that the russian government perceived it would benefit from a trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome and that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from the information stolen from russian efforts. i don't know how else to say this, and i won't ask you to weigh in on it, but it seems like a pretty wide-scale failure to communicate that conclusion if we have everyone sort of shrugging or digging into their partisan camps on the question of ongoing foreign interference in the context of impeachment. do you, in sort of covering this national security piece of the political climate in washington, do you see any cracks in that hardened partisanship around these questions of russian interference or ukraine being a victim of being accused of doing something that everyone who's looking at the facts knows russia d

. >> you know, no aspect of any indictment that robert mueller brought depends on the steele dossier. and no aspect of any indictment that robert mueller brought depends on the surveillance of carter page. and so, you know, i don't want to diminish the ig's findings or be dismissive of the ig's findings on the fisa material because, frankly, they're very upsetting. and this is not the way the process should work. but it is not a basis to discredit the work that robert mueller did or the substance of the presence in the 2016 election. these are threads of the investigation that the larger stream did not depend on at all. >> important context. i'm glad you put it in there. pete williams. ben wittes, thank you. it's pretty clear the fbi and some others are treating fisa applications as if they're any other government bureaucrat's paperwork and that is, clearly, is a problem. it's too loose. anyway, thank you both. >>> up ahead, much more on today's testimony from the department of justice's inspector general. what impact could it have on the impeachment inquiry? i'll ask democratic senat

that and that conspiracy theory has died and was killed in fact by robert mueller.nd that's the steering information of the public and informational. people like that could be contrite and maybe even humbled after the mueller report came out and proved to years of hyperventilation wrong. but no. they are more obsessed with russia than they have ever been. chuck todd went full joe mccarthy yesterday. >> the fact that russia was so aggressive did not exclude the fact that president poroschenko actively worked for secretary clinton. now if i'm wrong -- my goodness. senator kennedy, you now have the president of the ukraine saying he actively worked for the democratic senator. you realize the only other person settling this argument outside of the united states is this man, vladimir putin. >> tucker: vladimir putin. are you now or have you ever been upon a vladimir putin? you would think -- they would say things like that out loud but of course they never do. not only are these people unwise and hysterical, they are also kind of dumb. and because shifting mental gears i

so we were put robert mueller on the stand. and 30 seconds somebody please ask him if he has actually read the report that bears his name. [laughter] so this whole set up you realize it was all a sham. he was there not because he was a great prosecutor or a great investigator but because of his prior and passed and the decorated marine former head of fbi. he was above reproach he wasn't there because he was good at his job but because trump could not fight back without the media have a field day. that's what we see today version number two with the impeachment. the outrage of last week and i am at the center of all of this for some reason. i got that trumpet jean if i see something wrong i will say it. donald trump junior outs the whistleblower. i did? [laughter] i wish i did. but they make it seem like i hired a team of spies to figure out a cia operative? i retreat on - - retweeted an article that had his name in the article. then they don't know what secret actually means. it was literally on the drudge report but many peopl

example of an fbi lawyer who doctored evidence in the carter page fisa, he was kicked off of robert mueller's team for a series of very bad into trump e-mails that he said around to his fbi friends. so you have to wonder what his motivation was. you have to wonder why they were exaggerating the qualifications when it went to the fisa court. there's no reason to do that. you have to wonder why they had evident andid withheld. >> but there's no other explanation. >> if this report is out already, will the be an examination as the why behind the actual mistakes, or is it ai done deal? >> it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow, we may get answers because he was going to go before the senateae judiciary committee which is a majority republican and led by lindsey graham who i just reference. it be interesting to see what and what the next steps they take after that. everybody is waiting to see what mr. horowitz says before the senate judiciary committee and before they move forward with whatever they want to do. whatever is going to happen is going to happen at the senate level because

his nearly seven-hour testimony, of robert mueller, did not. then a whistle-blower complaint that trump urged the ukrainian president to investigate joe biden and his son hunter in exchange for nearly $400 million in u.s. military aid. >> that call was perfect. >> reporter: moderate how democrats resisted impeachment changed their minds and called for an inquiry. an equally reluctant house speaker announced the house would do just that. >> the actions take ton date by the president has seriously violated the constitution. >> reporter: a day later, the white house released a rough transcript of that july conversation. in it was what democrats would focus their impeachment inquiry on, an apparent quid pro quo. the impeachment inquiry would make its way through the house intelligence committee with closed-door witness testimonies followed by several days of notable public testimony. >> was there a quid pro quo? as i testified previously, with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting, the answer is, yes. >> reporter: for

we have not had hearings, we robert mueller for one day, but not a hearing on obstruction charges. we have not seen on those charges. so there's not a lot of evidence that's beyond the paper. right now. so and second of all, i think also it's really important in my view this we keep this focused on 2020 election and we not be looking backwards. even though donald trump did engage in b obstruction of justice. to me now k just part of the narrative of harm here. >> because i keep thinking back since this debate is going on, what nancy pelosi said yesterday. ukraine is the vehicle all roads continue to lead to russia and that is really where she is. that can, i will say, she eloquently made it vague enough looking back or looking forward. i will just say that. but then what are the ramifications today, what are the ramifications of a white house not sending over or facing this deadline. not sending any counsel, any representation? what does it change? >> nothing. it's a symbolic protest and reminds us that the white house has been and remains unwilling to engage on the merit of the ch

. >> one other point robert mueller who spent two years investigating the whole business, the russian ignored all this. he did not look at it and he did not report on it. or he did and said i don't want to tell anybody. how can he do that? >> that's a question that will remain unanswered. it's a good question because let's recall carter page was a perfluoro figure and the trump campaign and he in the fisa investigation is a link in the russian collision narrative and that he built out of him and it should've been cleared as all the information came out in late 2016 that the original fisa application in the russian collision narrative was very, very weak. yet the country was exposed to it for two long years in robert mueller in his investigation had to see it was going nowhere. >> still ahead seven candidates square off in los angeles with over six weeks to go until the first votes are cast until the presidential candidate race. we will look how is shaping up only comeonmu back. only pay for what you need... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ doprevagen

that can include robert mueller's findings of obstruction of justice.'re hearing how frustrated some of the moderate democrats are getting about that. what are the potential risk fsz the democrats do expand the scope of impeachment beyond just ukraine. >> the potential risk for democrats in general, is that it backfires politically and gets them in trouble in trump-leaning districts. there's a remedy. we know that from the clinton impeachment in 1998. here is how you give some people at least some cover. that is you put in clinton congress had four articles of impeachment that were voted on, two actually went to the senate. that means there will be, if the mueller-related articles of impeachment are put out there, they could easily be voted down and that gives cover to the moderates that you're talking about. i would not be surprised if that strategy surfaces in the coming days. >> do you think that will be successful. do you think that mueller's findings will be included? >> it's possible because if you're looking at the whole story, if there is an obs

so to recap, one day after robert mueller testifies on the russia investigation, the president makes a call that launches the ukraine shakedown. and now on the very day the judiciary committee votes to approve articles of impeachment, the president has rudy giuliani come to the white house to report on his efforts to double down on the investigations in ukraine. seeing a pattern here? a president emboldened every time he breaks the rules and gets away with it. a president facing the looming prospect of impeachment before christmas. but john dean says the house shouldn't hand off to the senate just yet. he's here to discuss along with susan glasser, next. i must admit. i had a few good tricks to help hide my bladder leak pad. like the old "tunic tug". you know it, right? but i don't have to, with always discreet. i couldn't believe the difference. it's less bulky. and it really protects. watch this. the super absorbent core turns liquid and odor to gel, and locks it away. so i have nothing to hide. always discreet. for bladder leaks. >>> the house judiciary committee voting today to a

sobre la investigaciÓn de concluyÓ en el reporte especial de robert mueller, concluyÓ que el fbi tenÍamuy padre estar aquÍ, desde chiquita visitaba navidad en el parque. gracias a dios tuve la oportunidad de estar aquÍ y compartir con nuestra comunidad. hay mucha gente latina. reportera: familias con sus hijos y sus mascotas disfrutan durante la temporada decembrina del espÍritu navideÑo y del entretenimiento gratuito cada noche. >> me gustan mucho las decoraciones de los Árboles, la paz que se siente, la armonÍacon tanto latino. se siente mucho el sabor mexicano. marÍa: parte del entretenimiento en navidad en el parque es subir a la rueda de la fortuna, desde donde podrÁn ver san josÉ desde las alturas. para este voluntario, originario de mÉxico, esta parque refleja la diversidad cultural de san josÉ y es lo que mÁs le gusta. >> el intercambio de culturas, porque cada dÍa en el escenario se presentaun evento diferente. ha habido colombianos, americanos, mexicanos. veo que la gente se mezcla y me parece bien. >> yo llevo unos 30 aÑosviniendo a esta navidad en el parque. para mÍ es algo

of fisa and inplicablehavior. >> a former counsel to robert mueller at the fbi when he was fbi can directorh." and john is back with us to join the discussion. chuck, your reaction to hot ywh heard the attorney general say. >> let me back up and tell you what the inspector general found. the inspector general found first that there was no improperer motive in the fbi's investigation of russian interference. and with respect to opening the case, the predication was proper. that's a fancy legal word. what it means is this. an fbi agent cannot open a case based on a hunch or suspicion or a fevered dream or because she doesn't like her next door neighbor. she needs evidence. a threshhold. and inspector general found that they absolutely had predication to open this case. so for the attorney general to say the inspector general was wrong and the fbi acted improperly or didn't have a thresh hold of evidence is completely false. that's not what the inspector general found. and the attorney general offered absolutely no evidence other than saying so to rebut the inspector general's findings. it's m

they're going to go back to robert mueller and dredge up that old corpse of a report? >> they are admitting they don't have anything, they were admitting that there was a quid pro quo, then they focus group and came up with the word bribery. they haven't come up with anything. it's been 70 days and speaker pelosi started us on this nightmare. had she waited 48 hours, we would never be here. >> laura: giver pull her aside and do you ever have a moment, come on? i want to think you guys can all talk. i've made mistakes. can you give her an off-ramp? anything you can give her? >> if she could just stop this -- you know what she should do? she should take her own quote of march that impeachment would divide the country so there has to be overwhelming, compelling, and bipartisan. that was her criteria for them to move forward. bipartisan. >> laura: if they want to know what desperation is and how bad it is out there, watch this. >> democrats shouldn't have to make people care. half the country used to care about people that broke laws. half the country used to care about pe

. >> one other point robert mueller who spent two years investigating the whole business, the russiand not look at it and he did not report on it. or he did and said i don't want to tell anybody. how can he do that? >> that's a question that will remain unanswered. it's a good question because let's recall carter page was a perfluoro figure and the trump campaign and he in the fisa investigation is a link in the russian collision narrative and that he built out of him and it should've been cleared as all the information came out in late 2016 that the original fisa application in the russian collision narrative was very, very weak. yet the country was exposed to it for two long years in robert mueller in his investigation had to see it was going nowhere. >> still ahead seven candidates >> still ahead seven candidates square off in los angeles (thud) (crash) (grunting) (whistle) play it cool and escape heartburn fast with tums chewy bites cooling sensation. ♪ tum tu-tu-tum tums >> the democrats held the sixth and final presidential debate of the year on thursday night was seven of the 2

>> it sounds an awful lot like what he did to robert mueller, when robert mueller came out with his report he disagrees with the outcome. the inspector general is independent and is permitted to submit and publish his report as is. but the other thing that's occurring at the same time in parallel is the criminal investigation that john durham, u.s. attorney in connecticut, has been running. william barr could allow this inspector general report out there but could continue to persist with criminal charges against people in the justice department if he believes misconduct arose to that level. >> and matt, the inspector general is highly regarded, has served in several administrations, correct? >> right. >> what would be the impact if william barr does go public and tries to hold a news conference or issue a dissenting report? or some kind of opposing point of view. >> it would be a stunning move by the attorney general that would further undermine the confidence that the people at the department of justice have in him, whether he serves the department of justice or whether he serves the pre

paul: we already know from robert mueller report what mcgahn probably knows, let's move time peachment to the impeachment next week. >> no doubt in my mind at all. i think there are democrats like nancy pelosi and professional democrats including the presidential candidates who wonder whether this was a good idea. like a ballistic missile. fired it off and it will hit donald trump with the impeachment. [laughter] >> a lot of democrats are counting heads now and are wondering how many house democrats will vote against this impeachment because the case hasn't been made and they're going to be running in districts that were formerly held by republicans and some are beginning to suggest that maybe this was a bad idea which means they are just not going to get the votes that they thought they did. paul: do you think they have some of those regrets, alyssia, some of them? >> i don't think more than a handful will vote against impeachment, a lot under pressure from the progressive base on their party and facing primary challenges, i know especially in new york and in california, i mean, you s

willingness to take official action to stop trump a bias that was so serious, special counsel robert mueller had to fire peter strzok from the russia probe. thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth mccdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. liz: welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. we hope you had a good thanksgiving. while democrats in washington begin phase two of their impeachment sprint the president is in london meeting with nato leaders. we have every angle covered for you. our own blake burman is in london. fox news's chad pergram is on capitol hill. kick it off with blake traveling with the president. blake. reporter: hi, there, liz. president trump and the first lady landed here in london in the past hour. two days of upcoming events and meetings to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the nato alliance. tomorrow the president and other world leaders from nato member nations will head to buckingham palace for a gathering there hosted by the queen. the president will also be meeting, having one-on-one meetings with the german chancellor angela merkel and

bring in this group instead of the fbi and the fbi goes to shawn henry, who used to work for robert mueller, we've got some serious, serious problems here. william barr says he is going to get his arms around this. this goes to the atlantic council, this goes to the state department under hillary, where we did not have a confirmed inspector general -- this is far deeper than what you are talking about. nothing has been debunked. guest: everything has been debunked. > it is not crowdstrike. crowdstrike is a private company that in fact has just been hired by the republican congressional campaign committee to work for them. a perfectly respectable company. it was the one that first uncovered the fact that the russians were hacking democratic sources and disseminating this detrimental information. who has confirmed it? 17 intelligence agencies. the mueller investigation. the bipartisan report of republicans and democrats in the united states senate have all confirmed it was russia, not the democrats or the ukrainians. as i have explained, it makes absolutely no sense for the democrats to be ha

watch this. >> i don't think robert mueller will want to have the dramatic flair of ides of march whenwill be his indictments, final indictments as well as the report that he gives to the attorney general. >> you think if anybody from the trump family, extended family will be indicted it would be in the final act of mueller's investigation because bob mueller, his team knows if he were to do something, indicting a trump family member, or if he were to go forward with indictment on criminal conspiracy involving u.s. persons, that would basically be the death knell of the special counsel's office. liz: okay. so we've got the intercepts glen greenwald, matt taibbi of "rolling stone" saying this is embarrassing. the that the media hires intelligence officials shape on the public narrative, when they are wrote trained to lie. where are evidence for claims made on the media? where is the pushback from the media? where is their watchdog roll, guys, where is your evidence? seems that the watchdog role for the media failed? >> it absolutely failed. so much of this narrative was pedaled by forme
