look at rod rosenstein. >> as soon as you rip the bandaid off, get on with the business of president being in office. he can't function. he recused himself out of the most important thing he has to do. there is systemic problem there. he has got to be able to do it. but he can't. brian: russia related. >> when gowdy and goodlatte sent to the attorney making the request, they addressed it to the attorney general and the deputy attorney general. that never happens. it is acknowledgement that rod rosenstein is really running the place and attorney general sessions is there in name only. steve: something happens in

rod rosenstein is already first in the succession. he has already made this public commitment that he will not fire robert mueller unless there is good cause to do so. well, if the president fires rod rosenstein, though, the line of succession would go from him to the assistant attorney general for the office of legal counsel and then to the head of the national security division at the justice department and then it would go to two specific u.s. attorneys, first, the u.s. attorney in the eastern district of north carolina who is bobby higdon and aaron cox, no relation to archer cox, although i should check. these nine senators wrote to the whole line of succession. at the saturday night massacre, you had to go through three. this is written to all five, rosenstein, francisco, engel, demerce, higdon, cox. and this is what he said: in this case it's written to all five below rosenstein, francisco, higdon, cox. we have significant concerns he could order the authority to interfere with the probe or shut it down. you fall in the line of

it is worth noting that the man above the doj in the oversight position now, rod rosenstein made that promise so it wouldn't be weird if other officials followed in his footsteps and did so, as well. we'll have to wait over the next few days to see if they think they ought to make this kind of promise. very interesting. imagine being in their shoes right now knowing the history and the way the president talked about special counsel and railed against the attorney general for recruiting himself and against rod rosenstein and the way he railed against mueller, knowing the history of the saturday night massacre, knowing how richardson is viewed in history versus how robert boric is viewed in history because he said yeah, i'll fire him. imagine being a justice department official facing that letter. should i make the promise? other thing i'm curious about is why senators pefelt compelled t send these letters requesting this promise. i am interested in that particularly because only about 90 minutes before this letter went out tonight, we also out of the blue got this. right before that le

if rod rosenstein had his way, we wouldn't know about any of these scandals.ple now need to be held accountable. this is why people like, oh, grassley and tillis and cornyn and graham are demanding as we have been demanding for a year a second special counsel to investigate the investigators. they can't investigate themselves. as for that very important context, we learned that strzok and judge contreras were friends and that judge contreras oversaw the flynn case which after he accepted the case was a mystery. why did he recuse himself? now, we still don't know the exact reason why, but this could have something to do with it. we also know that peter strzok was the fbi agent. he oversaw the january 2017 white house interview of lieutenant general flynn and here's what we really need more information on, strzok is the former fbi counter intelligence official who signed the paperwork to start the entire russia investigation. and as these new text messages revealed, judge contreras was on the fisa court. and sources have been telling us that judge contreras may

i take him at his word, peter, when when he says only for cause and that he, rod rosenstein has seen no cause whatsoever. by the way, that shouldn't surprise us because i also had the privilege of working with with and for bob mueller. this is a man that does stuff by the book. so, the notion that he's going to trip or stumble or do something that gives rod rosenstein cause is crazy. >> so is it possible shall -- we know jeff sessions recuse himself, his original sin in the relationship with the president right now. that's why the president calls his beleaguered and whatever else the last several months. is it possible rod rosenstein has privately recused himself not so much to the russia portion but the obstruction of justice portion in this case? and we wouldn't even know it, is that a possibility? >> i guess it's a possibility. but we would see some sign of someone else making decisions. >> how would we see is that? what should we be looking for? >> it's not clear too me he has recused himself. let me start with that premise, peter. there's been some concern rod might be a witness

the best job security that jeff sessions has right now is rod rosenstein. if jeff sessions were to be fired or quit, rod rosenstein would become the acting attorney general. you can bet, shep, that democrats would slow-walk any attempt by the president to nominate somebody to replace jeff sessions and install his own political leadership at the department of justice. if the democrats got rosenstein as attorney general, even acting, they would have a field day. >> shepard: slow walk like the beltway in morning rush. >> worse than that. >> shepard: hardly moving at all. john roberts, you're the man. more on the up's tariffs announcements and concerns over a trade war. let's go to gerri willis. we don't know what will happen. we know what the president said. sometimes very often history will show and the facts are that the president says something and then none of it ever happens. that's possible, too. >> let me tell you what is true this afternoon, the dow is down about 230 points. as i see it here on my thompson financial. there it is, 226. that's a real thi

he went to dinner with rod rosenstein in public. rod rosenstein oversees the special counsel. bob mueller can't do anything without the blessing of rod rosenstein, and rod rosenstein is doing things the president doesn't like. there was a cartoon back in the day called mr. magoo. you can find it on the internet if you want. behind the scenes, the president referred to the attorney general as mr. magoo. he has hired the best his entire life but is stuck with sessions, who is not defending him and is not sufficiently loyal. the attorney general is supposed to be loyal to the president, not the facts or constitution. >> and there's a reason why all the president's aides have tried to keep jeff sessions from quitting. reince priebus, former chief of staff, on the order said, i practically pulled jeff sessions back into the white house to prevent him from resigning, because everybody knows if he fired sessions, it would cause a catastrophic effect on his presidency. the hill has made it very clear they do not want to confirm anybody else for that position. it would be probably, i t

it is clear why rod rosenstein did this.is part of a year long pattern of obstruction and stone walling and noncom mriance and congress' effort and constitutional duty to investigate and oversee the actions of the doj. it is call would check and balances. and think about this for a second. if rod rosen stein had his way we would not know about the scandals. people need to be held accountable. and people like grassly and pills and cornyn and graham are demanding as we have demanded a second special counsel to investigate the investigators. they can't investigate themselves. as for the important context. we learned that strok and contrarez was friends and the judge after he accepted the plea it was a mystery. why did he then recuse himself? we don't know the reason why, but it could have something to do with it. and peter strzok was an fbi agent and over saw the january 17th white house intruf general flynn. and strzok is the former fbi counter intelligence official that started the russian investigation and judge contrarez. a

and the idea that simply saying that rod rosenstein should drop the investigation is ridiculous.obody believes that's going to happen. but yet it decrcreates a whole of chatter and discussion to divert everybody away from a scandal that is really start in to hurt this administration. >> equally ridiculous was the fact that it was breaking news that mueller subpoenaed the trump organization. because it is not breaking news. it is just the appropriate steps that a prosecutor takes. listen, you don't just call up the other lawyer and say dude, can you send me the docs, please? you have to document. >> it wasn't -- >> it's the appropriate steps. >> did the issue of the other pending lawsuit, the stormy daniels lawsuit, come up in your conversations with dowd? >> it did not. one thing i can tell you, that i can break on air, i've been e-mailing with john dowd back and forth this morning. he just e-mailed that he hopes i will share with you all he was speaking in his personal capacity and not speaking on behalf of the president. >> what did he say to you before? >> i asked him are you

rod rosenstein was a career federal prosecutor, not a political guy. he was a member of the federalist society, but not somebody who is ever seen as a political activist. he is the person in charge of the day to day activities of the entire justice department, along with the mueller probe. and on and on. the people who we see who are in the very highest levels of law enforcement, despite the president's best efforts, are not close, loyal allies of the president. chris wray over at the fbi, despite the fact that he worked with chris christie, is close, is sort of in the same broad social circles, in the same world as james comey, andy mccabe and bob mueller. if the president wanted a justice department that would sort of indicator to his whims, he is not getting it. >> i will note he did get his way on andrew mccabe. >> that's true. >> after berating him for over a year. betsy woodruff and harry litman, thank you for being here. >> sure thing. >> thanks, chris. >>> next, incredible new charges against the company that ran president trump's data operatio

he was seen with rod rosenstein and the solicitor general. how do you interpret that? >> i think the president uses him as somewhat of a punching bag and distraction. there is all of this news over here. the reason he's upset with jeff sessions is because, one, he's frustrated with this russia investigation which they are recused from. and, two, he won't open up new one for political he opponents, including former secretary of state. jeff sessions stood his ground. i thought it was actually really good. he was seen dining with rod rosenstein who put out indictments on the 13 -- i'm sorry. made a statement about the russian hacking that it did occur. he said, look, i'm tkpog to do my job. if the president wants to fire me, i'm willing to stake the job that i have always wanted on it. john kelly, by the way, is doing the same thing with jared kushner. >> how so? >> he is basically saying i'm in charge here. he makes him do staff updates that shows he's in charge. he's limited access to ivanka in limited order. and took away his security clearance. he was thoroughly dimin

then rod rosenstein, like comey, he signed off on one or more of these fisa renewal applications. it is one massive, huge deepte state conflict of interest afte. another. they are protecting themselves, they are trying to preserve their own power. we cannot allow this to happen if we want law and order to remain in this country. if we want to be a constitutional republic. we've got to investigate the investigators. we've got to literally drain the swamp on the sewer. that bringsri us to our special investigation. who is robert mueller? everybody says he's the greatest guy in the whole world. just trust us. members of congress, the mainstream media, they've been trying to convince you the special counsel, he is beyond reproach. sort of like climate change.oa oh, nobody disagrees with us, no scientist does. that is not true either. mueller is the utmost man of integrity. we've been doingin some digging and we found some things you need to know about and tonight we will tell you who robert mueller really is. there's a brand-new report from investigative reporter sara carter. robert m

this makes it sound like someone has launched a missile perhaps justice department and rod rosenstein directly against the trum presidentrump presidency. >> one thing we're seeing right now is fact thatry have interviewed 73 witnesses. you know some really months and months and months are investigating this, we found no collusion, so, chairman nunes has done a great job, he was right to call into this probe. but, interesting thing is when mueller was given the direct, not just to lock at collusion, they were ambiguous on other related matters that essentially allows him to be more unguided. maybe he is not an unguided missile, but he is able to look at a number of other areas that go beyond collusion, i can tell you my voters back home, your viewers and listens, want us to get to end of this and get serious about president trump agenda, the time is now to to that. lou: i could not agree more. stunning to me that language he used, unguided missile, he is not. suggesting that he on a course trying to destroy the trump presidency, that is only inference that possible. you cannot make bob

he's buddies with rod rosenstein. he cannot be invested to investigate scandals that his friends are involved in. comey is at the center as it relates to the clinton e-mail fix. rigging the investigation. comey said the clinton dossier was salacious. he said that in january 2017 to president-elect trump at trump tower. in october, 2016, he was using that same dossier, the one he said in january of 2017 is unverified and salacious to get the warrant to spy on trump associate carter page and hence the trump campaign. then rod rosenstein, like comey, he signed off on one or more of these fisa renewal applications. it's one massive huge deep state conflict of interest after another. they're protecting themselves. they're trying to preserve their own power. we cannot allow this to happen if we want law and order to reign in this country. we have to investigate the investigators. we have to literally drain the swamp and the sewer. that brings us to our special investigation. who is robert mueller? everybody says he's the gr

they include rod rosenstein, who at the time was u.s. attorney in maryland. they didn't get rid of him. he ended up becoming the number two official in the justice department, he is the direct supervisor of the robert mueller special counsel investigation and therefore rod rosenstein has been publicly attacked by the president of the united states. there was also dana boente. he became head of the national security division at the justice department and then mysteriously dana boente was fired. that still remains a mysterious t turn of events. if you have any information that can explain what happened to dana boente after they put him in this series of high fall utili alutin jobs. www.sendititrachel.com. and you should also know there's this man, his name is john w. huber, one of the handful of u.s. everyone tos who wasn't fired. he was u.s. attorney in utah when trump took office and he still has that job to this day, u.s. attorney for utah. like dana boente and rod rosenstein, he is basically a respected, fairly noncontroversial, definitely non-high profile

rod rosenstein is who picked bob mueller. give him the time, the resources, the independence to do his job and when you are innocent, if theal lee gas the e innocent of collusion with the russians, act like it. >> chris: if i may, sir, again, this seems to be a concerted effort by the president 57bd his lawyer to go after -- and is lawyer to go after the mueller investigation. if they try to shut it down, what will you and other republicans in congress do? >> well, i'm not sure the house could do a lot. we don't haved advice and consent. i think the president will have a difficult time nominating and having approved another attorney general. it's going to be a -- i would just counsel the president, it's going to be a very, very long, bad 2018 and it's going to be distracting from other things that he wants to do and was elected to do. let it play out its course. if you've done nothing wrong, you should want the investigation to be as ful fulse and thorough as possible. >> chris: andrew mccabe, who was fired late friday night,

there is rod rosenstein, there is dana boente and john w. hubert. unlike almost every other federal prosecutor, he still has that job to the day. u.s. attorney from utah. he's a respected, non-high profile career professional and he's about to have his time in the spotlight, as well. jeff sessions last year made a very high profile and consequential announcement about recusa recusal. not long after he was confirmed as attorney general, it was discovered that he had not told the truth during his confirmation hearings about contacts with the russian government during the time he worked on the trump campaign after issuing fierce blanket denials, jeff sessions had to concede that yes, he had had those contacts and basically had lied about them. a lot of people expected at that point he would have to step down as attorney general but instead, what he did was he announced a broad recusealrecusal. he would stay as attorney general but recuse himself and pledge to not involve himself with anything at the justice deputy or fbi that related to the 2016 campai

and i've never seen noel francisco and rod rosenstein in the same place before so to be with jeff sessions and corner table someone take our picture, i doubt it's a coincidence. >> right in the middle of one of the moments where donald trump is once again attacking his own attorney general. >> a little show of force on the part of the justice department. who knows maybe they do it every wednesday. >> that's what it looks like. thank you, rachel. well, the white liar is out. hope hicks, who told the house intelligence committee that she has told white lies for the president of the united states is leaving her job at the white boyfriend after those accusations of domestic violence became public. she fought to save her boyfriend's job inside the white house. and because the trump white house is filled with bad judgment, john kelly joined her in that fight to save rob porter's job. a fight they lost. and hope hicks whose job it is to make the white house look good, made the white house look completely out of control and unsympathetic to the two abused wives of rob porter. and that was an accur

on collective leadership so what he does will be rod to these purple icing in the sense that as we all know when power is highly concentrated in the high hands of one person this is the step alighting long term leadership not good for many countries and not good for china i should imagine. i believe so because this intention to concentrate power in the hands of one person discourage deliberations open discussions of policies. the leader himself will certainly discourage and the potential emergence of other leaders who may be in a position to challenge him and there will be less. checks and balances more and more tolerant of criticisms well that polygamy leader they worried do think of this super draft agency which has extensive powers to investigate and detain any state employees. yes. the national's supervision commission follows the example of the national security commission created two or three years ago. one cannot criticize for concentrating power in the hands of one organ. corruption it will probably improve coordination but unfortunately we know that can be investigation of cor

the story and those facts do not match what rod rosen scenes comic rod rosen scenes rob rosenstein.ody should take a look. we are talking about being tough on russia. sevenn years ago, we gave the boat away on the uranium and we did it knowing that the russians were engaged in criminal activityr on our soil compromising our national security. that's what doug campbell story is all about. >> sean: we know that about russia and we know that hillary paid for a phony dossier with russian sources by a foreign national. it seems like with no russia collusion or evidence i've seen. maybe you have seen some. i haven't. all fingers point back to the left, the democrats over this. >> laura: you hear democrats the last few weeks saying president trump has not been tough enough on russia. we've got to get tougher. they are bad actors. but on their watch with their president, president obama was secretary clinton, we give away some of the biggest, most valuable decisions in their uranium industry ever given to russia. from the cold war on, we have these restrictions. barack obama relisted them.

if i was james comey, andrew mccabe, sally yates tonight, rod rhodes rosenstein, strzok,, i'd be very based on the possibility that all of it is coming out right if we had an honest inspector general, i am thinking about some of them might be in legal jeopardy in a big way. >>>> let me tell you about the inspector general.l. here is what i believe. they have a job to do. this is part of the job that they should be doing. i believe that mr. horwitz, from everything i hear, he's an honorable man and he will do his job. remember, there is a lot of pressures that come with that because the inspector general ultimately, his boss is the department of justice. this is not a simple move for the inspector general to make, to go after the top people in the fbi. is why i think i am glad that mr. horowitz is going to continue to look into this. but i also have a lot of concerns about that there's no one is looking into this. how are you going tos have masr comey testify to the inspector general? is not goingte to sit for an interview and neither is mr. mccabe. >> sean: we need a special counsel a
