he had already been briefed by rod rosenstein. going to take this in and arm himself with it to prepare for the putin meeting, it doesn't seem, so far, at least, that he has. >> no, that's right, andrea. look, if this is a witch hunt, it's a remarkably successful one. it seems like there are 12 more witches that we now know about. one of the key things that rod rosenstein said today is this investigation is ongoing. that was his word, not mine. that shouldn't surprise us. what we continue to see time after time is bob mueller and the fbi agents and prosecutors working with him, acting in an extraordinarily professional manner. quietly, diligently, and methodically uncovering facts and bringing cases when those facts dictate. another shoe has dropped today. there are more to drop, i can almost assure you. i don't believe that is rank speculation. this indictment itself makes reference to u.s. persons who were in contact with the russians. it doesn't name those persons. it doesn't say that the u.s. persons did anything wrong. but th

yet rod rosenstein is the key person sitting in that position. and if the speaker and kevin mccarthy want to say no, that's too extreme. then what's their game plan to actually allow congress to do its oversight duty. lou: rosenstein it seems is both an actor and potentially the target of any information. he signed one of the four fisa warrants. he is the man who selected robert mueller. he is the guy pulling the trigger on the special counsel and yet he is involved in so many aspects and elements of this case. this witch hunt. it's extraordinary. >> one part of the case to impeach rod rosenstein is thed yz that he would not comply with duly issued subpoenas. the second part is exactly what you're talking about. did they misuse a fisa warrant. did they mislead the court. and there's an investigation, not only by the inspector general but by congress. and it just begs the question, how is it that rod rosenstein, who signs his name on that document, gets to be in charge of that investigation? i mean -- lou: when we look at the conflicts surrounding

do i support impeachment of rod rosenstein? no, i do not. we should not be cavalier with this process or this term, number one, number two i do not think that this rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. its high standard. >> out of the articles of impeachment, if you put the withheld documents to one side, is this allegation that rod rosenstein has a conflict of interest? people have discussed this privately on capitol hill, but with the release of the fisa documents last week even though they are heavily redacted, you can see rod rosenstein's signature on the last renewal in june 2017, and we are investigating abuse, but you signed off on the warrant. so there you have a conflict. >> harris: that is an interesting point, 412 pages, heavily redacted, but the signature is not. catherine herridge, thank you very much. i want to bring in matt gates now, a cosponsor of that resolution to impeach rod rosenstein, first of all, was the house speaker, did i hear him? was he calling the effort cavalier compared to what it should be? >> i

rod rosenstein today.

rod rosenstein never contacted her. >> sean: he is the same rod rosenstein that begged before the nunesemo, begged paul ryan don't release this up until the final hours. >> yes, the same. this is even more interesting because this week, this week, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, mark warner, all sent a letter, sent a letter to dan coats asking not to reprimand him to release information to the house intelligence committee, their own committee. so they don't even want the information. >> sean: there is something there. just like rod rosenstein signing the fourth fisa warrant. they don't want to release especially 19 pages if my memory serves me well. >> absolutely. >> sean: go to gregg jarrett. get your reaction to this. obviously, and with so much other stuff happening here today. including the indictment of 19 people which devin nunes warned us about in 2014. this was under obama's watch. we still don't know who hacked into hillary's e-mail server and what methods and the sources were compromised there. >> you know it's not really the bombshell that the media seems to be proclaiming. and

but they want to impeach rod rosenstein on documents. it's just -- it's a joke. >> you mentioned that the house speaker addressed this. listen to what paul ryan had to say about conservatives in his caucus. >> do i support impeachment of rod rosenstein? no, i do not. since i've been involved, i've been getting a lot of compliance from doj on the document requests. we do not have full compliance, and we have to get full compliance. but we've been making tremendous progress to that point. >> congressman jeffries, let's going back -- let's go back to the hearing where the deputy attorney general testified. this came up, he defended himself, defended his department vid video sis -- vociferously. how out-of-step was it with paul ryan and the rest of the republican party? >> he's trying to distract from the ongoing serious criminal investigation into the trump campaign and try and create this fantasy and fiction and fallacy that this legitimate investigation is a witch hunt. what perplexes me about that whole argument is that every single pers

and the last one, rod rosenstein signed.> sandra: alan dershowitz is a harvard law professor and author of "the case against impeaching trump," he joins us now. thank you for your time this morning. first off, can you tell us exactly what this means. republicans have been warning this would happen for quite some time. now, they are actually acting on it. what does that mean? >> it is the most shortsighted, and i have to say stupid thing i have heard in a long time. here we have a present to the democrats are trying to impeach. if they gained the house of representatives, they will almost certainly do so. and the big issue will be can you impeach a president and anyone else when you don't charge him with specific crimes, just because you disagree with what he has done. and now, you have the republicans making the case for the democrats who want to impeach the president by offering bills of impeachment and not charging crimes. i'm going to have to write a new book called "the case against impeaching rod rosenstein." the same a

rod rosenstein was confirmed by this body by a vote of 94 to 6.t's probably the only trump nomination so far since he's been president that has enjoyed such broad bipartisan support and because of his distinguished record. >> shepard: that video is an ad from bill crystal, the editor of the conservative weekly standard and others. it does not include any of the republicans supporting the republicans impeaching rosenstein. and i might undermine the musical underbed was not of our making. catherine herridge is live in the washington newsroom. >> i wondered about the music. the articles of impeachment call out the deputy attorney general and say that rod rosenstein has a conflict of interest because he signed off on the final surveillance warrant for renewal in june 2017. the articles of impeachment read his conduct in authorizing the fisa surveillance at issue in the joint congressional investigation makes him a fact witness. this contusions dereliction of duty. this morning a republican part of the freedom caucus that filed the articles of i'm move

because of rod rosenstein.er thing rod rosenstein is conflicted upon, he is the subject of an investigation into the fisa abuse. did the department of justice spy on the trump campaign? and there is a lot of smoke there. rod rosenstein signed one of the documents. so if you are overseeing an investigation, and you're the subject of an investigation, shouldn't you recuse yourself? jeff sessions recused himself of pretty much everything except going to talking to high school students yesterday. and so you have rod rosenstein, whose autograph is on the very document. how do you oversee an investigation where you're beneficiary of the results? trish: what do you think, give us insight into the upcoming book. what do you think his role in all of this is? do you think he is deliberately hiding it? >> i don't think they respect congress's ability to see the information. that is why they don't want to give it up. trish: because of republican-controlled house. >> jim jordan pointed this out several times. many of those

rod rosenstein. rod rosenstein said they were able to hack into a number of different systems.elated to board elections. as was the company that handles election software. the deputy attorney general said that some information was taken out of this. obviously, emails. also information on 500,000 voters and then distributed among social media. some of this information was. the attorney general or the deputy attorney general when talking about the molar investigation responded like this. >> television or in congressional hearings. most anonymous leaks are not from the government officials who are actually conducting these investigations. we filed the rule of law. we follow procedures. we reserve judgment. >> we made it clear that this meddling had no impact on the outcome of the election. the president going to meet russian president vladimir putin on monday address the middling question earlier today. take a listen. >> will we be talking about meddling. i will absolutely bring that up. i don't think you have any g.i. did it. you got me. i don't think. but you never know what hap

the last one, rod rosenstein signed. if that's not enough to force the action, as gregg talked about, contempt or impeachment, tell me what it, tell me what is. we have been this patient -- we started this a year ago in july asking for documents. we started with the letters. >> laura: which documents in particular? >> all of them. they have a subpoena with nine different things. they are not in compliance with three elements of the subpoena issued by bob goodlatte. after we first asked for them in letters. >> laura: are there state department documents you wanted that you haven't gotten? >> we do now. >> laura: i had the sense that something was happening. >> in the last few hours, we found out about that. here's the thing. why do we have to dig so deep to find out information that should come free-flowing, if we are really interested in justice? >> laura: gregg, let's go back to may when rosenstein really got his back up. let's watch. >> any reaction to the news that certain members of the house freedom caucus have talk

i think it is cavalier of the justice department and rod rosenstein to ignoresons. think it is cavalier when they tell witnesses not to answer questions. it is real when they redact information that has nothing to do with national security. we need our leadership to be leaders. if they don't support us, what are we doing here? lou: why is paul ryan being tolerated by his republican colleagues, and his unwilling ness to give up after he resigns it, the position to raise money, nearly $64 million for the midterms. it isn't to further the agenda of the real leader of the republican party. it didn't to advertise and pro mote the many successes of the trump administration, but rather to advance the rino agenda controlled by the koch brothers and the business round table and the conflict with the president will only result in a loss of republican seats in the house. we'll remind you again that paul ryan loss twice in his hometown of janesville. the people knowing best wouldn't vote for him for vice president or for congress in 2012. there maybe some hope yet. as expected

they've really been coming out rod rosenstein.esterday the republicans took on rod rosenstein over the mueller probe. watch this exchange. >> talk about the mueller investigation, it's really the rosenstein investigation. you appointed mueller. >> let me make this one point. we your statement that i'm keeping information from you trying to conceal information -- >> you're the boss. >> that's correct. my job is to make sure that we respond to your concerns. we have, sir. i've appointed mr. lousch and my understand is it's going well, sir. your use of this to attack me personally. >> this not a personal. >> may the witness be permitted to answer the question. >> it's not personal. >> some heated exchanges there. i want to get your reaction with the way republicans are going after rod rosenstein. a lifelong republican and a trump appointee. they're going after him for a reason. what do you think the reason they have targeted him in this manner that is a public berating of him? >> i'm glad you told me that was a congressional hearing

well rod rosenstein said today he briefed the president about the allegations earlier this week. but listen to what president trump said just this morning, again calling the investigation a witch hunt when he knew what mueller had. >> i think that we're being hurt very badly by -- i would call it the witch hunt, i would call it the rigged witch hunt that really hurts our country and our relationship with russia. he think we would have a chance to have a very good relationship with russia and a very good relationship with putin. >> a sustained effort to undermine the credibility of the russia investigation. and that is the only example of trump's own words coming back to haunt him. this is july 27th of 2017, months before election day. >> russia, if your listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> that is candidate trump publicly asking the russians to get hillary clinton's e-mails and the russians tries to do that. from the 29-page indictment, on or about july 27th, 2016, the kpeer tors attempted to spear fisch for first time e-mail accounts at a

[laughing] i'm joking of course but since the publication of "the benedict option" just over a year ago, i have had to contend with countless critics who insist that drew is urging all the christians to drop everything and turn themselves into amish. it doesn't matter how often i explain all the wise, they insist. a professor recently he would like to work on an essay contemplated why so many people simply cannot or will not grasp my argument. but to be clear we not talking about peo

this is rod rosenstein on friday at what paul butler called the clapback. let's listen. >> we follow the rule of law which means that we follow procedures and we reserve judgment. we complete our investigations and evaluate the relevant evidence before with we reach conclusion. that's how the american people expect their department of justice to operate and how our department is going to operate. >> very quickly before i come back to our two reporters, a prosecutor in the position rod rosenstein is in, can you explain to us as a former prosecutor how do they continue to operate with this kind of political pressure where one political party has said the investigation itself is a crime and should stop. how does a prosecutor operate? >> you do your job and understand you have to submit to these congressional hearings. congress is fulfilling its oversight role in a very bipartisan way. they're trying to protect the president so rod rosenstein is in a poogs where he has to regard the congress as basically a supplement to the president's defense team. it's an exc

well rod rosenstein said today he briefed the president about the allegations earlier this week. but listen to what president trump said just this morning, again calling the investigation a witch hunt when he knew what mueller had. >> i think that we're being hurt very badly by -- i would call it the witch hunt, i would call it the rigged witch hunt that really hurts our country and our relationship with russia. he think we would have a chance to have a very good relationship with russia and a very good relationship with putin. >> a sustained effort to undermine the credibility of the russia investigation. and that is the only example of trump's own words coming back to haunt him. this is july 27th of 2017, months before election day. >> russia, if your listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> that is candidate trump publicly asking the russians to get hillary clinton's e-mails and the russians tries to do that. from the 29-page indictment, on or about july 27th, 2016, the kpeer tors attempted to spear fisch for first time e-mail accounts at a

i want your reaction to rod rosenstein, deputy attorney general sending out a personal message to 93 u.s. attorneys asking for three federal prosecutors to be forwarded their names to him, to as he put it, aid in the vetting of brett kavanaugh, is the justice of the supreme court. have you seen such a -- to me this is beyond the pale. lou: rod rosenstein did a special counsel appointment did not follow rules, i don't know where he is getting the authority to do this or why it would be good to do it. to me this seems unprecedented. i don't know what is motivating it but he does need to explain why, it just seems weird. lou: absolutely, and questions keep mounting with the deputy attorney general. congressman congratulations on a great day, again we appreciate it congressman ron desantos. >> yep. lou: up next, former fbi attorney lisa page will finally answer to two congressional committees tomorrow. gregg jarrett is here next to take it up. stay with us, we'll be right back. my father passed this truck down to me, that's the same thing i want to do with you. it's an emotional thing to

rod rosenstein lied lyda, mccabe live lyda. lied.t was so duplicitous, even steele himself in court proceedings in great britain conceded that the dossier was not confirmed or verified. he referred to it as, raw intelligence and he said the chances of some of it even being true were 50/50. and christopher steele is ultimately fired as an fbi source for lying and leaking, and still in the pfizer warrants after his firing, they claimed to fisa judges, that steel was credible. meanwhile, james comey admitted that he knew the dossier was unverified, and let's not forget, fired fbi director actually denied he told a lie to our own bret baier, that the dossier was in fact playing a major role in the pfizer application. the hardest warrant to ever get. they lied to the judges repeatedly. take a look. >> you called the dossier unverified and salacious, why did you use that to the pfizer court to ask for surveillance for carter page? not only use it but you lead with that. >> that's not my recollection, and it was part of a broader mosaic of

rod rosenstein just unveiling new charges for russian intelligence officers accused of hacking the dnc and the clinton campaign. i'm dana perino. this is "the daily briefing." rosenstein announcing the charges at a news conference earlier today. mr. trump saying he will bring up russian meddling. >> i will absolutely bring that up. i don't think you'll have any gee, i didn't, you got me. there won't be a perry mason here. you never know what happens. i will absolutely firmly ask the question. >> the indictment charges 12 russian officers by name for conspireing to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. 11 of the defendants are charged with conspiring to hacking into computers, steal documents and release those documents with the intent to interfere in the election. >> dana: catherine herridge is live on capitol hill. catherine, what did we learn today that we didn't know before? >> well, dana, good afternoon. one of the big top-line items is that these individuals are part of what is called the gru, the russian intelligence. they were operating on two different tracks. one trac

if they get rid of rod rosenstein, who will they replace him with?hrough the senator. but i agree with rick. this is like a good-bye gift to donald trump. they're leaving for a month, they're going into recess. so nothing is going to happen and they threw this out there to hit all the fox shows, i guess, for the next 24 hours. >> so jeremy mentioned mike pompeo's testimony yesterday. the secretary of state appeared before the senate foreign relations committee. it was the first time senators have had a chance to question the secretary since both the singapore and helsinki summits. the hearing included several back and forths on topics including russia, north korea, and policy in other places, as well. >> has the president told you what he and president putin discussed in their two-hour closed door meeting in helsinki? >> the presidents have a prerogative to whose who is in meetings or not. i'm sure you've had -- >> i just asked you a simple question. did you -- did he tell you whether or not what happened in those two hours? >> yes. the predicate of

gina, rod rosenstein bouncing up in a chair.tting there -- i don't know what all that was about. these are strange strange folks involved at the top levels of the justice and fbi. >> lou, as you know, i can't diagnose someone i have never seen clinically. but look at them with my background in psychology and knowing they both still work for the fbi. i hope they are keeping up with their psychological assessments because something is amiss here. the n they have to do that in body language terms is they have too much energy inside of them, they don't know what to do. they can't throw their hands up in the air in is energy boiling over in them probably from nervousness or something they may be hiding. that's why you see the bizarre jerks and gestures. lou: maybe that's why they put spies in the trump campaign. >> my background is education. if i had strzok in front of me in a classroom. it's not extra energy. this guy's smirk is smugness and arrogance not just towards trump. but the american people. that's what he was bubbling over

that is what rod rosenstein said. but as you read this indictment, it's not just american citizens they're talking about. they're talking about people who are affiliated with the trump campaign who had communications with guccifer 2.0. whether or not they knew that they were dmcommunicating with e russians remains to be seen, but we have some stunning quotes in this indictment. somebody -- one of the -- guccifer writing to a person who is in regular contact with senior members of the trump presidential campaign. guccifer writes, thank you for writing back, did you find anything interesting in the documents i posted? please tell me if i can help you anyhow. what do you think of the info on the turnout model for the democrats' entire presidential campaign? the person responded, pretty standard. what we also know from this, which i think is interesting new information, is that on july 27th when the president came out and said to the russians, if you have any more information on hillary clinton's e-mails, send it my way,

and rod rosenstein briefed the president before the trip to uk. is he still calling it a witch-hunt? >> i feel for people like felipe, someone who's had my own e-mails gone. i commend him for not having anything super salacious. it wasn't the trump campaign that went through this so far as we know. doesn't look like it is. we would have known by now. we're 60 weeks in to this investigation and don't have much of a witch in this hunt. >> you could say 12 of them. a dozen witches we learned about yesterday with full first and last names. these russians indicted. >> yep. there is no connection that we know of right now. it doesn't appear to be, that those were 12 people connected in any way. in fact, rod rosenstein himself said that none of these 12 intel officers from russia were in communication with any americans. >> look at this list here. 32 indicted, 2 jailed and -- look what rod rosenstein accomplished so far. >> we've called this in the media the trump-russia collusion. 60 weeks. no evidence tying donald trump to this. certainly paul manafort

earlier this week as rod rosenstein said. yet after even being briefed about these indictments, the president said this about the investigation earlier this week. >> i call it the rigged witch hunt. i think that really hurts our country and it really hurts our relationship with russia. i think that we would have a chance to have a very good relationship with russia and a very good relationship with president putin. i would hope so. >> so all of that being said, it might come as no surprise that democrats are the first ones calling for him to cancel the summit with putin. why have we only heard predominantly from democrats. there are a lot of people wondering why the president would still be meeting with putin right now. and one of those folks might very well be bob mueller, because mueller could have easily waited to drop this indictment until after the president met with putin, but he didn't. you've got to ask yourself, why? joining me now from london is nbc news white house correspondent geoff bennett. with me is tonight's

rod blum, some of the other folks, really been instrumental. that was important one for rod. for lot of people. incredible difficulty. you would think that would be easy one. what is easier than that? drug companies didn't like it. because it showed badly, people were very, very sick. they didn't want it in the statistics. insurance companies didn't want it because they didn't want it because they didn't want it to get sued. the states didn't want it because there was liability question. we got them all in the room. look, everybody will sign a document, we'll take this, take away all liability. no liability, no suits, no nothing. but we'll have the right to try. and they said, i was there. you could say i led it. and they said, they said very nicely, oh, well that works. everybody said that works. in terms of the statistics for the drug companies, and they don't want to have that as a bad stat. these people were really far down the line in many cases. we don't count that stat or have a different set of statistics where it's terminally ill people. one of the things you get out
