starr: i know. thank you.lieve it follows that he, as someone who's not above the law, the opinion says mr. president, you are just like the rest of us. we respect you, and obviously judges, as jonathan just said, will take all this into account. coming to your point you are pressing, greta, rightly so, is let's assume you can be indicted, the two opinions concluding to the contrary that the president cannot be indicted -- those do govern, unless changed, robert mueller. so the president cannot be indicted under justice department learning and teaching. greta: if they wanted to change that, who changes that? mr. starr: the attorney general could write now say, i disagree with the opinions. he would hopefully write it up so it is a recent decision. prof. turley: i am not a big fan of the clinton era olc memo, which i think is dreadful. the nixon opinion is more substantive and interesting. greta: and olc's office of legal counsel at the department of justice. prof. turley: but they actually did not say, we conc

ken starr didn't have to do that. special counsel act said he should, in all instances, act with accord. right now it's the teaching of the legal counsel and policy of the department of justice that a sitting president can't be indicted. that was more of a guideline for ken starr, that he could decide, as the boss, to pass up, less likely that robert mueller would do that. >> do you think a sitting president can be indicted? >> i think as a practical matter, a president can be indicted. can a grand jury return indictment of the president? yes. they can vote indictment and indictment be returned. what can the president do? he can pardon himself immediately, fire the prosecutor. he could tell the marshalls, you can't arrest me. he could tell the bureau of prisons, you can't hold me, because he runs the executive branch. these are all things that the president could do. naturally, the question isn't can the president be indicted, the question is more seriously, can the president be impeached for interfering with the indi

starr: that's right, i will get his book for the holidays. is the thing -- yes, i wanted to be fired so i could go back to the university. if i was really guilty of misconduct, so under the statute , as rightly pointed out, the attorney general has certain controls and can fire the independent counsel for good cause. the statute, under one of the anomalies of the either,is, had i been had i accepted it with good grace, written my book, gone off and lives happily ever after. if i had been fired, this was another very strange dimension, and i think it is unconstitutional. i could have filed an action in the united states district court to say to the judge judge, overturn that decision. judge coulderal overturn the single judgment -- maybe not so considerate -- of the attorney general of the united states. flagrantly, completely unconstitutional. but that was, as i said, to try to achieve -- i do not want try and so skeptical about the noble call stu has lifted up so eloquently, about the independence and integrity of the investigation, but we w

, doing the ken starr investigation, in the starr report, among the things that were said to be grounds for impeachment included the following -- the president lied about his relationship with miss lewinsky to senior aides and those aides then conveyed the president's false story to the grand jury. why did you guys consider that a potential impeachable offense? >> well, to begin with, i didn't say -- i want to make something clear, you can impeach somebody for what you consider to be obstructive conduct or conduct that obstructs justice and it not be a criminal violation. i think that's an important distinction. >> is that what we're looking at here then? i guess that's the kacase you we making 20 years ago, what the president did impeded our investigation, it was obstructing it, it's not technically a crime but it's pretty close? >> the difference with president clinton is there a false story, he was allowing a false story to be told to the grand jury, and unwittingly by the people doing it, and to our investigators by creating a story that he knew was false. that's a little different

for every attack he was making on ken starr, he was talking eight or nine things he was doing for thed trump could do that as well, but he has chosen not to. bill clinton didn't go after the institutions of government. he didn't talk about how the department of justice was rigged. he didn't call the press the enemies of the people. he didn't like the way we were covering things and we covered him tough, but he didn't call us enemies of the people. he didn't condone the murder of a reporter. he didn't try to undermine the sa sanctity of our political institutions. donald trump is not focussing on things like criminal justice reform. he's not getting infrastructure bills passed in the legislature. he's not framing what he's doing with the tariffs in a way that might help people here in detroit. he's talking about himself. he gets up every morning and talks about himself. that would not have worked for bill clinton. and my guess is it's not going to work well for donald trump. >> one story of mine you will appreciate, when clinton was impeached and the bulletin went out, i printed it out

barbara starr at the pentagon, thanks very much.d by former deputy national security adviser and former deputy secretary of state, tony blinken, along with david sanger. tony, just want to ask you, you served inside government in a number of levels in national security. does the u.s. today have a national security decision making process where the commander in chief consults his commanders in the field, other senior national security staff, or as we saw last week, makes summary decisions and issues proclamations by tweet? >> jim, as far as i can tell, the answer is no. that's deeply troubling and concerning. by the way, susan rice lays it out effectively in an op-ed in "the new york times" yesterday. in my years in government, people, policy, you want a process, and you want it to result in a policy everyone can follow. what we're seeing now is the goingrogation. the piece people are gone or going, starting with jim mattis. there apparently is no process. the president just decides things arbitrarily, and people think there's a poli

what does it tell you, judge starr? >> there is a brokenness in the relationships.elieve it or not, the special counselor or the special prosecutor has a relationship. this is a human process. and are you on the same team or are you not? so i think one of the challenges that the mueller team is now having is getting people on the team. they say they are going to join the team. then they don't. or they are on the team and then say they we are off. there is a brokenness in the relationship that is frankly an impediment for us to bring the investigation to a conclusion. you are right. thus far there has been no public evidence of any kind of collusion with russian interests and the trump campaign. so we keep finding new areas, right? such as, well, what about the michael cohen plea with respect to business relationships in russia carrying on into the presidential campaign? the good news i think for the country, because the country should want the president to succeed is there is no indication that the president has been in any way misleading or just not telling the tru
