don't use the department of justice to -- don't use the department of justice to go after the politicales. don't attack the first amendment and the press. and russia is an adversary. don't coddle an adversary. if you had read that, you wouldn't say it's a partisan speech. >> listen to the section about the press. >> i complained plenty about fox news. but you never heard me threaten to shut them down. or call them enemies of the people. it shouldn't be democratic or republican to say we don't target certain groups of people based on what they look like or how they pray. we are americans. we're supposed do stand up to bullies. >> to the point, bill, that's not a partisan message. >> yeah. last sentence is good message. other parts seemed to attack the republican party more broadly. whatever the truth or not truth, i'm not sure that's -- >> wasn't talking about medicare or -- >> he wasn't saying that paul ryan's going to push -- what he did when he was president. paul ryan -- >> exactly. >> like the mccain funeral, right? like people talk about democracy and bipartisanship as an attack on

the problem is he's using the department of justice as his hr department. you're not supposed to use the department of justice, which is a law enforcement entity, to do what is really an employment matter. that's really the issue here and where he's going way too far. >> it would also, david, i mean, what kind of an impact would mass polygraphing of, you know, white house employees have, you think? >> it's completely degrading. it's completely demoralizing. you do not do that to professionals. and it would leave a trail of bitterness that i just think is very destructive for this president. but you know, we're six days into this and we still do not have an administration that can identify a single law that potentially has been broken. they are asked repeatedly, sarah sanders was asked about this repeatedly today, and she kept retreating into sort of, you know, mothy words, and just sort of a fog bank, but did not and could not identify any law, any crime that has potentially been committed here. that's what's so objectionable, trying to get the justice depar

department of justice works for the taxpayers, works for the government. is guided by the rule of law. and they're not his personal attorneys to settle his personal and political vendettas. usingpartment of justice to shield republican officeholders who commit crimes which is what he was asking the department of justice to do in that tweet from last week, no question in my mind that could be an impeachable offense. if he uses the department of justice here to ferret out a leaker who did not leak classified information that, too, would represent part of a pattern of abuse of power. it is true, i think it is fair to say, a political appointee which i think this person clearly is can be fired for any reason or no reason including disloyalty, not supporting the president's agenda. that's what it means to be a political appointee but to use the fbi to identify someone that the president simply doesn't like would be an abuse of power. >> very interesting. you know, sabrina, as you just heard, our report, jeff sessions is increasingly convinced only a matter of time he's going to be gone either -- and the president probably is going to fire him. he may resign and not going to be ther

of treason. it's -- outrageous that they want to use the department of justice as a political tool, squandering thear more important things to be done. and when you have a president himself who, i believe, is implicating the statutes, laws, regulations and the constitution itself on a daily basis, it's another abuse. and the president instead of lashing out aught to say, why is it that people in my own administration object so strongly? so i totally disagree with what mike pence and kellyanne conway said. >> nicco, we have seen a lot of denials, threats of possible legal action and maybe even inviting themselves to take lie detector tests, but what you're not seeing from the white house is any way in which to dishusband all the language used -- dismiss all the language used, whether it is the op-eds being written, instead it is who authored it. >> yeah, i think president trump's response has been to prove exactly what the op-ed said. it's been erratic, anti-democratic, obviously, there's no crime committed here. and -- but because of president trump is voicing those concerns. other administration o

it is the department of justice and they should be used to investigate legitimate crime. not to sort of fulfill his vendettas. >> the point here is we'll never know here what's happening as a result of this. the department of justice doesn't comment on these sorts of things. kellyanne conway was sitting down with chuck todd on "meet the press" this morning. let's take a listen to an exchange between them. >> should the attorney general take it as an order? >> if the attorney general and the department of justice and the fbi feels they have oversight over matters like this, they will make that decision. >> your reaction to that, what kellyanne conway had to say there. we won't know. >> not only will we not know, but if the doj does died to look into this the first thing reporters would think about is the reporter's privilege. but the supreme court has said this privilege can be pearce ief there's no other way to get the information. a recent case held that in cases of national security it satisfies that compelling need such that these protections as named after the supreme

of it and identify this person. >> that sounds very scary. we're trying to figure out what he's going to do, using his executive power. we know he's not above using his department of justice or his fbi to settle political scores. this seems like the ultimate political score that he'd want settled. any talk of using the fbi or the justice department to achieve what you described to be his aim of rooting out the leaker. >> nicolle, i don't know. i've not heard that specifically, but i wouldn't put it past this president. he's somebody who sort of wants to exercise power when he chooses to. and he's most determined to exercise power sometimes for these sort of personal issues. and so i'm not aware of anything. it would be extraordinary, for example, if he did try to do -- did try to instruct people in the skbrus advertijustice depar intelligence agencies to hunt for the author of this piece. we simply don't know, but he's somebody who has wanted in the past to use his full power. >> you also describe the paranoia. you use that word. i know the president is not a student of american political history. but is there anyone there that is talking openly about the nixon presidency

robert: joke or not, w dan,n you have a person at this level of the department of justice using this kind of casual conversation, regardless of how we want to interpret it, how what does that tell you about how this administration sees its own president? dan:here have been now so many examples of this that what it tells you is that there is no confidence, at very high levels of the admintration, in the president's consistency, his reliability, his way he operates. they may share t agenda, as the anonymous op-ed writer did. but as they watch this alarmed anyhey are number of times and this has happened over a long period of months. this is justne more example. i think the other thing it tells us is what we already have known which is the degree to which the justice department is now in turmoil. some of it caused internally. some of it caused as a result tf wh president has done with jeff sessions. but we have not seen the end of that piece of the story. andrea: i don't think there's any doubt that jeff sessions either will be resigning or be fired after the election and that wouldly po

department of justice should do. he said we should have have an investigation by robert mueller. we have politicians once again saying we want to usertment of justice, democrats have one view and republicans have another to re-open an investigation that we initiate. i know this is a sensitive case but i would be caution about allowing politicians to direct the department of justice and the fbi about what to investigate and what not. i don't want politicians telling the fbi what to do. >> can the fbi open a background check based on the allegations? >> if something came up late in the investigation i think the fbi would re-open it. we are avoiding the real question, if they re-open it, this is 36 years ago and there's an allegation of sexual assault by three people who are between the ages of 15 and 17 or 18, at a party where presumably beer was served and we will never get an answer to the facts. >> i think that's an important point in all this. the fbi can re-open the background check part of this, which is the fact finding part of this, but there are questions if they are going to uncover something definitive or not, and i am not

us. but i think to susan's point, though, the idea that the department of justice should be used as a tool of political revenge is the problem. it's not necessarily the specific facts in each case. it's the fact that the president, that's his go-to. we're going to investigate hillary clinton's e-mails. we're going to investigate the other guy. we're going to investigate bruce ohr, have been though the context behind him is somebody who was looking for russian spies, right? so why is he the one we're picking on in this particular moment and the one that we're going after and trying to smear? and i think that the president uses the department of justice often when he's not attacking them, as just a political tool. >> as his political arm to do -- >> and that is completely un-american. >> -- his political will, or he tries to. he claims that they should be doing it to protect him and so forth on twitter. guys, stick around, susan, zerlina, and philip. we're going to pause for a moment. next, can democrats do anything to stop the president's pick for the supreme court? ♪ this is a story about

there's talk of purges, talk of him going in and trying to use the department of justice to investigateng an op-ed to a national security emergency. here he is. >> we're going to take a look at what he had, what he gave, what he's talking about. also where he is right now. supposing i have a high-level national security meeting and he has got a clearance. you know, we talked about clearances a lot recently. and he goes into a high-level meeting concerning china or russia or north korea or something, and this guy goes in. i don't want him in those meetings. >> "the new york times" response to that was the president's threats both underscore why we must safeguard the identity of this writer of the op-ed and reminder of a free and independent press to american democracy. what do you make of the idea that now donald trump -- again, i'm quoting someone on cnn this morning saying he wants to essentially turn the doj into the kgb to find this person because he claims writing op-eds that are mean about him is a national security emergency. >> exactly. we know donald trump has authoritarian inst

anonymous op-ed i whe i -- writer >> that's a great question because it is not a traditional use of the justice departmentr necessarily appropriate use and one of the things that this o op-ed got was the president had all these moves and whims and issued directives and sometimes aids are able to scuffle them and distracting them and other times, he ordered it quite publicly and his cabinet officials or department s or agencies ignored them publicly. this is something where trump says he wants jeff sessions to do it and jeff sessions just simply does not do it and prompted a number of angry tweets from the president. that could be the end of it. >> is it the job from the attorney's general to investigate anonymous essay writers? >> i prefer the attorney general to be focusing on corruption and the rule of law and justice and on attacking prosecutor crime. this is no, not something that the attorney general would go out of the way to do except if you were nixon's attorney general, john mitchell, nixon was obsessed with bad press and he and john mitchell would spend hours dissecting how they can get to the r
