zerlina, what do you think the gop will do in terms of interpreting that? >> christopher wray is in a really tough position. he's a trump appointee, the person who came in after the president abruptly fired james comey. so he is supposed to be the person who is a trump ally, according to the white house, or at least in trump's mind. but he's correct. the fbi and the department of justice are separate entities and they should be independent from the political conversation that's going on. and i think that his memo was meant to seasonally say to the white house, cut it out, stop attacking our most precious institutions. we need u.s. attorneys and the fbi who are investigating all sorts of crimes all over america to have that credibility when they go into courtrooms and they go in and speak to grand juries and witnesses in their cases. >> rick, is that how the gop is going to interpret that memo from christopher wray? >> look, i hope not. i'm sure will and some will want to use this memo for political advantage. again, this is a political document, not an inve

second, that they have the proper clearances, as zerlina just pointed out. it is very dangerous for people not to have proper clearances. the reason we go through the whole clearance process. i think people are trying to put this on john kelly. i actually think that ivanka and jared would like to see john kelly go because he has been somewhat successful in initialing their role and influence and their access to their father and father-in-law for things that they would like to get done on their agenda. >> so then the porter resignation, the sorenson resignation, two of them now, is this kelly's waterloo? >> i think so. i don't like to make predictions when it comes to the trump white house. last week we were talking about a memo. this week we're talking about serial domestic abuse. but i think, you know, we have to get to a point where we can acknowledge that we're in a different moment that we might have been pre-trump. we're in the me too era. women are saying sexual abuse, sexual harassment in the workplace, they are not okay. we will not tolerate them any

. >> the last question, zerlina, why do you keep bringing up hacking?won't happen in 2018. >> i think it might happen in 2018 and we'll look at the democratic message as the reason democrats weren't successful instead of trying to prevent the next hacking. i would also say gerrymandering impacts the outcome of these elections so democrats have to way overperform in order to win back the 24 seats in the house. >> let's see what the supreme court says about gerrymandering. john, zerlina, john-john, good to have you guys. >>> ahead, sports fan chuck todd inducted into the hall of fame. you heard me right. ♪ a wealth of information. a wealth of perspective. ♪ a wealth of opportunities. that's the clarity you get from fidelity wealth management. straightforward advice, tailored recommendations, tax-efficient investing strategies, and a dedicated advisor to help you grow and protect your wealth. fidelity wealth management. to help you grow and protect your wealth. let's team up to get the lady of the house back on her feet. and help her feel more strength and

her mother too has kept silent for four long years but now she's broken that silence to talk about zerlina her beloved daughter. selena followed her husband who went off to syria to fight with the so-called islamic state. yes. he took selina and their three children with him. i know he'll never come back because he was killed in march last year but he won yet. we needed new. since then she says she hasn't heard anything from her daughter. celina is one of hundreds of chechens who left their homes to join the i.a.s. after the war in syria broke out. nearly all of them are listed as missing their children to. their mother showed us these photos in the desperate hope their children might see them and let them know that they're alive. here at petit marts house and saw and granddaughter looking at photos of their lina . would answer also follow the terrorists call and go to syria the way his sister did and there was no i won't let them recruit me. i have a mind of my own and i don't listen to what the others are saying. betty matzoh law mother hasn't given up hope of seeing her daughter again o

let's bring in zerlina maxwell, progressive media for the clinton campaign, director of programming for sirius kphpl. joe watkins, and political analyst rick tyler, former cruz campaign spokesman. joe with you, the rick gates plea deal, reaction to that by white house strategic director, mercedes schlapp, let's listen to that. >> this indictment has nothing to do with the white house or the president. as you know, we have been cooperative with special counsel and as we continue to see, there's no evidence of collusion, no evidence of wrongdoing. >> so, joe, you worked in the white house. what do you think the response to this kind of news is behind closed doors? >> well, you've got to be concerned because special prosecutor mueller is taking his time but he is being very methodical about this. and one person after the other is being indicted and then cooperating with special counsel. the next one, i would imagine that would want to cooperate would be paul manafort. he is facing a stiff jail sentence. he doesn't have any choice. now that gates is cooperating with special counsel, i don't

. >> zerlina and rick, you guys have been on campaigns in 2016, ted cruz, hillary clinton.ead this article, tell me what your reaction was. >> this is unbelievable. you can understand how fiction writers have a hard time today. it's an epic story. tom and rosalind did an amazing job. opposition researchers in general, they look at the public record, they'll look at divorce filings, tax filings, they'll go to the hometown of the opposition and talk to a few people. this is on a whole different level. this is an actual spy, someone who has been trained to spy, who is integrated deeply into russia and has all these connections that no opposition firm that i know of would have ever gotten. >> just because it's opposition research, does that mean it's not credible? >> no, of course not. but it's going to have the patina of being political. so you have a campaign and ultimately the hillary clinton campaign controlled what became known as the dossier, the 17 memos, and that makes it very easy to question motivations, because this is about the presidency. and so, no, the informatio
