░░░░░░░░ series of documents related ░░░░░░░░ the Russia investigation They ░░░░░░░░ they plan to impeach ░░░░░░░░ if he doesn t ░░░░░░░░ over the information So ░░░░░░░░ he has defiantly refused ░░░░░░░░ do that Before you ░░░░░░░░ this out as another ░░░░░░░░ arcing debate the kind ░░░░░░░░ Washington specializes in here ░░░░░░░░ the details There s ░░░░░░░░ lot at stake here ░░░░░░░░ beyond the short term ░░░░░░░░ advantage of either party ░░░░░░░░ Russia investigation as you ░░░░░░░░ has completely dominated the ░░░░░░░░ of government since the ░░░░░░░░ Trump took office It ░░░░░░░░ all anyone in Washington ░░░░░░░░ talk or think about ░░░░░░░░ mind the potential wars ░░░░░░░░ the horizon for the ░░░░░░░░ that our own economy ░░░░░░░░ culture are changing faster ░░░░░░░░ anyone can understand or ░░░░░░░░ In D C only ░░░░░░░░ Mueller investigation matters so ░░░░░░░░ may wonder what is ░░░░░░░░ Mueller investigation What is ░░░░░░░░ about What exactly is ░░░░░░░░ investigating Turns out almost ░░░░░░░░ knows except rob Rosenstein ░░░░░░░░ knows but he won ░░░░░░░░ tell Congress Last summer ░░░░░░░░ wrote a memo detailing ░░░░░░░░ scope of the investigation ░░░░░░░░ portions of that memo ░░░░░░░░ hidden from view Congress ░░░░░░░░ like to see them ░░░░░░░░ has every right to ░░░░░░░░ them Our constitution requires ░░░░░░░░ elected representatives to super ░░░░░░░░ the Department of Justice ░░░░░░░░ is that So that ░░░░░░░░ remain accountable to voters ░░░░░░░░ give them guns let ░░░░░░░░ arrest us and sentenced ░░░░░░░░ prison allow them to ░░░░░░░░ into our private email ░░░░░░░░ tap our phones They ░░░░░░░░ a lot of power ░░░░░░░░ return they promise not ░░░░░░░░ misuse that power If ░░░░░░░░ s any question about ░░░░░░░░ honesty we get the ░░░░░░░░ That s what transparency ░░░░░░░░ Government bureaucrats hate transparency ░░░░░░░░ would rather do their ░░░░░░░░ in secret Secrecy is ░░░░░░░░ shield that protects them ░░░░░░░░ our scrutiny and not ░░░░░░░░ in this case Consider ░░░░░░░░ house intelligence committee investigation ░░░░░░░░ Russian collusion It took ░░░░░░░░ year to complete The ░░░░░░░░ report ranked 253 pages ░░░░░░░░ the rest of us ░░░░░░░░ t really read it ░░░░░░░░ key facts were missing ░░░░░░░░ dominate Trump associates did ░░░░░░░░ Obama Administration spy on ░░░░░░░░ the 2016 campaign It ░░░░░░░░ be nice to know ░░░░░░░░ Sorry it s redacted ░░░░░░░░ there any actual proof ░░░░░░░░ the Russian government directed ░░░░░░░░ of the DNC and ░░░░░░░░ Podesta s Gmail account ░░░░░░░░ it is theirs that ░░░░░░░░ been

░░░░░░░░ a result He sold ░░░░░░░░ house to raise money ░░░░░░░░ his legal defense So ░░░░░░░░ s going on here ░░░░░░░░ don t know That ░░░░░░░░ was redacted Why were ░░░░░░░░ these reactions may We ░░░░░░░░ t even know that ░░░░░░░░ asked no one would ░░░░░░░░ us And then there ░░░░░░░░ the FISA application to ░░░░░░░░ on Trump campaign aide ░░░░░░░░ Page that hasn t ░░░░░░░░ released either We have ░░░░░░░░ reason to believe the ░░░░░░░░ may have fundamentally illegitimate ░░░░░░░░ heavily on discredited partisan ░░░░░░░░ the dossier Jim Comey ░░░░░░░░ this of course He ░░░░░░░░ denied it repeatedly on ░░░░░░░░ book tour Just the ░░░░░░░░ day he noted smiling ░░░░░░░░ as he said it ░░░░░░░░ there s no way ░░░░░░░░ check really because it ░░░░░░░░ classified The joke is ░░░░░░░░ us except is not ░░░░░░░░ Almost nobody trusts the ░░░░░░░░ anymore and that s ░░░░░░░░ thing both sides can ░░░░░░░░ on There s only ░░░░░░░░ way to fix that ░░░░░░░░ Stop hiding stop lying ░░░░░░░░ us what s really ░░░░░░░░ on Rod Rosenstein has ░░░░░░░░ intention of doing and ░░░░░░░░ that In an interview ░░░░░░░░ compared demands to a ░░░░░░░░ shakedown Watch There are ░░░░░░░░ who have been making ░░░░░░░░ privately and publicly against ░░░░░░░░ for quite some time ░░░░░░░░ I think they should ░░░░░░░░ by now the Department ░░░░░░░░ Justice is not going ░░░░░░░░ be extorted We are ░░░░░░░░ to do what is ░░░░░░░░ by the rule of ░░░░░░░░ and any kind of ░░░░░░░░ that anybody makes are ░░░░░░░░ going to affect the ░░░░░░░░ we do our job ░░░░░░░░ The victim Extorted How ░░░░░░░░ accountable Nobody elected rob ░░░░░░░░ to anything or any ░░░░░░░░ these people They work ░░░░░░░░ us supposedly on our ░░░░░░░░ When they won t ░░░░░░░░ what they are doing ░░░░░░░░ why they are doing ░░░░░░░░ it is a sure ░░░░░░░░ always and everywhere that ░░░░░░░░ have begun to work ░░░░░░░░ us That s what ░░░░░░░░ means Joe digenova is ░░░░░░░░ former U S Attorney ░░░░░░░░ the district of Columbia ░░░░░░░░ he joins us now ░░░░░░░░ s hard to believe ░░░░░░░░ just happened that Rod ░░░░░░░░ about whom I was ░░░░░░░░ until today we get ░░░░░░░░ there and attacked the ░░░░░░░░ which has constitutional oversight ░░░░░░░░ his department as mafia ░░░░░░░░ in effect for asking ░░░░░░░░ what the Constitution demands ░░░░░░░░ have which is oversight ░░░░░░░░ deputy attorney general today ░░░░░░░░ himself from continued service ░░░░░░░░ the Department of Justice ░░░░░░░░ Sessions now has an ░░░░░░░░ responsibility to call him ░░░░░░░░ his office berate him ░░░░░░░░ saying that constitutional oversight ░░░░░░░░ extortion That statement by ░░░░░░░░ constitutional officer like rob ░░░░░░░░ is disgraceful it s ░░░░░░░░ embarrassment to the department ░░░░░░░░ it is of a ░░░░░░░░ of what Mr Rosenstein ░░░░░░░░ done there since he ░░░░░░░░ He is a careerist ░░░░░░░░ believes the department can ░░░░░░░░ no wrong and that ░░░░░░░░ is going to resist ░░░░░░░░ for more information When ░░░░░░░░ realize that he appointed ░░░░░░░░ special counsel Robert Mueller ░░░░░░░░ he s very close ░░░░░░░░ and who was very ░░░░░░░░ to James Comey to ░░░░░░░░ no crime and put ░░░░░░░░ country through 15 going ░░░░░░░░ 16 months of interruption ░░░░░░░░ a new president that ░░░░░░░░ you something about Rod ░░░░░░░░ He is resisting all ░░░░░░░░ this because he created ░░░░░░░░ original sin and investigation ░░░░░░░░ no crime Tucker I ░░░░░░░░ just confused Rod Rosenstein ░░░░░░░░ a gun he has ░░░░░░░░ power to arrest you ░░░░░░░░ me Lying to him ░░░░░░░░ is a felony He ░░░░░░░░ a lot of power ░░░░░░░░ does he think that ░░░░░░░░ comes from if not ░░░░░░░░ the Congress and the ░░░░░░░░ who elected those members ░░░░░░░░ Congress When you are ░░░░░░░░ arrogant and as deep ░░░░░░░░ the belief that you ░░░░░░░░ been given a duty ░░░░░░░░ do whatever you think ░░░░░░░░ right for the country ░░░░░░░░ when you hate the ░░░░░░░░ of the United States ░░░░░░░░ I am now convinced ░░░░░░░░ does then you believe ░░░░░░░░ can do anything and ░░░░░░░░ the attorney general cost ░░░░░░░░ because god made you ░░░░░░░░ powerful The power comes ░░░░░░░░ voters That the only ░░░░░░░░ it comes from He ░░░░░░░░ not understand it because ░░░░░░░░ a careerist and someone ░░░░░░░░ has never left government ░░░░░░░░ a minute to speak ░░░░░░░░ of any note government ░░░░░░░░ all he knows and ░░░░░░░░ him the most important ░░░░░░░░ is the next job ░░░░░░░░ can assure you the ░░░░░░░░ thing he doesn t ░░░░░░░░ to happen is to ░░░░░░░░ held in contempt or ░░░░░░░░ be impeached because he ░░░░░░░░ himself to be something ░░░░░░░░ very special and unaccountable ░░░░░░░░ Tucker The DoJ some ░░░░░░░░ people who work there ░░░░░░░░ spoke to one of ░░░░░░░░ today Why doesn t ░░░░░░░░ Congress why doesn t ░░░░░░░░ public have a right ░░░░░░░░ know what this is ░░░░░░░░ This person said it ░░░░░░░░ an ongoing investigation I ░░░░░░░░ my argument would be ░░░░░░░░ public s need to ░░░░░░░░ what this is about ░░░░░░░░ perceive that But tell ░░░░░░░░ your view The answer ░░░░░░░░ it s not an ░░░░░░░░ investigation There is no ░░░░░░░░ They ve already conceded ░░░░░░░░ the president is not ░░░░░░░░ target They are asking ░░░░░░░░ 49 questions that they ░░░░░░░░ to ask the president ░░░░░░░░ maybe even with a ░░░░░░░░ jury subpoena because they ░░░░░░░░ to impeach the president ░░░░░░░░ this has nothing to ░░░░░░░░ with a criminal investigation ░░░░░░░░ Trump has done nothing ░░░░░░░░ He s conspired with ░░░░░░░░ one The reason they ░░░░░░░░ threatening to subpoena go ░░░░░░░░ please issue the subpoena ░░░░░░░░ it will be an ░░░░░░░░ subpoena and illegal subpoena ░░░░░░░░ there is no authority ░░░░░░░░ federal law to issue ░░░░░░░░ subpoena to a president ░░░░░░░░ the United States to ░░░░░░░░ testimony from him so ░░░░░░░░ can be used in ░░░░░░░░ impeachment proceeding That use ░░░░░░░░ the grand jury is ░░░░░░░░ absolutely illegal Tucker It ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ that continues I have ░░░░░░░░ feeling Enke for that ░░░░░░░░ Chris joins us now ░░░░░░░░ lawyer and
