Firsthand the negative impact of a government attempting to act as a moral arbiter for their people, dictating in the most personal ways how they must live their lives. and so it caused me to confront that contradiction whereas a soldier standing for freedom for all people here in this country, but also how that contradicted with some of those values and beliefs that i grew up with. i also served with gay and lesbian and trans service members. we became very good friends and knew in the most dee...

Cant indict, you have to give the evidence to the body of government, entity of government that by the justice department itself says is the arbiter of presidential conduct. so that gets to the point we made a minute ago. it means at the end of this, theyre not going to indict the president. whether they think he committed a crime or not, they need to turn the evidence over to congress because their standard is different. its not whether he committed a crime. its high crimes and misdemeanors. no...

The doj opinion that a sitting president cant be indicted a shield really. for the last year hes been talking about it as a way to protect the president. the flip side, that same shield becomes a sword for congress. they can -- if its true, as doj says, that the justice department is not the arbiter of presidential conduct or presidential misconduct but that congress is, what that means is that kucongress should have accs to every piece of evidence that the justice department has regarding the p...

Exactly what he did on that day on july 5th, correct? >> so did michael horowitz. michael horowitz is as straight and narrow as you will find in washington and the inspector general took great exception to the way jim comey, just like in his op-ed -- i mean, he doesnt all the time. he thinks he is the arbiter and author of the rules. and hes not. you cannot besmirch peoples reputations. the department of justice cannot do it in a press conference or report. if you have enough information, indict...

Him and throughout his administration. >> this is something that hes hit right on the nose ever since, again, he became president of the united states. and whether its michael cohen, whether its hillary clinton, whether its the mueller investigation, whether its some of the attorneys generals investigations, lawsuits. they go on and on and on and donald trump is going to have one response and one response only, which is to attack, attack, attack, and call this all a witch hunt, which he truly be...

Criticizing. take a look. >> ive decided to revoke the security clearance of john brennan, former director of the central intelligence agency. i have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nations classified information. including by controlling access to it. >> go ahead. >> so, look, the system is broken. lets just step back a moment. what congress truly needs to look at is the entire background investigation and clearance approval process. this notion that the fbi works for a cl...

In a way he looks up to them and respects them in a way that most of us would not. >> does that then give these rulers around the world license to do what they please if they dont believe the white house is going to be a moral arbiter in the world? this must emotions boldbolen rus kim jong un. >> you would think so. because he attacks the free press so much, not just domestically but on foreign soil, that hes giving a free reign to foreign dictators. i dont know whether president trump understan...

Koreans many times. he said it is inconceivable that kim jong-un would not know about an american that is being held in one of his prisons because that is an important bargaining chip for north korea on any number of issues. so it is inconceivable that that would be the case. maybe we shouldnt get lost or let it be lost the fact that we should feel so horribly for the family. they dont want to have to be the arbiter -- they dont want tobe in the middle of this. >> kim jong-un rules his country w...

Issues or foreign influence. and these are the two things that jared pinged on. and the reason here is that, a, you dont onewant someone who h divided loyalties or are has leverage over you. so it is astonishing that these concerns were not heeded. i think it goes to how much this administration cares about the trustworthiness of the people holding this information and the ultimate arbiter is the person at the top. >> and you hear that he went against the recommendations, very clear recommendati...
