To have to say another word about the investigation, not to have to testify. is there any help from history on that point? is there precedent in terms of special counsels or other high profile public investigators like this having to testify or electing to testify after making some form of their findings public. do you think that mueller be forced to testify? >> i think he will be. i think he will not get his wish, if it really is his wish. he may feel if he has to testify, it is better for him ...

Crime bill especially with joe biden. your take in. >> before you get into that, regardless im happy because for the first time in my adult life and maybe in living memory the president of the united states and a democratic front-runner are arguing who is the best on a criminal justice reform, not whos going to build more prisons, pass dumber laws, longer sentences but who is going to be the best on fixing mass incarceration. president trump is wrong that bidens position is going to make him on ...

So the plan, as it appears p now, is essentially kind of purge of the ideologically suspect members of the intelligence apparatus. >> tucker: um-huh. its a purge like joseph stalin. unless we stop the release of disinformation, people will die. thats what theyre telling you. just another day of balanced news coverage on msnbc. keep in mind as you watch and rewatch that clip that chris hayes is not a flack for the cia. i he is a member of the national press corps, but he isnt arguing for openness...

Congressman green said, but go on. >> yes. thank you. and thank you for calling him congressman al green. i just think its really important that we understand the framing of that conversation. i think that congressman green is grounding this conversation and one that i think is frankly sobering for all of us, and that is what is history going to say about this congress? this congress was elected to do something different, not to go along to get along with donald trump and his abuse of power fran...
