Presidential whim or to send a message or to retaliate against a certain prosecutor. im deeply troubled by this. and im very concerned that the congress has given up a lot of its article one authority over the years, didnt start with this president, this has been going on for a long time. we have seen executive actions under president obama and others and congress needs to step in and assert itself. the founders established congress -- the first branch of government, article one, and so i think ...

About it. he was talking about the fact that the president is unpredictable and its not a good policy and all these people are against it including republicans, as well. but thats not the point. you know, the constitution very clearly says article one, section 8, subsection 3, the congress is in charge of regulating foreign commerce. all of our commerce with other nations. so its congress not doing its job, not just donald trump. >> wendi, i keep thinking about this point which theres a fundamen...

Unless they are pardoned, perhaps people will be more tolerant. >> saying in a sense the presidents sending out a whistle to cohen like, i love you, man, i got your back. >> i dont think donald trump cares about blagojevich or stewart or any of these cases or justice or fairness. this is all a telegraph. my guess is trump meets every afternoon with rudy or his team of lawyers to talk about the state of the case. if i were giuliani this afternoon, i would have article one, paragraph nine of the r...

Attorney general side. we had to move to the subpoena, which im sure he found out about that. >> shannon: meanwhile the attorney general with some strong warnings for illegal border crossers, today announcing that the department of homeland security will send anyone crossing the southern border for prosecution. joins us live. we hadnt set you up or asked you to come today to talk about this dispute between the doj and the house but you are just chomping at the bit, i can see, to say something ab...

Upset. as for mr. rosenstein, why did he tell the president that? right now we have seen a lot of tension between the white house and department of justice. maybe mr. rosenstein is trying making to keep the president from making a move that he thinks he might make. which is maybe firing him. that could be one reason. >> sean: unbelievable. >> the president said he wouldnt. that is another thing, we got to go with of the president said, he has no intention right now firing him, they are both stil...

But it is not illegal today under the law >> it sure is. this is a fundamental disagreement that allen and i have. all of those examples of setting investigative priorities. if the president fires the fbi director to stop him from investigating the president himself, that is a corrupt motive. that is the definition of obstruction of justice. >> you are saying the intent matters. >> that is the whole story. >> that is the point. you have to have an illegal act and you cant have an illegal act whe...
