Calling William Barr News Today

Happening here are intensely productive. so he is right to focus on this but i hope he stays on it with the big national news, he is right to talk about it. >> harris: remember that he is rolling out his nomination for the highest attorney in the land, william barr. i also want to point out that matthew whitaker was on stage at the very conference, it has been going on since wednesday. as was ag rosenstein. and i have gotten notes, i will not get all into it with you, but i just found it interes...

There was exit polling from the midterm election showing that 54% of americans, the majority believe that the mueller investigation is politically motivated because he surrounded himself with people that have donated to democrats, also you have where the investigation prior to when mueller took over, peter strzok leading it and clearly had animus towards the president, so that gets into the narrative of what president trump has been saying about it. also, barr is not the only person with concern...

Conference in kansas city, missouri. i found it interesting that the u.s. district attorney of kansas, stephen mcallister was asked about the presidents speech a short time ago and he said, we are hoping that the president can address what is going on with crime in this country and the 120 or so homicides that have happened in kansas city. we want him to address that. but he says the president is the president. he can address what he chooses. so he been talking about some of the things that have...

Look at us moving into 2019 and the democrats getting ready to take the house, where do you put the mueller investigation ahead? >> jessica: i think it will go on as it has, with very few leaks, and big weeks like this one where you get a lot of information. much will be redacted. as brian pointed out. >> harris: you feel where jeff flake is, wanting to protect mueller in the investigation, do you feel that that is necessary? you think think you will go fo? >> jessica: i think that it will go fo...

Similar things to what the president has been critical of outcome of mueller investigatio investigation. and maybe even with matthew whitaker. but the tenor and tone are different, that experience playing a different role, but this takes the air out of the balloon for investigations at the top are democrats. some were going to really go after matthew whitaker. as i said, you may not have tha that. >> jessica: know, and we were talking about that the president will be smart to move it along quick...

This is the same formula that they want to use. put it at a sub cabinet level, so heather nauert would do the day-to-day business, but the big heavy stuff you would see mike pompeo taking the lead. >> harris: that is an interesting detail. john roberts, always back, thank you very much for all of the information. good to see you, my friend. as we look at this, lets start with william barr and his relationship to the previous president and how that really plays a role. >> brian: i think this is a...

Not confirm him when he has held the job before previously? how can democrats take a shot at him? how can the never-trumpers take a shot at him. but he does agree with the presidents point of view where he wrote about the usurping of executive power. in addressing james comey usurping the doj power when he stood up they are outrageously and talked about what should or should not be pursued by the doj, which was never his role. so this is a very clever pick on the presidents part. >> harris: barr...

The foundation later in the sho show. interestingly enough william barr has talked about that as well. we will move on, james comey on capitol hill for a testimony behind closed doors. what can we expect in the standoff between the fired fbi director and house republicans? and despite a positive jobs report, wall street is lower right now. and fear of a trade war with china. at the top chinese executives can throw those talks off-track. stay close. ♪ your insurance rates skyrocket after a scra...
