Ranking member doug collins on the house judiciary committee told bret baer tonight. >> the problem is they want to appear they have done something when all they did was solidify adam schiffs control. lets have an honest debate. if you want this to be a true inquiry tweet treated with respect and deference it deserves, not the way they are doing now in the basement of the capital simply letting people know what they want to know. >> how does it todays vote give any rights to the minority party o...

The senate this week have answered president trumps call to go chase down theories that he has. remember he said that the fbi agents who opened this investigation into the 2016 campaign interference were, quote, treasonous, he said that earlier this year. william barr is working here on behalf of president trump, theres no other way to put it. >> so, willie, theres only one reason attorney general barr whos supposed to be managing the justice department, which is a fairly large job and one with ...

Presidents friends and family list. this is not an approach we want other countries to take. the presidents conversation with zelensky and soliciting foreign campaign interference is exactly the kind of thing we tell other countries not to do. we tell other countries not to rely on personal relationships rather than official channels. >> in terms of getting to the bottom of exactly what happened we know secretary of state mike pompeo has been subpoenaed. also five state department officials have...

Campaign interference. >> your campaign this time around, if foreigners, if russia, if china, if someone else offers you information on opponents, should they accept it, or should they call the fbi? >> i think maybe you do both. i think you might want to listen. >> you want that kind of interference in our elections? >> its not an interference. they have information. i think id take it. >> youre not supposed to take it. turns out he wouldnt just take it. hed ask for it as well. this president an...

Arent all. theres a whole universe of events that were only scratching the surface of. and no real denials from trump, not about that call. its not fake. hes given us a string of contradicting explanations about why he held up the money, right? innocent, i just wanted to fight corruption. i wanted europe to get involved. but the call itself, holding up the aid money, covering up the call, none of that screams of being on the up and up. in contrast, bidens always been open about what he did becau...

Delivered to the attorney general, one thing i ask people to remember is that, well, of course the president wants to know what its going to say about him and his campaign and any associates from the campaign. there is also something very instructive to america coming from this report, we imagine. that is the extent to which russia tried to interfere in americas elections. we also know from our intelligence agencies that those efforts continue. and i dont think in this report they are going to s...

Been verystrategically smart in spreading pieces around the different parts of the department. for example the "wall street journal" had a major story about the michael cohen investigation. that is not bob mueller. the last -- >> district of new york. >> and the last two indictments that we saw on russia-related campaign interference, mariia butina, and helena, both not bob mueller. so you actually cant fire your way out of this problem if you are the president. and so that is reason number one....

Cancel this meeting after the grand jury delivered indictments that directly connect the kremlin to the 2016 campaign interference. it it it involves 12 russianss allegedly hacking democrats emails to damage then candidate hillary clinton and yet instead of condemning russia president trump points a finger at his predecessorer. these russian individuals did their work during the obama years. why didnt obama did something about it it? because he thought crooked hillary would win. thats why. but f...

And i thnk hes really thumbing his nose at mueller and the american public by having this meeting and ive said this before, i dont think just because trump does something out in the open we can assume that that means it doesnt have a nefarious aspect to it. he says things in tweets and on television and in public that you know, i think certainly could contribute to a case for an obstruction of justice. i think having this meeting, he very well could be continuing to talk about if theres proof th...

That the probe is expanding into possible foreign campaign interference. the "new york times" reporting on previously unknown trump tower meeting in august of 2016 that included donald trump jr., an israeli specialist in social media manipulation and prominent trump supporter who is former ceo of the controversial private security firm. the times says the meetings participants offered to help the trump campaign and he responded positively and that is unclear if anything came of it. trump jr. say...
