That to people. >> and theres a lot of cherry picking going on because as you know, joe biden said that he actually went to the senate and he said this back when he was in the senate, he went to the senate to undermined the policiesof segregationists. he said im proud of the fact that i came to the senate because of civil rights and yet i figured out how to work with them. now one of the things i always explain about you, rev, sometimes -- i dont know if you know this -- but sometimes people may...

This frustrated secretary of state mike pompeo who said just believe me its what u.s. intelligence says. >> i wouldnt have said it if the intelligence community hadnt become convinced that this was the case. >> heed the u.s. intelligence community became convinced. the problem is the reason allies do not trust pompeo because he has under cut and questioned the u.s. intelligence community. take the death of washington post journalist jamal khashoggi which the cia concluded was ordered by the crow...

This man has access to the most sensitive intelligence our community produces. i have tremendous amount of confidence if they felt the administration was cherry picking or misleading the american people with intelligence related to iran that we would find out about it. start with that. schiff makes another really important point and this is the who hole that we have dug ourselves into with the unilateralism when it comes to iran. when crisis moments come, and this is a crisis moment, we find it ...

Intelligence community quite often, and theyre questioning all of the analysis. theyre questioning their intent. so i think that is much more damaging. >> interesting. >> i think you make a good point there, because the iraq thing was people were looking for intelligence, made the case for war, dismissing intelligence. and thats a real case of cherry picking. and it was the politicization of intelligence. this is different. this is actually, i think youre right, its much more insidious and funda...

Interference in the election. >> that is what he read from when he began talking about that first indictment, a year ago, june. peter alexander, the president tweeted and now sarah sanders issued a statement. the tweet nothing changes from the mueller report. there was insufficient evidence and in our country a person is incident. the case is closed. thank you. now sarah sanders statement and it seems to me she is certainly putting her own spin and cherry picking what has happened here today. >>...

Me, at least, and i think others, particularly in the intelligence community, to know what is the scope of this. >> but youre quite right about the potential for cherry picking. the bigger issue, of course, is potential -- as you alluded, potential compromise of some very potential sources and methods. >> and thats real? >> its real in terms of the impact of potentially peoples lives being at risk. and then ancillary effects like what do our both allies think about it and how confident are they ...

Russia investigation, meaning the intelligence work done on the interference, which goes back years, or is it more narrowly focused on the origins of the counterintelligence investigation? and from the media reporting, its not clear which it is. if you listen to the president, hes kind of all over the map on this. on one hand, he says its everything. and he classifies millions of documents, which implies the broader scope. and in the segment you just showed, it seems to be more limited to the or...

What do you think they will do? >> i dont know what they will do. we call this judicial tyranny. our district judges in the constitution? no. who creates them? the courts with the signature of the president. 700 federal judges all get to sit there and issue nationwide injunctions? what if one issues one and san francisco and one issues one in chicago and another one issues one and baltimore, maryland, have a conflict? we have ruled by tyranny and its really taking off under president drunk. what...

These are obama district court judges, advocacy groups cherry picking these judges in maryland, in california. look at this decision today in new york. and obama judge. look at the decision in dc. and obama judge. look at the emoluments clause standing decision, and obama judge, the tyranny of activist obama judges. >> what about the fact republicans are going to say but now donald trump is sitting record numbers filling the federal bench with his folks. 5 or 10 years from now maybe the issue an...

Other citizens. but as everyone has heard by now, mueller didnt make that kind of decision about indictment, nor did ken starr or jaworski who investigated nixon. they issued material, information, indictments of other nonpresidents and left it up to congress, not the doj or mr. barr to decide what, if anything, to do about it. its telling to have mr. barr double down on some claims that are false and others that feel like cherry picking to back up trumps view no matter what. thats not how the s...
