That the president would be shielded from that? >> it is conceivable. i think sometimes we jump to a lot of conclusions. i remember when i worked in the white house, six months i was there, there would be stuff that happened, people would jump out in the newspaper, this means that, that means that and therefore this. they didnt know what they were talking about. i dont want to be in that category. it is dangerous. john kelly, you think adult in the room, patriot. >> general. >> reporter: general...

Senator johnson, youll remember, seized on another strzok-page exchange referring to a secret society, suggesting it was evidence of corruption and secret off site meetings. he even claimed to have an informant on this. turns out sources tell cnn the full exchange had to do with a gag gift of vladimir putin-themed calendars. manu raju asked senator johnson whether it had all been a joke. he said, quote, its a real possibility. we asked senator johnson to come on the program but never heard back ...

Faux scandals that are thrown out there to cause some americans to say, golly, i wonder whether the fbi is on the up and up, because at some point, bob mueller may come through with some conclusions. its important to the presidents supporters to have that uncertainty out there. >> there probably wont be a rush from republicans to come out and talk about this publicly. are you hearing anything from your republican colleagues privately? >> well, yeah, a great deal of concern. and its not just priv...

But i think that the jumping to conclusions is ultimately muddying what might otherwise be a legitimate case, because it all has to go to the extreme level of this sort of discredits any investigation into the president. it just was simply wrong. >> ill say the same thing i said about the nunes memo. if you have actual evidence of bias in law enforcement agencies, dear god, put it out. but put it out in a bipartisan way so the people can believe it, as opposed to this little cherrypicking stuff....

Attempt to distract from the president and russia. how much credence do you give that when you hear that every day? >> its a line theyve been using for months now without a doubt. and thats why you have these competing investigations and there is leverage here. donald trump is talking about the hillary clinton clinton investigation. the clinton people and democrats including former obama people are talking about the special counsel. i honestly think that a lot of these investigations have to pla...

That is senator, president barack obama was very concerned about russia interference in the election. but he didnt seem to take that public in terms of helping hillary clinton. so what i want to remember about this text between lisa page and peter strzok is the reason theyre communicating on government phones, is because theyre having an affair. and they dont want to communicate with each other on their personal phones. if you took personal phones from anybody in the fbi during the obama adminis...

Conclusions as to who is the best democrat to take on donald trump. we are in the midst of trying to take back the house and senate so congress can be the constitutional duty being a check and balance. >> what do you think of what he said there that he is a joke. >> he is a joke. a long national nightmare that hopefully at some point would be over. and you know we shall be focusing on trying to deliver a better jobs, better future for the american people. but donald trump continues to deliver no...

Especially in a case like this. this is not the beginning of the investigation where the special counsels office is simply trying to gather they already have a lot of facts. the purpose is to confront him with those facts. the missing link is the intent of the president. the only way the special counsels office really gets to that intent is to interview the president. so theres no legal reason for doing it. any lawyer worth his salt or her salt would never let the president go into an interview ...

>> they say it was tongue in cheek. democrats cant take a joke. >> well, let me tell you, he is a joke. >> that was pretty bold. and some would say really extremely accurate. i want to know what you think of those comments. and another question, do you think joe biden is the man who can go up against donald trump in the next election because -- because he doesnt seem to be afraid to take him on at all. >> he would be a formidable candidate. but i do think it would be premature for us to draw con...

Aperteif -- the only circle this that matter. the rest of this stuff, its interesting to watch the interplay, interesting to watch the political posturing. there is two big things we are looking for, inspector generals report at the justice department on the way into hillary clintons mishandling of state secret. one. and james coleman, going to have some pretty dope tweets -- be when hes working on them right now >> we just have to wait before we reach conclusions, we have to wait and see what t...
